2018年大学英语第一学期期末考试(A卷)Part II Reading Comprehension (30 %) Directions: There are four passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) andD). You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on theAnswer Sheet with a single line through the center.Passage OneScience is not a set of unquestionable results but a way of understanding the world around us. Its real work is slow. The scientific method , as many of us learned in school, is a gradual process that begins with a purpose or problem or question to be answered. It includes a list of materials, a procedure to follow, a set of observations to make and, finally, conclusions to reach. In medicine, when a new drug is proposed that might cure or control a disease, it is first tested on a large random group of people, and their reactions are then compared with those of another random group not given the drug. All reactions in both groups are carefully recorded and compared, and the drug is evaluated. All of this takes time and patience.It’s the result of course, that makes the best news—not the years of quiet work that characterize the bulk of scientific inquiry. After an experiment is concluded or an observation is made, the result continues to be examined critically. When it is submitted for publication, it goes to a group of the scientist’s colleagues, who review the work. Einstein was right when he said: “No amount of experimentation can ever prove me right, a single experiment can at any time prove me wrong.”In August 1996, NASA announced the discovery in Antarctica of a meteorite（流星）from Mars that might contain evidence of ancient life on another world. As President Clinton said that day, the possibility that life existed on Mars billions of years ago was potentially one of the great discoveries of our time.After the excitement wore down and initial papers were published, other researchers began looking at samples from the same meteorite. Some concluded that the “evidence of life”was mostly contamination from Antarctic ice or that there was nothing organic at all in the rock.Was this a failure of science, as some news reports trumpeted?No! It was a good example of the scientific method working the way it is supposed to. Scientists spend years on research, announce their findings, and these findings are examined by other scientists. That’s how we learn. Like climbing a mountain, we struggle up three feet and fall back two. It’s a process filled with disappointments and reverses, but somehow we keep moving ahead.21. The author’s main purpose in writing this passage is to state that ____________.A) most scientific discoveries are not reliableB) mass media is misleading because it looks at the research results onlyC) scientific research is a process filled with reverses and requires slow and patientworkD) repeated experiments are necessary before medicine can be used in patients22. Publication of a scientific finding signifies __________.A) a challenge to fellow scientists to prove it wrongB) the end of a processC) the beginning of a new scientific inquiryD) the soundness of the result23. Einstein’s words are used to show that he thought___________.A) experiments have proved him rightB) scientists do not need so many experimentsC) one experiment is not enough to prove him wrong.D) scientific ideas are never free from challenge24. NASA’s announcement of the discovery of evidence of ancient life on Mars shows _________.A) the way human beings learn about natureB) the failure of the scientific methodC) the fruitlessness of human search for life on another worldD) the excitement brought by scientific findings25. It can be inferred from the passage that the media is interested in __________.A) the process of scientific researchB) the results of scientific researchC) the scientists who do the researchD) the effects of scientific research on human lifePassage TwoNormally a student must attend a certain number of courses in order to graduate, and each course which he attends gives him a credit which he may count towards a degree. In many American universities the total work for a degree consists of thirty-six courses each lasting for one semester. A typical course consists of three classes per week for fifteen weeks; while attending a university a student will probably attend four or five courses during each semester. Normally a student would expect to take four years attending two semesters each year. It is possible to spread the period of work for the degree over a longer period. It is also possible for a student to move between one university and another during his degree course, though this is not in fact done as a regular practice.For every course that he follows a student is given a grade, which is recorded, and the recordis available for the student to show to prospective employers. All this imposes a constant pressure and strain of work, but in spite of this some students still find time for great activity in student affairs. Elections to positions in student organizations arouse much enthusiasm. The effective work of maintaining discipline is usually performed by students who advise the academic authorities. Any student who is thought to have broken the rules, for example, by cheating has to appear before a student court. With the enormous numbers of students, the operation of the system does involve a certain amount of activity. A student who has held one of these positions of authority is much respected and it will be of benefit to him later in his career.26. Normally a student would at least attend __________classes each week.A) 36B) 12C) 20D) 1527. According to the first paragraph an American student is allowed _______.A) to live in a different universityB) to take a particular course in a different universityC) to live at home and drive to classesD) to get two degrees from two different universities28. American university students are usually under pressure of work because_________.A) their academic performance will affect their future careersB) they are heavily involved in student affairsC) they have to observe university disciplineD) they want to run for positions of authority29.Some students are enthusiastic for positions in student organizations probablybecause_________.A) they hate the constant pressure and strain of their studyB) they will then be able to stay longer in the universityC) such positions help them get better jobsD) such positions are usually well paid30. The student organizations seem to be effective in _________.A) dealing with the academic affairs of the universityB) ensuring that the students observe university regulationsC) evaluating students’ performance by bringi ng them before a courtD) keeping up the students’ enthusiasm for social activitiesPassage ThreeDoreen Sykora is now a junior at Mcgill University. She had a difficult time when she first began college. She said, “I was always well prepared for my examinations. But I would go in to class to take the exam, and I would fall apart. I could not answer the questions correctly-----eventhough I knew the answers! I would just blank out because of nervousness and fear.”Hitoshi Sakamoto, an anthropology student at Temple University in Tokyo reports similar experiences.These two young students were experiencing something called test anxiety. Because a student worries and is stressed about a test, his or her mind does not work as well as it usually does. The student cannot write or think clearly because of the severe tension and nervousness.Now there are special university courses to help students. In these courses, advisors and psychologists try to help students by teaching them to manage test anxiety. Such a course helps students learn to live with stress and not fail because of it. First students take a practice test to measure their worry level. If the tests show that their stress level is high, the students can take a short course to manage the fear. These courses teach students how to relax their bodies. They get training to become calm in very tense situations. By controlling their nervousness, they can let their minds work more easily. Learned information then comes out without difficulty on a test.Doreen Sykora saw immediate results after taking such a course. She now has enthusiasm about the relaxation methods. “Mostly, what I do is imagine myself in a very calm place. Then I imagine myself picking up a pencil. I move slowly and carefully. I breathe easily and let all the tension out. With each breath, more worry leaves me. It really works too. My grades have improved greatly! I’m really doing well at McGill now. This relaxation method works not only on examinations, but it has improved the rest of my life as well.”For Hitoshi in Tokyo, the results were much the same. He is enjoying school a lot more and learning more.31. Doreen Sykora and Hitoshi Sakamoto were filled with nervousness and fear duringexaminations because they were__________.A) not ready and unaware of the answersB) physically so weak that they fell apartC) subject to test anxietyD) unable to write or think clearly32. The higher the students’ worry level is, __________.A) the less calm and relaxing they areB) the more difficult they will be trained to manage fearC) the more stressed and tense they areD) the longer courses they will take to manage fear33. What’s the purpose of some special university student-help courses?A) To help students to reduce test anxiety.B) To show a stress level experienced by students.C) To learn more knowledge about test anxiety.D) To have a better understanding of test anxiety.34. What’s the meaning of “blank out” in paragraph one?A) To be like a blanket.B) To be sure of an answer.C) To be relaxed.D) To be unable to think clearly.35.Which of the following best sums up the organization of the passage?A) Examples----theories----ideas.B) Problem----strategy----examples----results.C) General statement----examples----result.D) Strategy----experiment----examples.Part III Vocabulary and Structure (15 %) Directions: There are 30 incomplete sentences in this part.

How can regular exercise improve physical health?Regular exercise can improve physical health by strengthening muscles and bones, increasing cardiovascular fitness, and reducing the risk of chronic diseases.4. How does exercise contribute to mental well-being?Exercise can contribute to mental well-being by reducing stress and anxiety, improving mood, and boosting self-confidence.5.

It offers numerous physical, mental, and social benefits that contribute to an overall sense of well-being. In this essay, we will explore the importance of regular exercise and its positive impact on our lives.Firstly, regular exercise plays a vital role in improving our physical health. Engaging in physical activities such as running, swimming, or cycling helps to strengthen our muscles and bones. It also enhances cardiovascular fitness, leading to a reduced risk of heart diseases and other chronic conditions. Furthermore, exercise promotes weight management and helps to prevent obesity, a growing problem in modern society.In addition to physical health, exercise greatly contributes to our mental well-being. Engaging in exercise releases endorphins, often referred to as the "feel-good" hormones, which elevate our mood and reduce stress and anxiety. Regular exercise can also alleviate symptoms of depression and improve overall cognitive function. It provides an opportunity for self-reflection and relaxation, acting as a positive outlet for coping with life's challenges.Furthermore, exercise offers a platform for social interaction, which is crucial for our overall well-being. Participating in group activities, such as team sports or fitness classes, allows us to connect with others who share similar interests. These social interactions foster a sense of belonging and camaraderie, reducing feelings of loneliness and isolation. Moreover,exercise can serve as a bonding activity among friends, family members, or colleagues, leading to stronger relationships and increased social support.To conclude, regular exercise is essential for a healthy and fulfilling life. It not only improves physical health and fitness but also enhances mental well-being and fosters social connections. Incorporating exercise into our daily routines should be a priority for everyone, regardless of age or fitness level. So, let's make a commitment to prioritize our health and embrace regular exercise for a happier and healthier future.。

In some parts of the world there are “fire mountains”， which we call volcan oes. From time to time they burst open and throw out fire and burning ashes. These volcanoes are very dangerous.Hong Kong does not have any volcanoes but there are many volcanoes in Indonesia and Philippines. There is also a famous mountain near Tokyo, Japan, which is a volcano too. I ts name is Mount Fuji. For much of the year，it is covered with snow.One of the most famous volcanoes which erupted in rec ent times was Krakatoa, on an island in Indonesia. The first e xplosions took place on 20th May, 1883, but the biggest erupti on did not come until the 26th and 27th August of that year. T he people on the island were used to the explosions by that ti me, and so they were completely unprepared for this terrible h appening. Almost all the people on the island died and the explosion also made huge waves in the sea, which drowned (淹死) many people on the other island nearby. After the eruption was over，people saw that the whole northern part of the island had com pletely disappeared. Scientists say that 15 cubic (立方) kilometres of rocks and ash were thrown up in the explosi on. The noise of the explosion was heard nearly 5,000 kilomet res away in the middle of the Indian Ocean，and the city of Jakarta was completely dark for about two anda half hours.21.

Its first use was as a shade a gainst the sun.Nobody knows who first invented it, but the umbrella was use d in very ancient times. Probably the first to use it were the Ch inese, way back in the eleventh century B.C..We know that the umbrella was also used in ancient Egypt an d Babylon as a sunshade. And there was a strange thing connected with its use: it became a symbol of honor and power. I n the Far East in ancient times, the umbrella was allowed to b e used only by those in high office or by royal people such as the kings or queens.In Europe, the Greeks were the first to use the umbrella as a sunshade. And the umbrella was in common use in ancient G reece. But it is believed that the first persons in Europe to use the umbrellas as protection against the rain were the ancient Romans. During the middle ages in Europe, the use of the um brella most disappeared. Then it appeared again in Italy in the late sixteenth century. And again it became a symbol of powe r.Umbrellas have not changed much in style during all this time, though they have become much lighter in weight. It wasn't un til the twentieth century that the umbrellas for women began t o be made in all kinds of colors.28.Ancient people first used umbrellas as ______.A. a symbol of honorB. a symbol of powerC. protection against the sunD. protection against the rain29.According to the passage, the umbrella was probably first used in ancient__________.A.

In America,many marginally competent or flatly incompetent whites are hired every day—some because their white skin suits the conscious or unconscious racial preference of their employers.The white children of alumni are often grandfathered into elite universities inwhat can only be seen as a residual benefit of historic white privilege.Worse,white incompetence is always an individual matter,but for blacks it is often confirmation of ugly stereotypes.Given that unfairness cuts both ways, doesn’t it only balance the scales of history,doesn’t this repay,in a small way,the systematic denial under which my children’s grandfather lived out his days?In theory,affirmative action certainly has all the moral symmetry that fairness requires—the injustice of historical and even contemporary white advantage is offset (补偿)with black advantage;preference replaces prejudice,inclusion(1)answers exclusion.It is reformist and corrective,even repentant and redemptive (忏悔与救赎的).And I would never sneer at these good intentions.Born in the late forties in Chicago,I started my education(a charitable term in this case)in a segregated(种族隔离的)school and suffered all the indignities that come to blacks in a segregated society. My father,born in the South,made it only to the third grade before the white man’s fields took permanent priority(永久性优先)over his formal education.And though he educated himself into an advanced reader withan almost professorial authority,he could only drive a truck for a living,and never earned more than$90a week in his entire life.So yes,it is crucial to my sense of citizenship,to my ability to identify with the spirit and the interests of America,to know that this country, however imperfectly,recognizes its past sins and wishes to correct them.Yet good intentions can blind us to the effects they generate when implemented.In our society affirmative action is,among other things,a(2)testament to white goodwill and to black power,and in the midst of these heavy investments its effects can be hard to see.But after twenty years of implementation I think that affirmative action has shown itself to be more bad than good and that blacks—whom I will focus on in this essay—now stand to lose more from it than they gain.In talking with affirmative action administrators and with blacks and whites in general,I found that supporters of affirmative action focus on its good intentions while detractors(反对者)emphasize its negative effects. Proponents talk about“diversity”and“pluralism”; opponents speak of(3)“reverse discrimination”,theunfairness of quotas(指标)and set-asides(保留名额).[1] It was virtually impossible to find people outside either camp.The closest I came was a white male manager at a large computer①Affirmative action is the policy of favoring members ofa disadvantaged group who suffer or have suffered from discrimination within a culture.平权运动，扶持政策354045505560657075company who said,“I think it amounts to reverse discrimination,but I’ll put up with a little of that for a little more diversity.”I’ll live with a little of the effect to gain a little of the intention,he seemed to be saying.But this only makes him a halfhearted supporter of affirmative action.I think many people who don’t really like affirmative action support it to one degree or another anyway.I believe they do this because of what happened to white and black Americans in the crucible(坩埚)of the sixties, when whites were confronted with their racial guilt and blacks tasted their first real power.In that stormy time white absolution and black power coalesced into virtual mandates(命令)for society.Affirmative action became a meeting ground for those mandates in the law,and in thelate sixties and early seventies it underwent a remarkable escalation of its mission from simple anti-discrimination enforcement to(4)social engineering by means of quotas, goals,timetables,set-asides and other forms of preferential treatment.Legally,this was achieved through a series of executive orders and EEOC②guidelines that allowed racial imbalances in the workplace to stand as proof of racial discrimination.Once it could be assumed that discrimination explained racial imbalances,[2]it became easy to justify group remedies to presumed discrimination rather than the normal case-by-case redress for proven discrimination.Preferential treatment through quotas, goals,and so on is designed to correct imbalances based on the assumption that they always indicate discrimination. This expansion of what constitutes discrimination allowed affirmative action to escalate into the business of social engineering in the name of anti-discrimination,to push society toward statistically proportionate racial representation,without any obligation of proving actual discrimination.What accounted for this shift,I believe,was the whitemandate to achieve a new racial innocence and the black mandate to gain power.Even though blacks had made great advances during the sixties without quotas,these mandates, which(5)came to a head in the very late sixties,could no longer be satisfied by anything less than racial preferences.I don’t think these mandates in themselves were wrong,because whites clearly needed to do better by blacks and blacks needed more real power in society.But, as they came together in affirmative action,their effect was to distort(变形)our understanding of racial discrimination in a way that allowed us to offer the remediation of preference on the basis of mere color rather than actual injury.[3]By making black the color of preference,these mandates have reburdened society with the very marriage of color and preference(in reverse)that we set out to eradicate.The old sin is reaffirmed in a new guise.But the essential problems with this form of affirmative action is the way it leaps over the hard business of developing a formerly oppressed people to the point where they can achieve proportionate representation on their own (given equal opportunity)and goes straight for theproportionate representation,this may satisfy some whites of their innocence and some blacks of their power, but it does very little to truly uplift blacks.A white female affirmative action officer at an Ivy League university told me what many supporters of affirmative action now say:“We’re after diversity.We ideally want a student body where racial and ethnic groups are represented according to their proportion in society.”When affirmative action escalated into social engineering, diversity became a golden word.It grants whites an egalitarian fairness(innocence)and blacks an entitlement to proportionate representation (power).Diversity is a term that applies democratic principles to races and cultures rather than to citizens, despite the fact that there is nothing to indicate that real diversity is the same thing as proportionate representation.Too often the result of this,on campuses (for example)has been a democracy of colors rather than of people,an artificial diversity that gives the appearance of an educational parity between black and white students that has not yet been achieved in reality. Here again,racial preferences allow society to leapfrogover the difficult problem of developing blacks to parity with whites and into a cosmetic diversity that(6)covers the blemish of disparity—a full six years after admission, only26percent of blacks graduate from college.②Equal Employment Opportunity Commission均等就业机会委员会80859095100105110115120125Racial representation is not the same thing as racial development,yet affirmative action fosters a confusion of these very different needs.Representation can be manufactured;development is always hard-earned.[4] However,it is the music of innocence and power that we hear in affirmative action that causes us to cling to it and to its distracting emphasis on representation.The fact is that after twenty years of racial preferences the gap between white and black median income is greater than it was in the seventies.None of this is to say that blacks don’t need policies that insure our right to equal opportunity,but what we need more of is the development that will let us take advantage of society’s efforts to include us.I think one of the most troubling effects of racialpreferences for blacks is a kind of demoralization,or put another way,an enlargement of self-doubt.Under affirmative action,the quality that earns us preferential treatment is an implied inferiority.However this inferiority is explained—and it is easily enough explained by the myriad deprivations that grew out of our oppression—it is still inferiority.There are explanations,and then there is the fact.And the fact must be borne by the individual as a condition apart from the explanation,apart even from the fact that others like himself also bear this condition.In integrated situations in which blacks must compete with whites who may be better prepared,these explanations may quickly(7)wear thin and expose the individual to racial as well as personal self-doubt.All of this is compounded by the cultural myth of black inferiority that blacks have always lived with. What this means in practical terms is that[5]when blacks deliver themselves into integrated situations,they encounter a nasty little reflex in whites,a mindless, atavistic reflex that responds to the color black with alarm.Attributions may follow this alarm if the white cares to indulge them,and if they do,they will most likelybe negative—one such attribution is intellectual ineptness.I think this reflex and the attributions that may follow it embarrass most whites today,therefore,it is usually quickly repressed.Nevertheless,on an equally atavistic level,the black will be aware of the reflex his color triggers and will feel a(8)stab of horror at seeing himself reflected in this way.He,too,will do a quick repression,but a lifetime of such stabbings is what constitutes his inner realm of racial doubt.The effects of this may be a subject for another essay. The point here is that the implication of inferiority that racial preferences engender in both the white and black mind expands rather than contracts this doubt.Even when the black sees no implication of inferiority in racial preferences,he knows that whites do,so that—consciously or unconsciously—the result is virtually the same.The effect of preferential treatment—the lowering of normal standards to increase black representation—puts blacks at war with an expanded realm of debilitating doubt,so that the doubt itself becomes an unrecognized preoccupation that undermines their ability to perform, especially in integrated situations.On largely whitecampuses,blacks are five times more likely to drop out than whites.Preferential treatment,no matter how it is justified in the light of day,subjects blacks to a midnight of self-doubt,and so often transforms their advantage into a revolving door.Another liability of affirmative action comes from the fact that it indirectly encourages blacks to exploit their own past victimization as a source of power and privilege. Victimization,like implied inferiority,is what justifies preference,so that to receive the benefits of preferential treatment one must,to some extent,become (9)invested in the view of one’s self as a victim.In this way,affirmative action nurtures a victim-focused identity in blacks.The obvious irony here is that we have become inadvertently invested in the very condition we are trying to overcome.[6]Racial preferences send us the message that there is more power in our past suffering than in our present achievements—none of which could bring us a preference over others.When power itself grows out of suffering,blacks are encouraged to expand the boundaries of what qualifies as racial oppression,a situation that can lead us to paintour victimization in vivid colors,even as we receive the benefits of preference.The same corporations and institutions that give us preference are also seen as our oppressors.At Stanford University,minority students—some of whom enjoy as much as$15,000a year in financial aid—recently took over the president’s office demanding, among other things,more financial aid.The power to be found in victimization,like any power,is intoxicating and130135140145150155160165170175can lend itself to the creation of a new class of super-victims who can feel the pea of victimization under twenty mattresses.[7] Preferential treatment rewards us for being underdogs rather than for moving beyond that status—a misplacement of incentives that,along with its deepening of our doubt, is more a yoke than a spur.But,I think,one of the worst prices that blacks pay for preference has to do with an illusion.I saw this illusion at work recently in the mother of a middle-class black student who was going off to his first semester of college.“They owe us this,so don’t think for a minute that you don’t belong there.”This is the logic by which many blacks,and some whites,justify affirmative action—it is something“owed,”a form of reparation.But this logic overlooks a much harder and less digestible reality,that it is impossible to repay blacks living today for the historic suffering of the race.If all blacks were given a million dollars tomorrow it would not amount to a dime on the dollar for three centuries of oppression,nor would it dissolve the residues of that oppression that we still carry today.The concept of historic reparation grows out of man’s need to impose on the world a degree of justice that simply does not exist.Suffering can be endured and overcome,it cannot be repaid.Blacks cannot be repaid for the injustice done to the race,but we can be corrupted by society’s guilty gestures of repayment.Affirmative action is such a gesture.It tells us that racial preferences can do for us what we cannot do for ourselves.The corruption here is in the hidden incentive not to do what we believe preferences will do.This is an incentive to be reliant on others just as we are struggling for self-reliance.And it keeps alive the illusion that we can find some deliverance in repayment.[8]The hardest thing for any sufferer to accept is that his sufferingexcuses him from very little and never has enough currency to restore him.To think otherwise is to prolong the suffering.Several blacks I spoke with said they were still in favor of affirmative action because of the“subtle”discrimination blacks were subject to once on the job.One photojournalist said,“They have ways of ignoring you.”A black female television producer said,“You can’t file a lawsuit when your boss doesn’t invite you to the insider meetings without ruining your career.So we still need affirmative action.”Others mentioned the infamous “glass ceiling”through which blacks can see the top positions of authority but never reach them.But I don’t think racial preferences are a protection against this subtle discrimination;I think they contribute to it.In any workplace,racial preferences will always create two-tiered populations composed of preferreds and unpreferreds.This division makes automatic a perception of enhanced competence for the unpreferreds and of questionable competence for the preferreds—the former earned his way,even though others were given preference,while the latter made it by color as much as by preference. Racial preferences implicitly mark whites with an exaggerated superiority just as they mark blacks with an exaggerated inferiority.They not only reinforce America’s oldest racial myth but,for blacks,they have the effect of stigmatizing the already stigmatized.I think that much of the“subtle”discrimination that blacks talk about is often(not always)discrimination against the stigma of questionable competence that affirmative action delivers to blacks.In this sense, preferences scapegoat the very people they seek to help. And it may be that at a certain level employers impose a glass ceiling,but this may not be against the race so much as against the race’s reputation for having advanced by color as much as by competence.Affirmative action makes a glass ceiling virtually necessary as a protection against the corruptions of preferential treatment.This ceiling is the point at which corporations shift the emphasis from color to competency and stop playing the affirmative action game.Here preference backfires for blacks and becomes a taint that holds them back.Of course, one could argue that this taint,which is,after all,inthe minds of whites,becomes nothing more than an excuse to discriminate against blacks.And certainly the result is the same in either case—blacks don’t get past the glass ceiling.But this argument does not get around the fact that racial preferences now taint this color with a new theme of suspicion that makes blacks even more vulnerable to discrimination.In this crucial yet gray area of perceived competence,preferences make whites look better than they are and blacks worse,while doing nothing whatever to stop the very real discrimination 180185190195200205210215220that blacks may encounter.I don’t wish to justify the glass ceiling here,but only to suggest the very subtle ways that affirmative action revives rather than extinguishes the old rationalizations for racial discrimination.In education,a revolving door;in employment,a glass ceiling.I believe affirmative action is problematic in our society because it tries to function like a social program.Rather than ask it to ensure equal opportunity we have demanded that it create parity between the races.But preferential treatment does not teach skills,or educate,or instillmotivation.It only passes out entitlement by color,a situation that in my profession has created an unrealistically high demand for black professors.The social engineer’s assumption is that this high demand will inspire more blacks to earn Ph.D.’s and join the profession. In fact,the number of blacks earning Ph.D.’s has declined in recent years.A Ph.D.must be developed from preschool on.He requires family and community support.He must acquire an entire system of values that enables him to work hard while delaying gratification.There are social programs,I believe,that can(and should)help blacks develop in all these areas,but entitlement by color is not a social program;it is a dubious reward for being black.It now seems clear that the Supreme Court,in a series of recent decisions,is moving away from racial preferences. It has disallowed preferences except in instances of “identified discrimination,”eroded the precedent that statistical racial imbalances are prima facie(乍一看上去的)evidence of discrimination,and,in effect,granted white males the right to challenge consent degrees that use preference to achieve racial balances in the workplace.One civil rights leader said,“Night has fallen on civil rights.”But I am not so sure.The effect of these decisions is to protect the constitutional rights of everyone,rather than to take rights away from blacks.What they do take away from blacks is the special entitlement to more rights than others that preferences must always grant.Night has fallen on racial preferences,not on the fundamental rights of black Americans.The reason for this shift,I believe,is that the white mandate for absolution from past racial sins has weakened considerably in the eighties.Whites are now less willing to endure unfairness to themselves in order to grant special entitlements to blacks,even when those entitlements are justified in the name of past suffering.Yet the black mandate for more power in society has remained unchanged.And I think part of the anxiety many blacks feel over these decisions has to do with the loss of black power that they may signal. We had won a certain specialness and now we are losing it. But the power we’ve lost by these decisions is really only the power that grows out of our victimization—the power to claim special entitlements under the law because of past oppression.This is not a very substantial or reliablepower,and it is important that we know this so we can focus more exclusively on the kind of development that will bring enduring power.There is talk now that Congress may pass new legislation to compensate for these new limits on affirmative action.If this happens,I hope the focus will be on development and anti-discrimination,rather than entitlement,on achieving racial parity rather than(10) jerry-building racial diversity.I would also like to see affirmative action go back to its original purpose of enforcing equal opportunity—a purpose that in itself disallows racial preferences.We cannot be sure that the discriminatory impulse in America has yet been ashamed into extinction,and I believe affirmative action can make its greatest contribution by providing a rigorous vigilance in this area.I can guard constitutional rather than racial rights,and help institutions evolve standards of merit and selection that are appropriate to the institution’s needs yet as free of racial bias as possible(again,with the understanding that racial imbalances are not always an indication of racial bias).One of the more important things affirmative action can do is to define exactly what racialdiscrimination is and how it might manifest itself within a specific institution.The impulse to discriminate is subtle and cannot be ferretted out unless its guises are made clear to people.Along with this there should be monitoring of institutions and heavy sanctions brought to bear when actual discrimination is found.This is the sort of affirmative action that America owes to blacks and itself.It goes after the evil of discrimination itself, while preferences only sidestep the evil and grant entitlement to its presumed victims.225230The mandates of black power and white absolution out of which preferences emerged were not wrong in themselves. What was wrong was that both races focused more on the goals of those mandates than on the means to the goals.Blacks can have no real power without taking responsibility for their own educational and economic development.Whites can have no racial innocence without earning it by eradicating discrimination and helping the disadvantaged to develop. Because we ignored the means,the goals have not been reached,and the real work remains to be done.
