Question

【题目】 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 (自来水饮水器).

Those laws no longer exist, thanks to the civil rights movement (民权运动). 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 (林肯纪念堂). 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 (内容) 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 (刺杀) of Kennedy, president Johnson signed the Civil Rights Act into law. The law gave all Americans equal rights in working, voting (选举) and the use of public facilities (设施).

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.

Answer 1

【答案】

【1】bdaec。

【2】Eight years

【3】平等权利。

【4】 unfair Thanks laws speech today After signed

【解析】

本文讲述了黑人是如何和白人一样享有平等权利的过程。1963年8月28日，民权运动在华盛顿特区的一次游行中达到了高潮，这次游行吸引了大约25万人前往林肯纪念堂。在游行中，马丁·路德·金发表了著名的演讲《我有一个梦想》。游行结束后，金和其他民权领袖在白宫会见了美国总统肯尼迪和副总统约翰逊。1964年，肯尼迪遇刺后，约翰逊总统签署了民权法案，使之成为法律。自从华盛顿游行以来，50年已经过去了。已经取得了很大进展。巴拉克·奥巴马在2009年成为第一位非洲裔美国总统，他的第二任期于2016年结束。

【1】根据文章叙述顺序可知是人们在华盛顿举行了大游行，金会见了约翰·肯尼迪和约翰逊，肯尼迪遇刺身亡，约翰逊总统签署了民权法案使之成为法律，一位非洲裔美国人两次当选总统，故答案为bdaec。

【2】根据“Barack Obama became the first African—American president in 2009, and his second term ended in 2016.”可知巴拉克·奥巴马在2009年成为第一位非洲裔美国总统，他的第二任期于2016年结束。所以是8年，故答案为Eight years。

【3】根据“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设施，可推测出该词组是“平等权利”，故答案为平等权利。

【4】第一小题：根据“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 ”可法律对黑人不公平，所以第一空是“unfair”；根据“thanks to the civil rights movement”可知是感谢，所以第二空是“Thanks”；根据“People stood up and asked for a change in the laws.”可知第三空是法律，所以用“laws”。第二小题：根据“At the march, Martin Luther King J. made his famous I Have a Dream speech.”可知第一空是“演讲”，所以用“speech”；根据“Those words remain famous to this day.”可知第二空是“今天”，所以用“today”。第三小题：根据“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“签署”，所以用“signed”。故答案为unfair，Thanks，laws，speech，today，After，signed。
