问题 　　Shopping habits in the United States have changed greatly in the last quarter of the 20th century.As early as in the 1900s most American towns and cities had a Main Street.Main Street was always in the heart of a town.This street was 【C1】__________（line）on both sides with many 【C2】__________（vary）businesses.Here, shoppers walked into stores to look at all sorts of merchandise: clothing, furniture, hardware, groceries.In addition, some shops offered medical care.These shops included drugstores, restaurants, shoe-repair stores, and barber or hairdressing shops.But in the 1950s, a change began to take 【C3】__________.Too many automobiles had crowded into Main Street while too few parking places were available【C4】__________ shoppers.Because the streets were crowded, merchants began to look with interest at the open spaces outside the city limits.Open space is what their car-driving customers needed.And open space is what they got when the first shopping centre was built.Shopping centres, or rather malls, started as a 【C5】 co__________of small new stores away from crowded city centres.【C6】At__________ by hundreds of free parking space, customers were drawn away from downtown areas to outlying malls.And the 【C7】__________（grow）popularity of shopping centres led in turn to the building of【C8】__________（big）and better stocked stores.By the late 1970s, many shopping malls had almost developed into small cities themselves.In addition to providing the 【C9】__________ （convenient）of one stop shopping, malls were transformed 【C10】__________ landscaped parks, with benches, fountains, and outdoor entertainment.
【C7】
选项
答案growing
解析 句意:这些购物中心越来越大的名气反过来导致了更大、设备更好的商店的建成。该句谓语为led to,意为“导致”。一个句子只能有一个谓语，故空缺处应为非谓语。grow与popularity为主谓关系，所以为动词的-ing形式。因此空缺处填入growing。
