问题     【C1】______some nineteenth century New Yorkers said "Harlem", they meant almost all of Manhattan above Eighty-sixth Street. Toward the end of the century,【C2】______, a group of citizens in upper Manhattan—【C3】______perhaps, to【C4】______a closer and more【C5】______sense of community—designated a section that they wished to have known as Harlem. The chosen area was the Harlem【C6】______Blacks were moving in the first decades of the new century as they left their old settlements on the middle and lower blocks of the West Side.
    As the community became predominantly Black, the【C7】______word "Harlem" seemed to lose its old meaning. At【C8】______it was easy to forget that "Harlem"was【C9】______the people from Holland, and【C10】______for most of its three centuries—it was first settled in the sixteen hundreds—it had been【C11】______by White New Yorkers. "Harlem" became synonymous【C12】______Black life and Black style in Manhattan. Blacks living there used the word【C13】______they had coined it【C14】______—not only to【C15】______their area of residence but to express their【C16】______of the various qualities of its life and atmosphere. As the years passed, "Harlem"【C17】______an even larger meaning. In the words of Adam Clayton Powell, Sr., the pastor of the Abyssinian Baptist Church, Harlem "became the【C18】______of liberty and the Promised Land to Negroes everywhere".
    By 1919, Harlem’s population had grown by several thousand. Some of the new arrivals merely lived in Harlem; it was New York【C19】______they had come to, looking for jobs and for all the other legendary opportunities of life in the city. To others who migrated to Harlem, New York was merely the city in which they found themselves: Harlem was exactly【C20】______they wished to be [br] 【C5】
选项 A、precise
B、accurate
C、correct
D、exact
答案 A
解析 词义辨析题accurate，correct，exact，precise都含有一定的“正确，精确”之意。accurate“准确的，精确的”，指某人或某事不仅不出错，而且与事实无出入，强调准确性；correct“正确的，指某人或某事合乎事实或公认的标准或规则，没有错误”；exact“确切的、精确的”，语气较accurate强，指某人或某事数量或质量完全符合事实或标准，而且在细枝末节上也丝毫不差；precise“精密的”，指具有高度的精确性和准确性，强调范围界限的鲜明性或细节的精密，有时略带“吹毛求疵”的意思。这里指Harlem这一词表达的含义，不是强调是否正确，而是指出其含义的界定范围，故选A。
