(B)

Martin Luther King, Jr., is well known for his work in civil rights and for his many famous speeches, among them his moving “I Have a Dream” speech. But few people know much about King’s childhood, Martin Luther as he was called was born in 1929, in Atlanta, Georgia, at the home of his maternal grandfather. Martin Luther’s grandfather, the Reverend A.D. Williams, purchased their home on Auburn Avenue in 1909, 28 years before Martin Luther was born. The Reverend A.D. Williams, an eloquent speaker, played an important role in the community because so many people’s lives centered around the church. He allowed his church and his home to be used as a meeting place for a number of organizations dedicated to the education and social advancement of blacks. Martin Luther grew up in this atmosphere, with his home being used as community gathering place, and was no doubt influenced by it.

Martin Luther’s childhood was not especially memorable. His father was a minister and his mother was a musician. He was the second of three children, and he attended all-black schools in a black neighbourhood. The neighbourhood was not poor, however, Auburn Avenue was the main artery through a prosperous neighbourhood that he had come to symbolize achievement for Atlanta’s black people. It was area of banks, insurance companies, builders, jewelers, tailors, doctors, lawyers and other black-owned or black-operated businesses and services. Even in the face of Atlanta’s segregation (種族隔離), district thrived. Dr. King never forgot the community spirit he had known as a child, nor did he forget the racial prejudice（歧視） that was a seemingly insurmountable barrier that kept black Atlantans from mingling with whites.

68. This passage mainly gives an account of ______.

       A. the prejudice that existed in Atlanta  B. Martin Luther’s grandfather

       C. Martin Luther King’s childhood              D. the neighbourhood where King grew up

69. According to the author, King was influenced by ______.

       A. community spirit                           B. black lawyer     

C. his mother                                     D. his grandfather’s speeches

70. The word “mingling” in paragraph 2 is the closest in meaning to ______.

       A. interfering         B. consuming         C. associating         D. meeting

       B. was a good musician when he was a boy

       C. loved to listen to his grandfather speak

After his success, Dr. King used the same way in efforts to change other discriminatory laws.

In memory of his work for peaceful changes, Dr. King received the 1964 Nobel Peace Prize, but his leadership was challenged as civil rights activists became more militant.

Nine-year-old Barack Obama was looking through a magazine and he was shocked by a series of photos. The pictures were of a black man who destroyed his skin with chemicals that promised to make him white.

       For the first time, the African-American boy began to doubt who he was.

       However, now the boy who used to struggle with his identity doesn’t see it as a problem any more, but an advantage for his successful career. Last year Obama made history by being elected as the first black president of the United States. He defeated John McCain in a landslide victory.

Obama’s story starts in opposite corners of the world. His white mother was born in the heartland of the US. His black father grew up in a tiny village in Kenya. They met during college in Hawaii, but his father left the family when Obama was just two years old and his mother moved to Indonesia.

At 10, Obama moved back to live with his white grandparents in Hawaii. At his class, a white boy asked Obama if his father ate people. Out of embarrassment, Obama lied to his classmates that his father was a prince. “I kept asking who am I and I ended up trying drugs and drinking,” Obama recalled.

       Things came to change after the young men made friends with those with a similar background at college. Their experiences back in Africa helped Obama to finally face up to his African origin. He worked hard to become a star at Harvard Law School and the third black senator(參議員) in US history.

       At the beginning of his campaign for the White House, few people viewed Obama favorably. Many doubted his unusual background, which left him neither “black” enough nor “white” enough. But Obama turned his pain of growing up into a tool to make Americans believe: “There’s not a black America and a white America, a Latino American, an Asian America. There’s the United States of America.”

       Barack Obama’s victory is “a historic victory that promised change and overcame centuries prejudice. His success accomplished Martin Luther King’s dream that a man be judged not by the color of his skin, but by the content of his character”, wrote ABC news.

1. The underlined word “it” in Paragraph 3 refers to _______.

       A. who he was                           B. Obama’s successful career

       C. making him white                    D. defeating John McCain

2.According to the last paragraph of the passage, which of the following statements       is false?

A. There has been prejudice in United States of America for centuries.

B. Martin Luther King’s dream has already been realized.

C. All men are created equal, no matter he is white or he is black.

D. A man should be judged by the content of his character, not by the color of his     skin. 

3. We can learn from the passage that ________.

       A. Obama’s parents come from the same country

       B. the black man who destroyed his skin was Obama himself

       C. Obama was once troubled by his identity

       D. Africa is where Obama was born

4. Which of the following is the correct order?

       a. being elected the first black president of the US

       b. returning to live with his grandparents

       c. becoming the third black senator in US history

       d. going to college

       e. joining in the campaign for the White House

       A. b--d-c-e-a      B. e-a-b--d-c    C. a-b--e-c-d       D. c-e-d-b--a

5. The best title of the passage would be _____.

       A. The first president of the US           B. Martin Luther King’s dream

       C. A historic victory                     D. The history of African Americans
