The homeless make up a growing percentage of America’s population. Indeed homelessness has reached such proportions  that local  governments  can’t possibly 【C1】______. To help homeless people toward independence, the federal government must support job training programs, raise the minimum wage, and fund more low-cost housing.
Not everyone agrees on the number of Americans who are homeless. Estimates range anywhere from 600,000 to 3 million. Although the figure may vary, analysts do agree on another matter: that the number of the homeless is 【C2】______. One of the federal government’s studies predicts that the number of the homeless will reach nearly 19 million by the end of this decade.
Finding ways to 【C3】______ this growing homeless population has become increasingly difficult. Even when homeless individuals manage to find a 【C4】______ that will give them three meals a day and a place to sleep at night, a good number still spend the bulk of each day 【C5】______ the street. Part of the problem is that many homeless adults are addicted to alcohol or drugs. And a significant number of the homeless have serious mental disorders. Many others while not addicted or 【C6】______ ill, simply lack the everyday 【C7】______ skills needed to turn their lives around. Boston Globe reporter Chris Reidy notes that the situation will improve only when there are 【C8】______ programs that address the many needs of the homeless. 【C9】______ Edward Zlotkowski, director of community service at Bentley College in Massachusetts, puts it, "There has to be 【C10】______ of programs. What’s needed is a package deal." [br] 【C5】

选项

答案 M

解析由谓语动词spend推知，此处填入(in)+动名词或介词on+sth.。本句的意思是即使解决了吃住问题，还是会有很多人每天花费大部分时间……街头。wander表示“漫无目的地游荡，流浪”，符合句意。stroll表示“悠闲地散步”。若用于说明无家可归者，不符合上下文语义。
