(B)

Friends and fellow citizens: I stand before you tonight under accusation of the unproven crime of having voted at the last presidential election, without having a lawful right to vote. It shall be my work this evening to prove to you that in thus doing, I not only committed no crime, but, instead, simply experienced my citizen’s rights, guaranteed to me and all United States citizens by the National Constitution, beyond the power of any State to deny.

Our democratic republican government is based on the idea of the natural right of every individual member to a voice and a vote in making and executing the laws. We declare the duty of government to be secure the people in the enjoyment of their unchallengeable right. We threw to the winds the belief that government can give rights.

“All men are created equal, and gifted by their Creator with certain undeniable rights. Among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. To secure these, governments are established among men, gaining their just powers from the agreement of the governed.”

Here is no shadow of government authority over rights, or exclusion of any class from their full and equal enjoyment. Here is pronounced the right of all men, and “therefore”, at the Quaker, minister said, “of all women,” to a voice in the government. And here, in this first paragraph of the Declaration, is the declaration of the natural right of all to the voter; for how can “the agreement of the governed” be given, if the right to vote be denied?

The introduction of the Federal Constitution says “We, the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice, insure domestic peacefulness, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America."

And we formed it, not to give the blessings of liberty, but to secure them; not to the half of ourselves and the half of our posterity, but to the whole people - women as well as men. And it is a downright mockery to talk to women of their enjoyment of the blessings of liberty while they are denied the use of the only means of securing them provided by this democratic-republican government - the vote

A. accuse the government of having denied treating her unfair

B. fight for the legal right to vote in the United States as a woman

C. share a recent victory on voting for the president of the States

D. guarantee that they could better understand the National Constitution

71. The expression “threw to the winds” is closest in meaning to _______.

A. abandon B. emphasize C. shake D. spread

72. Which of the following statements is true according to the speech?

A. The Quaker minister holds conflicting opinions on women’s right to vote.

B. Government authority has the right to bar some of the governed out of liberty.

C. The policy is undeniably adopted that all the governed in America have the equal rights.

D. There is no way to the real agreement of the governed if women’s vote right is rubbed.

73. It can be inferred from the speech that ________.

A. it’s more important to have liberty than have good wishes of it

B. the Federal Constitution comes from the National Constitution

C. it’s ridiculous that women enjoy liberty while their rights are not secured

D. racial and gender issues are among the major social problems of the USA.

74. Which of the following might be the best title of the speech?

A. For the Sake of Liberty and Happiness B. Vote on the Women’s Rights

C. In the Name of Equal Right to Vote D. Power of American Constitution

真相大白

70-74.BADDC

名师把脉

本篇文章讲的是SUSAN B. ANTHONY的一篇演讲稿《论女性选举权》，苏珊·宝莱·安东尼(Susan B. Anthony 1820-1906)，美国女权运动先驱。与伊丽莎白·卡迪·斯坦顿(Elizabeth Cady Stanton)同为妇女运动的领袖。本演讲思路清晰，掷地有声，作者援引宪法，肯定妇女作为公民应有选举权;又援引关于公民的权利定义，指出妇女无疑是公民。作者以无可辩驳的论证痛斥了所谓妇女参加总统选举违法的指控，充分显示了一位女权运动先驱的才华和机智。

步步为赢

第70题，文章开头提到：I stand before you tonight under accusation of the unproven crime of having voted at the last presidential election, without having a lawful right to vote.以及第一段末尾的：I not only committed no crime, but, instead, simply experienced my citizen’s rights,都显示，作者首先申明自己是无罪的，自己是行驶公民权利。再文章其他部分可得知，文章都在写作者作为一个女性，对要求选举权平等的要求。因此选B。

第71题，有第二段可知，作者在说联邦政府法律建立在人人享有自由发言权和表决权上，政府保护人人享有权利，但是事实并非如此，所以，政府能够给予权利的的这种信条被跑道九霄云外，因此选A。抛弃，放弃，B，强调，C，动摇，D,扩张。

第72题，由文章最后一篇作者一直在强调：组成这个联邦的，是我们人民，不是男性白人公民，也不是男性公民，而是我们全体人民。It was we, the people; not we, the white male citizens; nor yet we, the male citizens; but we, the whole people，可知作者认为如果妇女的选举权被剥夺，也就不存在真正的公平，自然无法达成真正的法律。选D。

第73题，A选项文中并没有提及。B选项根据文章并不能判断出来两部宪法的来源。C选项在文章中已经明确表明，并不符合“inferred”的要求。D选项正确，由文中涉及的言论（It was we, the people; not we, the white male citizens; nor yet we, the male citizens; but we, the whole people, who formed the Union.）可知，种族和性别问题是美国的主要社会问题。

第74题，根据整篇文章的大意可知，作者一直在强调自己作为女性，对政府不给于女性选举权行为的痛斥，同时据理力争，引经据典，旨在巩固自己的立场，即得到真正的选举权。因此选C。
