Rio De Janeiro is infamous for its high crime rate. As it prepares to【C1】______the 2014 World Cup and 2016 Olympic Games, the city is bracing for a flood of international【C2】______. Given its crime-ridden(犯罪猖獗的)reputation, how well are its【C3】______doing in tackling the problem? But wait a moment before cancelling your flights. There are two reasons for caution.
Firstly, Brazil’s population is young, and【C4】______very rapidly. So you would expect the number of recorded crimes to be increasing too. What’s more meaningful is the crime rate—the number of recorded【C5】______per person. The crime rate in Rio seems to be increasing at a【C6】______rate than its population—in spite of the massive security crackdown(镇压). But despite all this, things may not be as bad as they【C7】______. No, really. The second, and perhaps more interesting, reason for caution: it’s all about that little word "recorded".
My colleague in the FTs Brazil bureau, Samantha Pearson, comments: "Since 2008 the authorities have started to move into the city’s poor areas and set up police posts there. Before, these areas were completely【C8】______—if a crime happened, it would【C9】______be reported to the police. The rise in recorded incidents could just be because the authorities are【C10】______back the more dangerous areas of the city, and people are now reporting these crimes. " [br] 【C4】

选项

答案 A

解析根据句子结构可知，该空应填入动词的现在分词形式，与前面的is构成现在进行时。由空格处后一句Soyou would expect the number of recorded crimes to be increasing too．可知，巴西有记录的犯罪数量不断增加是因为“巴西人口的年轻化，且______迅速”。由此推断，正是由于巴西人口的低龄化且增长快速，才导致这个国家的犯罪数量增加。[A]growing“增长”与后面一句话中的increasing相呼应，符合句意，故为答案。
