| The Beginning of the Civil Rights Movement In 1955, bus seats for African Americans and whites were separated in parts of the U. S.. On December 1,1955, in the city of Montgomery, Alabama, a conflict, or disagreement, started when an African American woman named Rosa Parks refused to give her bus seat to a white man and go to the back of the bus. The police took 42yearold Parks to jail. The African American community was extremely angry. They had a meeting and decided to work together to protest discrimination. They agreed to boycott(抵制) the buses on the day that Parks went to court. The day was a success. Empty buses drove through the streets. The city lost money. The community decided to continue the boycott. They elected a man named Martin Luther King, Jr. to be the leader. The boycott continued. It was difficult for African Americans to get to work without buses, but they didn't stop the boycott. The city continued to lose money. Finally, the U. S. Supreme Court decided that Montgomery's bus laws were unfair and gave the African American community equal right. On December 21,1956, the bus boycott ended. The Montgomery Bus Boycott was the beginning of the Civil Rights Movement. The movement eventually led to the Civil Rights Act in 1964, a set of laws that made discrimination a crime.

| 读写任务 阅读下面的短文, 然后按照要求写一篇150词左右的英语短文。 The New Year is a holiday for many people. It is a day of leisure and celebrations. But for a lot of others it is a normal working day-they have to toil for the rest to celebrate. Many of the workers, small business/people, bus and train drivers and dispatchers work so that we can enjoy our holidays. Most of our dreams are realized on the hard work of others. Their contributions add fresh colors to society. That’s the reality of life. But society does not belong to the great and the successful alone. It belongs to those whose struggle never ceases. Their condition may not change much in the New Year. Their achievements, even their existence, may not be acknowledged. But we firmly believe they will never cease to move forward. There should be happiness in the lives of all. Therefore, we solemnly send our New Year greetings to them, to the common folks whose struggle for a better life never ceases. They are humble, but it is their joint endeavor that propels society forward. They may not share the wealth and power they so richly deserve, but their position in society can never be disputed. May they find happiness in the New Year. 【写作内容】 1. 以约30个词概括短文内容要点； 2. 然后以约120个词就“如何为社会做贡献”这个主题发表你的看法, 内容包括： (1)作为高三的学生如何服务社会； (2)以亲身经历或他人的事例说明人人都能对社会有所贡献； (3)自己对未来的设想。 【写作要求】 1. 作文中可使用自己的亲身经历或虚构的故事, 也可以参照阅读材料的内容但不得直接引用原文中的句子； 2. 文中不能出现真实姓名和学校名称。 【评分标准】 概括准确, 语言规范, 内容合适, 篇章结构连贯。 ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ |
