第三部分: 阅读理解 （共13小题; 每小题2分, 共26分）

阅读下面短文，从各题A、B、C、D 四个选项中选出最佳选项。

A

A Fighter for Justice

He was denied admission to one law school because he was black. But today that same school has a law library named after him. You may not know much about Thurgood Marshall, but he strengthened education rights for African Americans all over the USA.

Marshall was born in Baltimore in 1908. Like other African American students of his time, he went to segregated schools. These schools were not illegal. An 1896 law stated that schools for blacks and whites could be ―separate but equal.‖ But Marshall knew that most black schools were not equal. He decided to do something about it.

Marshall received a law degree from Howard University. Then he began to work at changing the country’s schools. Marshall’s strategy was to start with colleges and graduate schools, because he thought judges would sympathize with ambitious young African Americans searching for an education.

In 1935, he successfully started a legal case against the University of Maryland Law School to accept its first black student. Other cases followed, with similar results. By the 1950s, Marshall was ready to turn to grade schools and high schools. In 1954, he accepted the case of Linda Brown, who wanted to attend a white grade school near her home. As a result of Marshall’s arguments, the Supreme Court changed the law. It said that ―separate‖ schools could never be ―equal.‖

In 1967, Marshall became the first African American appointed to the U.S. Supreme Court. Until he retired in 1991, he supported many other civil rights bills.

43. This passage is basically about ________. A. Marshall’s childhood in Africa B. Marshall’s work on the Supreme Court C. Marshall’s school experience in America D. Marshall’s devotion to American education

44. The first schools that Marshall tried to change were ________. A. public elementary schools

B. public high schools D. private schools B. a law school D. famous for its library

C. colleges and graduate schools A. locally run
