选项 A、Likewise
B、Furthermore
C、Whereas
D、Even though

答案B

解析 语篇衔接题。上文提到“黑人们能够找到的工作主要局限于家政和农耕”;本句说“自由黑人可以做的工作主要在波士顿、费城、纽约这几所城市”;显然,这两句之间是递进关系:不仅工种受限,而且连地域也受限。因此,引导递进关系的[B]Furthermore“此外,另外”为正确答案。[A]Likewise“同样地”,表示相似性的比较,与原文不符,应排除;[C]whereas“然而”,为连词,而本句要求填入副词,所以该项无论从语法上还是从意义上,都不符合要求;[D]Even though“尽管”,与原文意义不符。
