Question

【题目】Fill in the blanks with proper words（在短文的空格内填入适当的词，使其内容通顺。每空格限填一词，首字母已给）

Many of us now live in gated communities (封闭式社区). Only people who live there can go freely inside, and only their cars can pass through the gates. But are you hoping for a more open and c【1】 environment? When gates and walls are gone, everyone can enjoy a city with better traffic, bigger green areas for picnics and more cafes and bookstores to meet your friend.

Turning gated communities into blocks is one way to a【2】 this, according to the Chinese government. On Feb 21, 2016, China said that gated communities should be open to the public.

Open communities have already become p【3】 in many cities of other countries, like Paris an New York City. There, the roads, shops and green areas are for everyone.

First, humans need communication and sharing. A good city needs to offer people enough space to do this.

A【4】 good change blocks may bring is better traffic in cities. There will be more roads open to the public. And more people may choose to walk rather than drive cars because they don’t need to take a long way to get around those gated communities.

However, not everyone likes this idea of open communities. Quite a lot of people say they have s【5】 money on the roads inside the communities. There may be too many people and cars coming and going. And they also worry about s【6】 problems when communities are open.

The Chinese government explained that the opening would be carried out (实施) step by step and more detailed p【7】 would come out in the future. Also, they have been testing blocks in some areas in Chengdu Sichuan, and so far it has been working well.

【解析】

中国政府提出了开放社区的概念，此文列举出一些开放社区的好处，同时也提出一些人反对开放社区的原因。因此想要逐步完善开放社区计划，还要一步一步具体实施。

【1】句意：但是你希望有一个更加开放和舒适的环境吗？

此处的环境是与上文Only people who live there can go freely inside, and only their cars can pass through the gates.封闭式小区作比较，更加开放和舒适的环境。open表示“开放的”，and连接两个并列词汇，此空为形容词。convenient表示“舒适的”。故填convenient。

【2】根据中国政府所说的，将封闭社区向街区转变是一个实现的方法。

this指代上文a more open and convenient environment，one way to do sth.表示“做……的一个方法”，此空缺动词，根据首字母提示，这是一个实现它的方法。achieve“实现”。故填achieve。

【3】句意：开放社区在其他国家的很多城市都已经流行起来了，像纽约的巴黎。

此处become接形容词，形容Open communities。become popular 表示“变得流行的”，结合句意可知这种社区在其他国家已经很流行了。故填popular。

【4】句意：另一个好的改变是街区可能会给城市带来更好的交通。

根据上一段First可知街区给城市带来的改变，这段是第二个，another表示“另一个；再一”。故填Another。

【5】句意：很大一部分人说社区内的路都是他们花钱修的。

spend+钱+on+sth. 表示“花费金钱做某事”，根据空前have可知是现在完成时。spend过去分词形式为spent。故填spent。

【6】句意：并且当社区开放时，他们也很担心安全问题。

根据上句There may be too many people and cars coming and going.来来往往的人和车，可知他们担心的是安全问题。safety表示“安全”，名词，此处是名词作定语修饰名词。故填safety。

【7】句意：中国政府解释到开放社区将一步一步被实施，更多的计划细节在未来将会出台。

此句是一个并列句，后一句缺主语。detailed，adj，“详细的”，修饰名词。plan表示“计划”，根据more可知用可数名词复数。故填plans。
