问题            The spatial distribution of different racial and ethnic populations
       demonstrates that segregation persists in virtually all of America’s housing
       markets, from large urban areas to rural counties. What exactly are the ill-
Line    effects of this demographic isolation? The most extreme geographic segregation
(5)     is unique to black Americans and apparently unrelated to economic status and
       not explained by preferences for the residence, thus strongly suggesting the
       persistence of racial discrimination. In contrast to poor whites, who typically
       live dispersed among better-off families, poor blacks, because of residential
       segregation, are concentrated in poor neighborhoods. As a result, residential
(10)    segregation contributes to the problems of these areas, including high
       concentrations of poverty, educational failure, unemployment, extramarital
       parenthood, crime, and high mortality. In addition, the increasing importance
       of suburbs as centers for commerce and habitation has drained resources from
       inner cities and led to a cyclic decline in the political will to address poverty and
(15)    urban decline, both of which disproportionately affect ethnic minorities. [br] According to the passage, all of the following factors have been associated as either a cause or effect of the emergence of segregated black neighborhoods EXCEPT
选项 A、The failure of the educational system to help improve blacks’ economic status
B、Political apathy on the of the authorities to solve the problem of segregation
C、A preference on the part of blacks concerning where they choose to live
D、Rising rate of unemployment among the black community
E、Racial conflict between the black community and other communities
答案 C
