【解析】文章讲述了共同居住住宅的发展现状、具体构成、优势和受欢迎程度。

【1】it

考查代词。句中的真正主语是to live together in the shared space.作形式主语代替真正主语用it，故填it.

【2】However

考查连词。句意：在许多国家不同背景的家庭住在共享的空间是不稀奇的，在美国这种想法被认为是奇怪的。前后句是转折关系，故填However.

【3】called

考查过去分词。句中主语this type of housing和动词call是被动关系用过去分词作定语，指这种房子被叫做，故填called.

【4】popularity

考查名词。此处用在动词gain后作宾语用名词，指获得了普遍欢迎。故填popularity.

【5】privately

考查副词。此处修饰动词own用副词，指私人拥有，故填副词privately.

【6】has been built

考查时态语态。根据时间状语in recent years可知用现在完成时，句中主语communities和动词build是被动关系，指住宅小区被建，故填现在完成时的被动形式has been built.

【7】where

考查关系副词。句中包含定语从句，先行词是place在定语从句中作地点状语，指在这个地方居民们购物、做饭和吃饭在一起。故填关系副词where.

【8】with

考查介词。play with sb.“和某人玩”，with表示“和”，故填with.

【9】which

考查关系代词。此处是非限制性定语从句，which指代前面整个句子，指孩子们有小朋友们一起玩这件事，故填关系代词which.

【10】less

考查形容词比较级。句中有than表示比较意思，指比在附近公寓花钱少，故填“少”的比较级less.
