【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。這兩句之間的關系是轉(zhuǎn)折，且另起一句，故填However 。

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

【4】popularity 考查固定短語。gain popularity享有盛譽；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。該處是泛指一個廚房和餐廳等等，故填a。

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

【8】where考查連詞。分析句子結(jié)構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。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。分析句子結(jié)構可知空缺處在句中作形容詞的比較級，修飾money。故填less。
