【解析】

试题分析：本文讲述了合租屋的特点以及合租屋的好处，合租屋可以让人们在现代社会生活得到一种慰藉，人们可以一起购物，做饭并共用晚餐。合租屋还可以节省花费。

【1】it考查代词。It is +adj. for sb. to do sth, it 为形式主语，真正的主语是to 引导的不定式。故填it。

【2】however考查连接词。However 表示转折关系。根据前一句句意，在许多国家来自不同背景的人们住在一起是很常见的。该句意思是 在美国这种想法却很奇怪。两句为转折关系，故填however。

【3】called考查动词。House 跟动词 call 之间为被动关系，句意为这种房子被人们称作为合租建筑，故填called。

【4】popularity考查名词。Gain 为及物动词后接宾语，宾语需用名词形式，故填popularity。

【5】a考查冠词。Relief 为可数名词，前面需要加冠词，a relief 译一种慰藉。故填不定冠词 a。

【6】privately考查副词。所填 privately为副词用来修饰形容词 owned，所以需将形容词private改为副词形式。故填privately。

【7】have been built考查动词。首先co-housing communities 与动词build 之间为被动关系，所以改为be built, 其次，该句的时间状语为in recent years，应该用现在完成时态， 故该空应为现在完成时的被动语态。故填have been built。

【8】where考查定语从句。该句可以转写为Residents shop, cook, and eat together in a co-housing complex place. 此空表示地点应该填where或者in which。故填where。

【9】with考查介词。固定搭配play with sb. 与某人玩耍。故填with。

【10】less考查形容词比较级。根据句意居民还说住在合租房屋比在公寓里花钱要少，该句对比了住在合租屋与公寓的优势，所以运用形容词的比较级。故填less。
