问题     Ironically, in the United States, a country of immigrants, prejudice and discrimination continue to be serious problems. There was often tension between each established group of immigrants and each【C1】______group. As each group became more【C2】______successful, and more powerful, they【C3】______newcomers from full participation in the society. Prejudice and discrimination are part of American history; however, this prejudicial treatment of different groups is nowhere more【C4】______than with black Americans.

Unlike most European immigrants, blacks did not have the【C6】______of a support group; sometimes slave owners separated members of the same family.

【C8】

选项

答案I

解析 此处是被动语态结构,需填动词的过去分词。在动词过去式associated(将……联系起来,与某人交往),excluded(排除),included(包括)和discriminated(歧视)三个单词中excluded与from连用,本句前面讲黑人因为肤色问题很难融合到美国社会中,此句进一步解释“即使他们获得自由后,在教育、住房和就业中仍然受到歧视”。故选项I表示“歧视”符合文意。
