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.

"Harlem" became synonymous【C12】______Black life and Black style in Manhattan.

选项
A、assume
B、assert
C、assemble
D、assign
答案
A
解析
词义辨析题 assert是“肯定,断定”;assume指“开始具有某种(品质或形象等)”,强调的是一个从无到有的发展过程;assemble是“集合,聚集,收集”;assign是指分配给某人一部分工作去做或一份东西去使用。此处指“Harlem”这个词具有更广泛的含义,故选A。
