Question

【題目】 In the early 1960s, black people and white people in the US could not attend the same schools, sit next to each other on buses, or even use the same water fountains (自來水飲水器).

Those laws no longer exist, thanks to the civil rights movement (民權(quán)運動). People stood up and asked for a change in the laws.

On Aug 28, 1963, the civil rights movement reached its height with a march (游行) in Washington, D.C. It attracted around 250,000 people to the Lincoln Memorial (林肯紀念堂). At the march, Martin Luther King J. made his famous I Have a Dream speech. In it, he said: “I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content (內(nèi)容) of their character.” Those words remain famous to this day.

After the march, King and other civil rights leaders met with US President John F. Kennedy and vice—president Lyndon B. Johnson at the White House.

In 1964, following the assassination (刺殺) of Kennedy, president Johnson signed the Civil Rights Act into law. The law gave all Americans equal rights in working, voting (選舉) and the use of public facilities (設(shè)施).

Since the march in Washington, 50 years has passed. Much progress has been made. Barack Obama became the first African—American president in 2009, and his second term ended in 2016. But there is still work to be done.

【答案】

【1】bdaec。

【2】Eight years

【3】平等權(quán)利。

【4】 unfair Thanks laws speech today After signed

【解析】

本文講述了黑人是如何和白人一樣享有平等權(quán)利的過程。1963年8月28日，民權(quán)運動在華盛頓特區(qū)的一次游行中達到了高潮，這次游行吸引了大約25萬人前往林肯紀念堂。在游行中，馬丁·路德·金發(fā)表了著名的演講《我有一個夢想》。游行結(jié)束后，金和其他民權(quán)領(lǐng)袖在白宮會見了美國總統(tǒng)肯尼迪和副總統(tǒng)約翰遜。1964年，肯尼迪遇刺后，約翰遜總統(tǒng)簽署了民權(quán)法案，使之成為法律。自從華盛頓游行以來，50年已經(jīng)過去了。已經(jīng)取得了很大進展。巴拉克·奧巴馬在2009年成為第一位非洲裔美國總統(tǒng)，他的第二任期于2016年結(jié)束。

【1】根據(jù)文章敘述順序可知是人們在華盛頓舉行了大游行，金會見了約翰·肯尼迪和約翰遜，肯尼迪遇刺身亡，約翰遜總統(tǒng)簽署了民權(quán)法案使之成為法律，一位非洲裔美國人兩次當選總統(tǒng)，故答案為bdaec。

【2】根據(jù)“Barack Obama became the first African—American president in 2009, and his second term ended in 2016.”可知巴拉克·奧巴馬在2009年成為第一位非洲裔美國總統(tǒng)，他的第二任期于2016年結(jié)束。所以是8年，故答案為Eight years。

【3】根據(jù)“The law gave all Americans equal rights in working, voting and the use of public facilities”可知投票和使用公共設(shè)施，可推測出該詞組是“平等權(quán)利”，故答案為平等權(quán)利。

【4】第一小題：根據(jù)“In the early 1960s, black people and white people in the US could not attend the same schools, sit next to each other on buses, or even use the same water fountains ”可法律對黑人不公平，所以第一空是“unfair”；根據(jù)“thanks to the civil rights movement”可知是感謝，所以第二空是“Thanks”；根據(jù)“People stood up and asked for a change in the laws.”可知第三空是法律，所以用“laws”。第二小題：根據(jù)“At the march, Martin Luther King J. made his famous I Have a Dream speech.”可知第一空是“演講”，所以用“speech”；根據(jù)“Those words remain famous to this day.”可知第二空是“今天”，所以用“today”。第三小題：根據(jù)“In 1964, following the assassination of Kennedy, president Johnson signed the Civil Rights Act into law. ”可知第一空是“在……之后”，所以用“After”；第二空是“簽署”，所以用“signed”。故答案為unfair，Thanks，laws，speech，today，After，signed。
