試題分析：本文講述了美國(guó)的一種普遍現(xiàn)象，就是不同家庭背景的人居住在一起。這種方式在美國(guó)被稱為co-housing，在別的國(guó)家這種現(xiàn)象并不常見。

【1】it 考查代詞。it作形式主語。故填it。

【2】However 考查連詞。此處是說，在許多國(guó)家，來自不同背景的家庭居住在一起不是不同尋常的，但是在其他國(guó)家的想法有些奇怪。這兩句之間的關(guān)系是轉(zhuǎn)折，且另起一句，故填However 。

【3】called考查非謂語動(dòng)詞。分析句子結(jié)構(gòu)可知空缺處在句中作定語，修飾co-housing， co-housing和call之間是動(dòng)賓關(guān)系，要用過去分詞。故填called。

【4】popularity 考查固定短語。gain popularity享有盛譽(yù)；此處是合居在美國(guó)很有名。故填popularity。

【5】privately考查副詞。分析句子結(jié)構(gòu)可知空缺處在句中作副詞，修飾own。故填privately。

【6】a 考察冠詞。該處是泛指一個(gè)廚房和餐廳等等，故填a。

【7】have been built 考查動(dòng)詞的時(shí)態(tài)。該空缺處根據(jù)in recent years可知要用現(xiàn)在完成時(shí)。故填have been built。

【8】where考查連詞。分析句子結(jié)構(gòu)可知空缺處在句中作后置定語的連詞，根據(jù)a place可知修飾的是地點(diǎn)。故填where。

【9】with 考查固定短語。此處是說，孩子們和其他孩子一起玩耍，play with 和……玩耍。故填with。

【10】less 考查形容詞的比較級(jí)。分析句子結(jié)構(gòu)可知空缺處在句中作形容詞的比較級(jí)，修飾money。故填less。
