笫二部分：阅读理解（第一节20小题，第二节5小题；每小题2分，满分50分）

第二节：下面文章中有5处（第61-65题）需要添加首句。请从以下选项(A、B、C、D、E和F)中选出适合各段落的首句。选项中有一项是多余选项。

A

In many American schools the holiday celebrating Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s birthday is used as an opportunity to teach children about his life and legacy. But in too many of those same schools, Black children’s extraordinary talents are still being wasted today. Nearly three-quarters of Black fourth and eighth grade public school students cannot read or compute at grade level. Black students made up only 18 percent of students in public schools in 2009-2010 but were 40 percent of students who received one or more out-of-school suspensions (暂被停学). A Black public school student is suspended every four seconds. Black students are more than twice as likely to drop out of school as White students. Each school day 763 Black high school students drop out.

So I applaud the U.S. Departments of Education and Justice for their recent action to address harmful school discipline policies that push so many thousands of black children out of school each year and into the juvenile (青少年) justice and adult prison pipeline. If the education system is to do its part in replacing it with a cradle to college, career and success pipeline, we must end the current practice where children in the greatest need are suspended from school mostly for nonviolent offenses.

These resources, officially known as “guidance,” will help schools and districts meet their legal responsibility to protect students from discrimination (歧视) on the basis of race, color or national origin as required under Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. As we recognize the 50th anniversary of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and so many other important hard-won victories in the Civil Rights Movement this year, we must remember those victories could be lost without meaningful enforcement of the laws advocates fought so hard to win half a century ago.

While the guidance does not prohibit (禁止) schools or districts from using any particular nondiscriminatory policy, it does call into question some policies that have historically excluded Black students and are of questionable educational value including “zero tolerance” discipline policies which require mandatory (强制的) consequences for certain infractions (违反), and policies that prevent students from returning to school after completion of a court sentence.

Information of the new guidance recommendations is available at this government website for almost every school and district in the country. Check your own school district now to see whether the discipline policy is focused on creating a positive school climate and preventing misbehavior, whether consequences are clear, appropriate and consistent, and whether there is a commitment to fairness in the application of discipline.

What does the first paragraph mainly talk about?

A. Life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

B. Unsatisfactory situation of Black students’ education.

C. The percentage of Black students dropping out of school.

D. The holiday celebrating Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s birthday.

The guidance issued by the U.S. Departments of Education and Justice may ____.

A. punish Black children for dropping out of school

B. push thousands of Black children out of school each year

C. protect Black children from being suspended for nonviolent offenses

D. prevent Black children from coming back to school after a court sentence

According to the passage, the “zero tolerance” discipline policies ____.
