长难句解析
①【解析】此句的关键在于理清“to students of all racial and ethnic backgrounds”是用来修饰限定“The opening up”的。
【译文】实行种族隔离的院校对不同种族和信仰背景的学生的接纳,是受到歧视的有色人种在法庭上,街道上和校园内展开的各种形式的长期斗争的结果。
②【解析】此句中“that”引导定语从句,修饰“historically black institutions”,“when” 作定语从句中的时间状语从句。
【译文】但是高等教育种族制度的废除,却给传统的黑人院校制造了新的麻烦,这些院校历史上曾在困境中为给被白人院校阻止在外的黑人提供更好的教育机会而奋斗不止。
答案与详解
【短文大意】本文主要介绍了美国高等院校中的一项改革——种族隔离制度的废除,这项改革给黑人和白人学生都带来了更多的受教育的机会。
1。D主旨题。文章主题思想是在美国的高等院校中的一项改革——种族隔离的废除,这项改革给黑人和白人学生都带来了更多的受教育的机会。A、B、C都是文中提到的内容,但不是中心的内容。
2。B细节题。文章的第一段指出,原先实行种族隔离的高等院校对各个种族学生的开放是受到歧视的有色人种经过在法庭、街道和校园里长期斗争之后的结果。并不是因为入学人数的增加。
3。A推断题。在这样的题型中,有可能A、B、C、D四个选项都是对的,但是有一个不符合因果的联系。在本题中,A是应选的。因为虽然黑人学生在美国的研究生院和特种职业培训的高等院校中受到明显的歧视是个事实,但是它并不是开放高等院校的结果。
4。D细节题。文中曾指明黑人取得博士学位的比率极低,而且大部分是教育学博士。
5。A细节题。在高等院校全部开放以后,传统的黑人院校不再以黑人学生为主。C是错误的。因为尽管传统的黑人院校曾经在历史上培养了不少优秀人才,但是在开放政策实行以后,它们也面临着很多困难,所以谈不上取得了很大的进展。
第一篇 人文篇Passage 12
Passage 12建议用时:8。5分钟From:To:
Indonesia has defended its bloody crackdown on protesters seeking higher compensation for land on Bintan Island; where Singaporeans hold the lion’s share of investments; reports said yesterday。 “I am very sad by the turn of events;” the head of the Bintan District Assembly; Mr Huzrin Hood; was quoted as saying in Singapore’s Straits Times daily。 “But if nothing was done; there will be problems for Bintan in the long run。”
Bintan; about 50 kilometers east of Singapore; is a popular weekend resort for Singaporeans; who also hold the majority of the S1。35 billion (1。23 billion) in investments there。 In a pre…dawn operation on Sunday; Indonesian troops moved in to quell nearly a week of protests outside the Bintan Beach International Resort by about 200 disgruntled villagers。 At least 13 people were injured; four of them seriously; and more than 70 people arrested in the 45…minute operation; according to the Straits Times。 Three of the injured were said to have gunshot wounds in the chest and stomach。 The report said the arrested were blindfolded and tied up before being put into a speedboat and brought to a police station in Tanjung Pinang; south of Bintan island。 Eight of 12 student leaders fighting for the villagers’ rights were also held in the operation。
The villagers had set up a blockade and camped at a road leading to the Bintan Beach International Resort; demanding additional compensation for the land they sold for the resort and an industrial estate managed by a unit of Singapore conglomerate SembCorp Industries Ltd。 Armed with knives and spears; they had last week seized a power plant of the Bintan Industrial Estate; severing electricity and water supply to the 27 factories there。 They left the plant after being given assurances their demands would be looked into。
Indonesia’s President Abdurrahman Wahid had cancelled at the last minute a planned meeting yesterday with representatives of the protesters; who declined to relent。 Singapore’s Prime Minister; Mr。 Goh Chok Tong; also expressed regret over the protests and appealed to Indonesia to protect foreign investors in Bintan。 『Mr。 Hood said the Indonesian Government had no choice but to act; because the villagers kept on rejecting its proposals for an end to the blockade。』① He would go to Jakarta this week to meet senior central Government officials to help resolve the problems faced by the villagers; he said。 “There are many of them still out there; and if they are still unhappy they can cause problems for Bintan in the future。”
