选项 _________(52)
A:more       
B:less
C:other       
D:rather
答案B
解析come out：出版、发表；come on：开始、接着来；come over：过来、顺便来访；come off：结果、脱落。这里指发表报告。所以选D。
这句话的意思是：一个世纪前，世界人口应该是非常少。所以选less，即少于5％。
along:沿着；through：通过、穿过。表示时间的节点用by。“by the middleof this century”，意思是“到本世纪中叶”。
barely：几乎不、几乎没有。表示大约的人口数，用“almost”，差不多。
前面应该是和后面的比较，后面用“developing world”，所以此处填“ developed” .flourishing:繁荣的、茂盛的；thriving：旺盛的、蒸蒸日上的；fertile：肥沃的、富饶的、多产的。
从上下文判断，这里指城市人口的增加。extension：扩展；raise：上升、加薪，它不和population搭配使用。addition：添加、增加，不可用来修饰人口，所以选growth。
“put pressure on”是固定搭配，表示“给压力”； restraint：约束、抑制；load: 承载，负荷；weight：重量。
此处指提供住所和服务，即service。 surroundings：环境、生活环境；con-Zerns：关注、关心；communities：社区、团体。
此处意思是“迁入城市”, move into是正确的搭配。around：围绕、环绕。
这句话的意思是：“受社会财富的分配和差异的驱使，社会变得越来越不公平。”所以用driven，和后面的“by”构成被动语态。pressed：重压；drawn：吸引；pulled:拖、拉。
此处指社会财富的不均。社会财富的正确搭配是“social wealth ”。 situation：情景；treasure:财宝、珍宝；category：分类、范畴。
本句话的意思是：“城市的扩张”，用expand，洽当。invade：入侵、侵略； split：分裂；enlarge：扩大、放大。
表示速度用“at the rate”。 beyond：超过、超越。
在逆城市化的进程中，人们从大城市搬往小城市，4个单词中只有“major” 表示“重要的、大的”意思。essential：基本的、本质的；primitive：原始的、粗糙的；prior和to搭配，表示“在……之前”。
此处是一种“de-urbanization”的发展趋势，trend意思正确。direction：指示、方向； style：风格。
