The chosen area was theHarlem which Blacks were moving in the first decades of the 2._new century as they left their old settlements on the middle and lower blocks of the West Side.As the community became predominantly Black,
3、 the veryword“Harlem” seemed to lose its old meaning. At time it was 3._easy to forget that “Harlem”was originally the Dutch name“Harlem”; the community it described had been founded by 4._people from Holland;and that for most of its three centuriesitwas first settled in the sixteen hundredsit had b

Harlem which to黑人们搬进了Harlem,因此这里Harlem是先行词,关系代词应当表示地点,即可以是where,也可以是“介词+which”的形式。3. time times“at a time”是“一次”的意思
8、,而“at times”是“时而,偶尔”的意思。4.Harlem; the community that“forget”后面引导的是三个宾语从句,在这种情况下,“that”通常不能省略。5.preoccupied occupied“be preoccupied with sth.”指“忙于某事”。“occupy”是“占领”之意。6to with“by synonymous with”是“与等同”“与意义相同”的意思,与synonymous搭配的是介词with。7.on “by themselves”或“on their own”都表示“他们自己”的意思,“coin”是“创造”之意。8.asse
9、rted assumed “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。9.for in由下文“it was New York they had come to”可知这些人并非是为Harlem而活着,因为他们的目标是整个纽约城,他们只是居住在Harlem罢了。10.what where本段中Harlem还是作为一个地区名存在,相关的思想意义并不多。热点试题PASSAGE 2The white House began to be built in 1792, but it was notcompleted until ten y
10、ears later. Every American president lived in it except for George Washington, although he did have a 1._majority part in designing it. 2._The government held a competition to choose the bestdesign for the presidents house.

He made the house long and wider, and 4._changed it into a two-storied house instead of three.The second president, John Adams, was first to live in the 5._White House.

14、ked why the presidents house is called the White House. Historians say it has been so called simply because it was painted white.注释1.for 在句子中说明前后两个相等成份的关系时用except,否则用except for。本句是说每位美国总统,除了乔治华盛顿,都曾在白宫居住过,“Every American president”与“George Washington”为对等成分,故应去掉for。2.majority majormajority意为“大多数”、“半数
15、以上”,一般后接复数名词,而major则为“主要的”。本句意为“华盛顿在设计白宫中起了主要作用”,故应用major。3.of from要表示一个人的家乡在哪里,介词应为from。4.long longer本句意思是说华盛顿把白宫设计得比原来更长,更宽了一些。与原来作比较,long当然应用比较级,而且and连接的两个形容词也应为对等成分,既然wider是比较级,long也应为比较级。5. was first thethe +序数词具有名词意味,在这里the first即表示the first president。6. onto into“搬进新居”应为“move in”或“move into”,move on意为“继续前进”,而“move onto”则是不存在的。7.live livinglive (a)意
