问题 “To be a Negro in America is to hope against hope,” wrote Martin Luther King in the last year of his life. The advance the black man in the United States, from the position of slave to that of proud and equal citizen, is slow. The black man’s hopes have often ended in despair.“Of the good things in life he has about one-half those of whites; of the bad he has twice those of whites,” wrote Dr. King. Half of all black people lived in poor houses. They have received about half as much pay as whites. They had twice as many of their people out of work and twice as many babies dead for lack of proper care. Allowing for their numbers, twice as many black men as white fought in the war in Vietnam, and twice as many died in that war. Most black people still did work that was unpleasant and poorly paid. That was the only work they could get.

选项

答案

解析“在美国，做一个黑人就等于在无望中抱存一线希望，”马丁·路德·金在他生命的最后一年这样写道。在美国，黑人的社会地位由奴隶上升为自豪和平等的公民，这个发展历程是缓慢的。黑人的希望常常以绝望而告终。“他所拥有的生活中的幸福大约只有白人的一半；而他所经受的痛苦却是白人的两倍”马丁·路德·金博士写道。半数黑人都住在破旧的房子里，他们的工资大约是白人的一半。他们拥有两倍于白人的失业人数。因缺少适当的照顾而死亡的黑人婴儿是白人的两倍。考虑一下这些数字，两倍于白人数目的黑人男子在越南战争中作战，两倍于白人的黑人在那场战争中死亡, 大多数黑人仍然做着那些令人厌恶的低收入工作。这是他们惟一能够找到的工作。
