For many years it was common in the United States to associate Chinese Americans with restaurants and laundries. People did not realize that the Chinese had been【C1】______into these occupations.
The first Chinese to reach the United States came during the California Gold Rush of 1849. Like most of the other people there, they had come to search for gold. In that【C2】______unoccupied land, the men【C3】______a claim for themselves by placing makers in the ground. However, either because the Chinese were so different from the others or because they worked so patiently that they sometimes succeeded in turning a【C4】______worthless mining claim into a profitable one, they became the scapegoats of their envious competitor. They were【C5】______ in many ways. Often they were prevented from working their claims; some localities even passed regulations forbidding them to own【C6】______. The Chinese therefore started to seek out other ways of earning a living. Some of them began to do the【C7】______for the white miners; others set up small restaurants. (There were almost no women in California in those days, and the Chinese filled a real need by doing this "woman’s work" .) Some went to work as farmhands or as fishermen.
Chinese Americans retain many aspects of their ancient culture, even after having lived here for several generations. For example, their family ties continue to be【C8】______strong (encompassing grandparents, uncles, aunts, cousins, and others). Members of the family lend each other【C9】______support and also practical help when necessary. From a very young age children are imbued with the old values and attitudes, including respect for their elders and a feeling of responsibility to the family. This helps to explain why there is so【C10】______ juvenile delinquency among them.
A. little B. severe C. moral D. driven
E. staked F. forced G. surprisingly H. farming
I. largely J. laundry K. harassed L. claims
M. remarkably N. seemingly O. financial [br] 【C1】
选项
答案
D
解析
driven,词义辨析题。根据词性,此处应当填入动词被动态,且该动词可与into搭配使用。因此可选范围为“driven,forced”。drive sb.into sth.表示“迫使(某人)处于(某种)状态”,如The failure drove him into despair.这次失败使他绝望了。force sb.into doing sth.表示“强迫某人做某事”,如Public opinion can force the government into action.舆论可使政府采取行动。此处表示华人不得已而从事这些工作,不是美国人强迫中国人做这些工作。故选driven。
