Globally, urban populations are expected to double in the next 40 years, and an extra 2 billion people will need new places to live, as well as services and ways to move around their cities.

选项
答案
H
解析
[语法判断]通过分析句子结构可知,空格位于while连接的并列分句中,从句的主语是young people,空格前有系动词are,空格后为介宾结构for other means of travel,由此推断空格处需要填入动词的分词形式或形容词,与be动词搭配构成谓语或者系表结构,而且空格处所填单词能与for搭配。[语义判断]逗号前的句子指出,在发达国家,随着更多的人搬到市中心,汽车的使用量正在下降。空格所在句意在说明年轻人会使用其他的出行方式。因此,空格处所填词应与后面的for other means of travel搭配表达“使用其他的出行方式”的意思。备选词中符合以上要求的只有opting,opt for…是固定搭配,意为“选择……”,由此确定答案为H)。
