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(搶奪). 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(關鍵時刻)， 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(陰郁地) 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 (貧民窟)， at improving living-standards and providing education and employment for all， we would not have gone a long way to _________(65) at a solution.

參考答案：
51.A[解析]名詞country后面可以用in which表示地點，引導限定性定語從句，但不能只用which，如果要用它，應在從句的后面出現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，其他選項意思不對，因此選A.
52.D [解析]set fire to是固定短語，意思為點火；catch fire：著火，例如：Dry catches fire easily.干草容易著火，用在文中意思不對。其他選項搭配錯誤，因此正確答案是D.
53.D[解析]in favor of是固定搭配，意思：贊同。從上下文判斷，只有D最合適，表示"贊成暴力"。
54.C [解析]any other前面需要一個介詞，根據前面的as if從句，可以判斷like(像……一樣)符合題意。through：通過；as:作為。
55.A[解析】fill sb. with sth.是固定搭配，意思是"使某人充滿……"如：The room was filled with students.房子里坐滿了學生。force sb. into doing sth.強迫某人做某事。
56.A[解析]make和progress搭配表示"取得進步、進展"；用在此處意思正確。make decision：做決定；make sense：合理的，明智的，例如：It makes sense to save money while you can.趁著自己能辦到時積攢些錢是明智的。
57.B[解析]從上下文判斷，此處應該是指人類有記錄以來的歷史，因此選B.range：范圍，例如：an area with a wide range of temperature溫度變化幅度很多的地區。system：系統。
58.B [解析]從前面一句看出，violence符合題意，即我們始終認識到暴力從來就沒有解決過任何問題，卻只會使問題更加尖銳。argument：爭論；research：研究。
59.C[解析]deal和with搭配，是處理、對待的意思。want：想要；根據上下文C意思合適，mean nothing：毫無意義。
60.A [解析]整句意思是到早晨還是沒有任何解決辦法。come to light：找到，出現；come to life：使蘇醒過來；使有活力；come to an end：結束；come to decision：得出結論，所以正確答案是A.
61.D[解析]空格后緊跟一個where引導的賓語從句，四個選項中know意思符合題意，即知道解決問題的方法，其他幾個不符合題意。suggest sb.to do sth.：建議；consider as：認為，視為；demand：要求。
62.A[解析]前面的are despised，mistrusted and even persecuted屬被動語態，所以后面應該用by引出施加動作的主體，所以A正確。
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.這面旗幟象征著現代婦女的戰斗精神。final：最后的；violent：激烈的，violent acts：暴力的行為。
64.D [解析]clean up是固定搭配，清除，鏟除；句意為消除貧民區，符合題意。look up：抬頭看：get up：起床；take up sth.：著手處理，開始從事，例如：He has taken up a job as a teacher.他開始當教師了。
65.D[解析]根據本句意思，應該是不久我們就能想出解決問題的方法，arrive at a solution：拿出/想出解決辦法。laught at：嘲笑；be stratled at：對……感到吃驚。
