The 1960’s witnessed two profound social movements: the civil rights movement and the movement protesting the war in Vietnam. (只需知道有两种运动：CR & VW) Although they overlapped in time(一般出现时间以及对应事件，都要在笔记里大概记下，以防考到时间顺序), they were
largely distinct. For a brief moment in 1967, however, it appeared that the two movements might unite under the leadership of Martin Luther King, Jr.（只需知道K领导两运动，下文一定为详解K与两运动的具体关系）
King’s role in the antiwar movement appears to require little explanation, since he was the foremost advocate of nonviolence of his time. But King’s stance on the Vietnam War cannot be explained in terms of pacifism alone. After all(表示此句解释前句), he was something of a latecomer to the antiwar movement, even though by 1965 he was convinced that the role of the United States in the war was indefensible. Why then the two years that passed before he translated his private misgivings into public dissent?（K态度改变，应该有考题） Perhaps he believed that he could not criticize American foreign policy without endangering the support for civil rights that he had won from the federal government.（长难句，会有考题。双重否定，则可以大致把否定去掉，再看：批评---意味着à危害到政府对他的支持）
17.According to the passage, the delay referred to in lines 12-15(画线部分) is perhaps attributable to which of the following?（自问自答，看回答部分即可：批评意味着à危害到政府对他的支持选项中有这层意思就选）
(A) King’s ambivalence concerning the role of the United States in the war in Vietnam
(B) King’s attempts to consolidate support for his leadership within the civil
rights movement
(C) King’s desire to keep the leadership of the civil rights movement distinct
from that of the antiwar movement
(D) King’s desire to draw support for the civil rights movement from the leadership of the antiwar movement
(E) King’s reluctance to jeopardize（=endangering 同义转换是ETS最喜欢的出题方式） federal support for the civil rights movement
18.The author supports the claim that “King’s stance on the Vietnam War cannot be explained in terms of pacifism alone” （和平主义不能解释K对VW的立场）by implying（我把它列为推断题） which of the following?（对于VW来说，K的立场有不同。怎么不同呢？文中在此句后则有解释：latecomer， antiwar 则选项有这两个意思即可；当然也可以用排除法，A与文意相反 B C E文中没提及）
(A) There is little evidence that King was ever a student of pacifist doctrine.
(B) King, despite pacifist sympathies, was not convinced that the policy of the federal government in Vietnam was wrong.
(C) King’s belief in nonviolence was formulated in terms of domestic policy
rather than in terms of international issues.
(D) Had King’s actions been based on pacifism alone, he would have joined the antiwar movement earlier than he actually did.（明显为he was something of a latecomer to the antiwar movement的同义改写）
(E) Opponents of United States foreign policy within the federal government
convinced King of their need for support.
19.Which of the following can be inferred from the passage about the movement opposing the war（=antiwar） in Vietnam?（快速瞟选项，有关时间，立马看笔记记下的时间顺序：CR &VW发生时间overlap部分重叠；1967 K领导 & 反VW战； 1965 K 在VW中没有明确表态）
(A) It preceded the civil rights movement.（没提及）
(B) It began in 1965.（没提及）
(C) It was supported by many who otherwise opposed public dissent.（文中根本没有otherwise）
(D) It drew support from most civil rights leaders.（文中也没有提到CR的leaders）
(E) It was well underway by 1967.（K表明了态度)
20.Which of the following best describes the passage?（先自己总结，在看选项：文中提出质疑，并进行了讨论）
(A) It discusses an apparent inconsistency and suggests a reason for it.
(B) It outlines a sequence of historical events.
(C) It shows why a commonly held view is inaccurate.
(D) It evaluates an explanation and finally accepts that explanation.
(E) It contrasts two views of an issue.
