0 ^2 n' [' ]& c3 P$ j  |" ~$ Z7 F答案及解析:
1. want -%26gt; wanting
本句的谓语是designated，want….community应该是修饰citizens的定语，因此需要将动词want变成分词形式，且为主动关系，故将want改为wanting。

2. which -%26gt; where或which前加to
& \6 }  r& Z1 M9 l% A6 D/ Iwhich引导的是修饰Harlem的定语从句，从句中moved（搬家）是不及物动词，所以要在which前面加上介词to，或者将which改为where。
3 V% H9 Z; c9 G6 ^; ~* \
3. mean -%26gt; meaning
mean作名词时意为“平均数，中间，中庸”，不符合题意；而meaning意为“意义，含义”，lose its old meaning意为“失去了昔日的意义”，符合题意。
! O) g# U/ k) d5 u" y+ U" g
4. 第二个the前加that
本句中forget后面引导的是三个并列的宾语从句。在一个词引导两个或多个宾语从句时，第一句宾语从句的that可省可不省，但第二句或从第二句以后的that都不可以省略。

5. preoccupied -%26gt; occupied
这里的 hundreds没有错，in the sixteen hundreds 相当于in the 1600s。preoccupy意为“使全神贯注，使入神”， be preoccupied with意为“忙于做某事”，不符合题意；而occupy意为“居住，占用”，符合题意。

6. to -%26gt; with
. h! ~: v3 ^8 H; V2 z- Qbe synonymous with意为“与…等同，与…意义相同”。

9 ?8 I0 R: L/ }. b7. on -%26gt; by
by themselves表示“他们自己”，本句中的coin“杜撰（单词）”，结合句意可知，应该将on改为by。

8. large -%26gt; larger
even修饰的形容词要用比较级。

9. they前加that
这里是it is …that…的强调句型，该句型中的that不可以省略。
# E, `7 w$ p$ s/ a
: h) E, b/ g8 J3 S6 Z10. what -%26gt; where
% Z8 l! c0 U* G4 r5 i' {; ?( u如果用what，则最后一句的意思就成了“哈莱姆区正是他们希望成为的地方了”，不符合题意。正确的意思应该是“哈莱姆区正是他们希望居住的地方”，所以应该将what改为where。
