问题     Where we choose to live can have a huge impact on our lives. Living in an unfriendly neighborhood, or one where residents move often, can make it harder to find child-care help or other support. On the other hand, settling in a peaceful rural hamlet(小村庄)may seem great— until you realize you can’t make a living【C1】______on the slow dial-up Internet access available there.
    A recent survey【C2】______the question of what bonds us to the places we live, and its findings suggest the【C3】______of life is a more influential factor than economists might think.【C4】______a choice, most people don’t care as much about the local economy as they do about the social offerings, physical beauty and openness of a locale(场地), says a recently released survey of about 14,000 people in 26 communities by Gallup and the Knight Foundation.

【C9】
选项
答案N
解析 空格位于opportunities之前，因此应填形容词，作定语。本句提到，即使在压力比较大的底特律，当地居民现在也比近几年更加热爱生活，也许原因在于日益美化的公园、绿色的空间，因此空格处内容也应是底特律居民热爱他们的城市的原因，故选N)recreational，表示“休闲娱乐的”。
