　　Racial Prejudice

　　In some countries where racial prejucide is acute, violence has been taken for granted as a means of solving differences; and this is not even questioned. There are countries _________(51) the white man imposes his rude by brute (粗暴) force; there are countries where the black man protests by _(52) fire to cities and by looting and pillaging(抢夺). Important people on both sides, who would in other respects appear to be reasonable men, get up and calmly argue in_________(53) of violence as if it were a legitimate (合法的) solution, _________(54) any other. What is really frightening, what really _________(55) you with despair, is the realization that when it comes to the crunch(关键时刻), we have made no actual _________(56) at all. We may wear collars and ties instead of war-paint, but our insticts remain basically unchanged. The whole of the recorded _________(57) of the human race, that tedious documentation of violence, has taught us absolutely nothing. We have still not learnt that_________(58) never solves a problem but makes it more acute. The sheer horror, the bloodshed and the suffering _________(59) nothing. No solution ever comes to _________(60) the moming after when we dismally(阴郁地) contemplate the smoking ruins and wonder what hit us.

　　The truly reasonable men who _________(61) where the solutions lie are finding it harder and harder to get a hearing. They are despised, mistrusted and even persecuted _________(62) their own kind because they advocate such apparently outrageous things as low enforcement. If half the energy that goes into _________(63) acts were put to good use, if our efforts were directed at_________(64) up the slums and ghettos (贫民窟), at improving living-standards and providing education and employment for all, we would not have gone a long way to _________(65) at a solution.

　　参考答案及解析

　　51.A[解析]名词country后面可以用in which表示地点，引导限定性定语从句，但不能只用which，如果要用它，应在从句的后面出现in，例如：This is the place in which he grew up/ which he grew up in. where和in which意思相同，其他选项意思不对，因此选A。

　　52.D [解析]set fire to是固定短语，意思为点火；catch fire：着火，例如：Dry catches fire easily.干草容易着火，用在文中意思不对。其他选项搭配错误，因此正确答案是D。

　　53.D[解析]in favor of是固定搭配，意思：赞同。从上下文判断，只有D最合适，表示"赞成暴力"。

　　54.C [解析]any other前面需要一个介词，根据前面的as if从句，可以判断like（像……一样）符合题意。through：通过；as:作为。

　　55.A[解析】fill sb. with sth.是固定搭配，意思是"使某人充满……"如：The room was filled with students.房子里坐满了学生。force sb. into doing sth.强迫某人做某事。

　　56.A[解析]make和progress搭配表示"取得进步、进展"；用在此处意思正确。make decision：做决定；make sense：合理的，明智的，例如：It makes sense to save money while you can.趁着自己能办到时积攒些钱是明智的。

　　57.B[解析]从上下文判断，此处应该是指人类有记录以来的历史，因此选B。range：范围，例如：an area with a wide range of temperature温度变化幅度很多的地区。system：系统。

　　58.B [解析]从前面一句看出，violence符合题意，即我们始终认识到暴力从来就没有解决过任何问题，却只会使问题更加尖锐。argument：争论；research：研究。

　　59.C[解析]deal和with搭配，是处理、对待的意思。want：想要；根据上下文C意思合适，mean nothing：毫无意义。

　　60.A [解析]整句意思是到早晨还是没有任何解决办法。come to light：找到，出现；come to life：使苏醒过来；使有活力；come to an end：结束；come to decision：得出结论，所以正确答案是A。

　　61.D[解析]空格后紧跟一个where引导的宾语从句，四个选项中know意思符合题意，即知道解决问题的方法，其他几个不符合题意。suggest sb.to do sth.：建议；consider as：认为，视为；demand：要求。

　　62.A[解析]前面的are despised，mistrusted and even persecuted属被动语态，所以后面应该用by引出施加动作的主体，所以A正确。

　　63.C[解析]lawful：合法的；symboilic：象征性的，例如：The flag is symbolic of the fignting of modern womanhood.这面旗帜象征着现代妇女的战斗精神。final：最后的；violent：激烈的，violent acts：暴力的行为。

　　64.D [解析]clean up是固定搭配，清除，铲除；句意为消除贫民区，符合题意。look up：抬头看：get up：起床；take up sth.：着手处理，开始从事，例如：He has taken up a job as a teacher.他开始当教师了。

　　65.D[解析]根据本句意思，应该是不久我们就能想出解决问题的方法,arrive at a solution：拿出／想出解决办法。laught at：嘲笑；be stratled at：对……感到吃惊。
