The problem with today’s housing crisis, politically, is that it is just not all that visible. At the end of the Second World War, families with kids【C1】________into shared houses. In 1946, more than 46,000 families took over military camps, empty hotels and flats. That was a(n)【C2】________housing crisis. Today’s does not come【C3】________: most people still have somewhere to live.
It is nonetheless【C4】________, and worthy of political attention. But the question of exactly why our expensive homes【C5】________a crisis is more subtly depicted than it can appear. Since 1973 at least, the total number of "dwellings" has climbed far faster than the population. How is this possible,【C6】________that building rates have【C7】________? And doesn’t it mean that there isn’t really a housing crisis?
First, in the 1960s and 1970s, while councils happily knocked【C8】________new estates, they were also busy pulling down lots of old "【C9】________" houses too. Social housing helped people move from broken old crowded houses into【C10】________new flats or houses, typically with much more【C11】________.
Meanwhile, new homes were built on green fields. Average household sizes【C12】________dramatically, even as the average house got bigger. Though the housing stock【C13】________by less than the rate of building,【C14】________got a lot more space in which to live.
In recent decades,【C15】________, everyone has got a lot less space. We have had【C16】________little new building, but【C17】________we have magically created lots of new housing. Essentially, so far, the housing crisis has been【C18】________by subdividing our homes to【C19】________the extra population growth.【C20】________what new homes we do build are the smallest in the developed world.
【C19】
选项
A、make way for
B、make use of
C、make up to
D、make ready for
答案
A
解析
前面提到建小户型的房子,目的应该是腾出地方给额外增长的人口居住,从而解决住房危机。make way for意为“为…腾出地方”符合语境,故选A。原文并没有线索表明利用额外增长的人口,故排除B项make use of“利用”。C项makeup to“接近”代入空格,句意不通,也排除。从上文可看出,现在的房子已经变小了,并不是做准备,因此排除D项make ready for“为……作准备”。
