When some nineteenth century New Yorkers said "Harlem”, they meant almost all of Manhattan above Eighty-sixth Street. Toward the end of the century, however, a group of citizens in upper Manhattan—wanting, perhaps, to【C1】________ a closer and more【C2】________ sense of community—designated a section that they wished to have known as Harlem. The【C3】________ area was the Harlem to which 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【C4】________ word "Harlem" seemed to lose its old meaning. At times it was easy to forget that "Harlem" was【C5】________ the people from Holland, and【C6】________ for most of its three centuries—it was first settled in the sixteen hundreds—it had been occupied by White New Yorkers. "Harlem" became synonymous【C7】________ Black life and Black style in Manhattan. Blacks living there used the word as though they had coined it on their own—not only to【C8】________ their area of residence but to express their sense of the various qualities of its life and atmosphere. As the years passed, "Harlem" assumes an even larger meaning. In the words of Adam Clayton Powell, the pastor of the Abyssinian Baptist Church, Harlem "became the symbol of liberty and the Promised Land to Negroes everywhere”. By 1919 Harlem’s population had grown by several thousands. Some of the new【C9】________ merely lived in Harlem; it was New York that they had come to, looking for jobs and for all the other legendary opportunities of life in the city. To others who【C10】________ to Harlem, New York was merely the city in which they found themselves: Harlem was exactly what they wished to be.

词义辨析题。根据词性,此处不定式后应当填入动词原形,且此动词宾语为sense,故可选范围为“shape,make”。Make sense“有意义;有道理;讲得通”:What you say makes no sense.“你说的话没有道理”。shape表示“形成,构成”,此处指构成这一词汇更精确的含义。故选shape。
