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.

【C9】

选项

答案O

解析 从语法结构来说,本句已经有了谓语,空格处只能填动词的-ing形式或者名词。在选项中已经没有动词的一ing形式,即使有也不能与后面的to搭配,故此处考虑用名词。前一句讲20世纪前,大部分黑人住在美国南部,随后一些黑人迁移到美国北部,故此处讲人口迁移,在备选名词中,只有shift表示“迁移,转移和变化”。
