The homeless make up a growing percentage of America’s population. Indeed homelessness has reached such proportions that local governments can’t possibly【C1】______. To help homeless people toward independence, the federal government must support job training programs, raise the minimum wage, and fund more low-cost housing.
Not everyone agrees on the number of Americans who are homeless. Estimates range anywhere from 600,000 to 3 million. Although the figure may vary, analysts do agree on another matter: that the number of the homeless is【C2】______. One of the federal government’s studies predicts that the number of the homeless will reach nearly 19 million by the end of this decade.

Part of the problem is that many homeless adults are addicted to alcohol or drugs. And a significant number of the homeless have serious mental disorders. Many others while not addicted or【C6】______ ill, simply lack the everyday【C7】______ skills needed to turn their lives around. Boston Globe reporter Chris Reidy notes that the situation will improve only when there are【C8】______ programs that address the many needs of the homeless.【C9】______ Edward Zlotkowski, director of community service at Bentley College in Massachusetts, puts it, "There has to be【C10】______ of programs.

选项

答案 M

解析由谓语动词spend推知，此处填入(in)+动名词或介词on+sth．。本句的意思是即使解决了吃住问题，还是会有很多人每天花费大部分时间……街头。wander表示“漫无目的地游荡，流浪”，符合句意。stroll表示“悠闲地散步”，若用于说明无家可归者，不符合上下文语义。
