【解析】

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