   The problem with today’s housing crisis, politically, is that it is just not all that visible. At the end of the Second World War, families with kids 【C1】______ into shared houses. In 1946, more than 46,000 families took over military camps, empty hotels and flats. That was a 【C2】______ housing crisis—one that politicians couldn’t deny existed. Today’s does not come close: most people still have somewhere to live.
   It is nonetheless real, and 【C3】______ of political attention. But the question of exactly why our expensive homes 【C4】______a crisis is more subtle than it can appear. Since 1973 at least, the total number of "dwellings" has climbed far faster than the population. How is this possible, given that building rates have collapsed? And doesn’t it mean that there isn’t really a housing crisis?
   First, in the 1960s and 1970s, social housing helped people move from broken crowded houses into shiny new 【C5】______, typically with much more space.

选项

答案 D

解析 空格所在句缺少渭语动词,因此空格处应填入动词,且要能与into搭配。下一句提到,1946年有几万户家庭住进了部队营地、人去楼空的旅馆和公寓,由此推测,二战末的住房是比较紧张的,故选D项crammed“塞满”。entered“进入”不能突显二战末的住房拥挤,不如D项好,故排除。
