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.

M. what N. with O. move [br] 【C8】
选项
答案
J
解析
designate,上下文题。根据词性,此处应当填入动词原形。此处表示黑人用Harlem这一词不仅指代他们的居住区域,也用这一词特指这一区域的生活氛围。根据这一含义,可选择designate。同时,上文也有相同用法“designated a section that they wished to have known as Harlem”。
