25、oreC.lessD.larger【解析】选C。根据常识,垂直城市利用高度空间,会比平地的城市用较少土地,并且与下文provide homes _more people呼应,较少的土地为更多的人提供房屋,所以和下文结论“they will be practical for small countries that have _populations.”意义一致。故选C项。8.A.onB.toC.withD.for【解析】选D。该空所需介词是与provide的固定搭配,provide sth.for sb./provide sb.with sth.故选D项。9.A.smallB.largeC.a
