福建省龙岩市2019-2020学年高二上学期期末教学质量检查英语试题（含答案解析）

1 In recent days, Americans have lost two civil rights leaders of the twentieth

century, Dorothy Height and Benjamin Hooks.

Dorothy Height died this Tuesday at the age of ninety-eight. She witnessed more civil

rights history than any other African-American leader of her time. She said the

greatest change she witnessed was the ending of racial segregation(隔离) laws in

the United States.

She was the longtime chairwoman of the National Council of Negro Women. She was an

activist, humanitarian and advisor to presidents including Barack Obama. He

remembered her as “The godmother of the Civil Rights Movement.”

Dorothy Height grew up in Pennsylvania. She won a four-year college scholarship,

the top prize nationally in a public speaking contest on the Constitution.

She arrived at school in New York City-only to learn that an unwritten limit of “two

Negro students per year”had already been met. Dorothy Height: “I was accepted at

Barnard College and I was denied admission when I arrived because they had a quota(指标) of two. And they did not know that I was not white. And so when I got there I

was turned away.”

Dorothy Height went on to earn bachelor and master's degrees in four years at New

York University. She worked with Marin Luther King Junior in the push for civil rights

for blacks in the nineteen fifties and sixties.

Yet she had to push to make herself heard as a woman among mostly male civil rights

leaders. She was the only woman standing nearby as Martin Luther King gave his “I

Have a Dream” speech in Washington

Dorothy Height received the Presidential Medal of Freedom and the Congressional Gold

Medal for her work for racial and gender equality.

I was denied admission when I arrived because they had a quota(指标) of two. And

they did not know that I was not white. And so when I got there I was turned away.”（多萝西·海特：“我在巴纳德学院被录取了，我来的时候被拒绝录取，因为他们有两个名额。他们不知道我不是白人。所以当我到了那里，我被拒之门外。”）”可知，多萝西·海特到了巴纳德学院后因为自己是黑人而被拒绝。故选C项。

推理判断题。根据文章倒数第二段“Yet she had to push to make herself heard as a woman

2 Some students get so nervous before a test, they do poorly even if they know

the material. Sian Beilock, a psychology professor at the University of Chicago in

IIIionois, has studied these highly anxious test-takers.

Sian Beilock:"They start worrying about the consequences. They might even start worrying about whether this exam is going to prevent them from getting into the 福建省龙岩市2019-2020学年高二上学期期末教学质量检查英语试题（含答案解析）

college they want. And when we worry , it actually uses up attention and memory

resources. I talk about it as your cognitive (认知) horsepower that you could

otherwise be using to focus on the exam.

Professor Beilock and another researcher, Gerardo Ramirez, have developed a possible

solution. Just before an exam, highly anxious test-takers spend ten minutes writing

about their worries about the test.

Sian Beilock:" What we think happens is when students put it down on paper, they

think about the worst that could happen and they reassess the situation. They might

realize it's not as had as they might think it was before and, in essence, it prevents

these thoughts from popping up when they're actually taking a test."
