3.The speaker moves to the second task by making a logical link with the first task,with the first one as “not easy\and the second as“another basic challenge”.both implying considerable degrees of difficulty.And the use of“another”indicates addition to the listing of the first.
4. The speaker brings up the last task of restructuring the whole American society by asking questions about the problems in the country.He concludes the triple evils of the society which have triggered the other problems.By retelling an analogous Bible story,he points out the only way out for the American societ y is to be born again.
5.Para 26 plays the role of a transitional paragraph.As a follow-up of the previous paragraph about the future expectation and direction,the speaker points out that there may be unavoidable setbacks and frustrations in their struggle against discrimination and persecution.Nevertheless,this arouses even firmer determination and more optimistic revolutionary spirit of the speaker,and so leads to the concluding remark of“We shall overe”.
6.Dr.King ends his speech by borrowing a civil rights song“We Shall Overe”, as the past tense and the perfect tense show the speaker's optimism and confidence.However,this optimism is not strong.By then,with the split within the rank of the Civil Rights Movement and the suppression of riots in the“long hot Summers”starting from 1965,Dr.King was less optimistic than he had been in 1963 when he delivered his famous“I Have A Dream”speech.
B.Antithesis is the setting of contrasting phrases opposite each other for emphasis.In this speech, the speaker uses a number of antitheses.Pick out 4 examples and ment on them.
1.As long as the mind is enslaved,the body can never be free.(mind vs.body:enslaved vs.free)
2.Psychological freedom, a firm sense of self-esteem,is the most powerful weapon against the long night of physical slavery.(psychological freedom vs.physical slavery)
3.Let us be dissatisfied until men and women, however black they may be, will be judged on the basis of the content of their character and not on the basis of the color of their skin.(on the basis of the content of their character vs.on the basis of the color of their skin)
4.There will be those moments when the buoyancy of hope will be transformed into the fatigue of
.一座孤零零的小山在俄克拉荷马的草原上拔地而起,它的西面和北面是维奇塔山脉。对于我们克尔瓦人来说,它是个古老的界标,我们给它取名叫雨山。这里有世界上最恶劣的天气。冬季有大暴风雪,春季就刮起了飓风,到了夏季,草原热得就像铁砧一样。草变得又脆又黄。沿着河流和小溪,是长长的绿带,有一排排的山核桃树、柳树和金缕梅。从远望去,七八月里的树叶热得冒烟,犹如在火中挣扎。高高的草地上到处都是大个儿的黄绿色的蚱蜢.像玉米花一样爆裂开,刺得人痛。乌龟在红土地上爬行,不知要去何处。寂寞荒凉是这里的一大特点。草原上的一切都是疏离开来的,所见之物不会混杂在一起让人看不清楚。要么只是一山,要么只是一树、一人。清晨,太阳在你的背后冉冉升起,此时观看大地,你会失去平时的比例感。你会张开想像的翅膀,并认定这就是上帝造设宇宙的起始点。
2.我七月回到了雨山。我祖母于春季去世,我是想去她的墓地。她活得很老,最后因虚弱而死。她死的时候,是她现在惟一活着的女儿陪伴着她。听说她死时的脸像张孩子的脸。
3.我喜欢把她看作孩子。她出生时,俄克拉荷马人正生活在其所史上鼎盛时期的最后阶段。一个多世纪以来,他们掌控着从斯莫克山河到红河那片空旷的山脉,掌控着从 __河流的源头到阿肯色河和西马隆河交汇处的地域。他们与科曼斯人一道,统治着整个南部平原。发动战争是他们神圣的职责.他们是世人所知的最优秀的骑手。然而,对于克尔瓦人来说,作战更多是因为这是他们的习惯,而非为了生存。他们从来都不理解美国骑兵残酷的进攻。当最后四分五裂、弹尽粮绝时,他们便冒着冰凉的秋雨来到斯代克特平原,陷入了恐慌。在帕罗多罗坎,他们的弹粮被抢劫一空,只剩下了性命。为了拯救自己,他们在福特西尔投降,被监禁在一个石头堆砌的牛马棚。现在,这里已经是个军事博物馆了。我的祖母得以豁免那高高的灰墙里的羞辱,因为她是在此事件8年或10年后出生的。但自出生起,她就已经懂得失败给人带来的苦难.这使那些老战士们百思不得其解。
4.她的名字叫阿荷,属_丁北美最后的文化。差不多一个世纪前,她的祖先从蒙大拿两部来到这里。他们是一群山民,一个神秘的猎手部落.其语言从未分明地划归任何一个主要语种。17世纪晚期,他们开始了漫长的向南和向东移民。这个通向黎明的漫长的旅行,使他
们达到其黄金时期。一路上,克尔瓦人被克罗人当作朋友,并给了他们平原上的文化和宗教。他们有了马,于是他们那古老的游牧精神使他们重新脱离了地面。他们拥有了太米,那神圣的太阳舞木偶,自那时起太米就成了他们的崇拜物和象征物。太米也是所有崇拜太阳的部落的崇拜物。同样重要的是,他们有着命运感,也有着勇气和荣誉感。当他们开始享受南部大平原时,他们已经被改变了。他们不再是为了简单的生活必需品的奴隶,而是一群傲慢危险的斗士和小偷、猎人和虔诚的太阳舞宗教徒。有关他们起源的神话告诉我们,他们是通过一根空心圆木来到了世上。从某种程度上说,他们的迁移是一个古老预言的结果,因为他们的确于一个没有太阳的世界。
5.虽然我的祖母在漫长的生活中从未离开过雨山,但大平原那广袤的景色却留在她的记忆中,仿佛她本人曾经在那里生活过。她能谈一些关于克罗人的事情,尽管她从未见过他们;她还知道黑山,虽然她从未去过那里。我想见识她想像当中的完美世界,于是走了1500英里,开始了我的朝圣。
6.对于我来说,黄石是世界上最好的地方。一个有许多深湖、黑木材、深峡谷和瀑布的地区。虽然黄石地区很美.但人们可能有受束缚、被禁锢的感觉。放眼望去,四周天际线近在咫尺,伸手可及。这天际线是一道树的高墙和一条条幽深的裂缝。山里有完全的自由,但
