【1】tiny

【2】size

【3】carefully

【4】stored

【5】other

【6】large

【解析】

文章大意：文章主要描写的是一队香港的建筑师预测未来家会是怎么样的。随着人口的增多，空间会变得越来越小，所以城市家庭的住宿空间也会越来越小。

【1】句意：香港的一组建筑师说城市的房子将会很小。

根据所给空后面的“will be”可知，应该填的是形容词作表语，由后文“as populations continue to grow and space becomes more expensive”可知，应该是小的，tiny意为“极小的”，故填tiny。

【2】句意：他们设计的“太空公寓”面积只有30平方米。

根据所给空前面的句子“are only 30 square metres”以及固定搭配in size意为“大小”，故填size。

【3】句意：但一切都经过精心策划，以充分利用有限的空间。

根据所给空后面的“planned”可知，应该填的是副词修饰动词，由后面的句子“to make good use of the limited space”可知，应该是精心策划，carefully意为“精心地”，故填carefully。

【4】句意：如果不需要，沙发床和桌子都可以折叠起来，放在墙上的一个小空间里。

根据所给空前面的“can be folded away （折叠）and”可知，应该填的是动词的过去分词，由后面的句子“into a small space in the wall”可知，应该是放置，store意为“放置”，过去分词是stored，故填stored。

【5】句意：其他房间虽小但实用。

根据所给空后面的“rooms”和句子“The bathroom contains ……the block of flats”可知，应该是其他的，other意为“其他的”，故填other。

【6】句意：所有的房间都有很高的天花板，以提供尽可能多的存储空间，而公寓有大窗户，让阳光充足。

根据所给空后面的“windows”可知，应该填的是形容词作定语，由后面的句子“let in plenty of sunlight”可知，应该是大的，large意为“大的”，故填large。
