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] The passage suggests that the spiraling decline of black neighborhoods can be blamed primarily upon
选项 A、a lack of political will within underprivileged communities to counter the economic effects of segregation
B、the diminished significance of urban black neighborhoods as economic and residential centers relatively to other areas of the city
C、the tendency of poor blacks to live among other poor minorities, unlike poor whites, who live dispersed among rich whites
D、the uniqueness of the geographic pattern in which black communities have developed in America, relative to other communities
E、a lack of resources within the urban black American communities to resist the forces which lead to segregation
答案 B
