2016届江苏省高考英语二轮专项突破：综合模拟练（2）

　　What makes the Trayvon Martin travesty(歪曲) of justice so painful to me，personally，is the knowledge that Trayvon’s mother loved her baby no less than I love mine.The various pictures of moments throughout a happy childhood that have now found a home on nationwide newscasts provides clear evidence of that.Yet no amount of love and care，and no words of advice could have saved her son from the cruel killing he faced at the hands of a selfappointed neighborhood watchdog.And perhaps even worse，nothing could have prepared her for the inhuman way her son has been treated by officials even in death.To think for three long days，his parents searched for him while officials failed to inform them of his fate and instead，performed drug and alcohol tests on his lifeless body，while failing to do the same for his attacker—the only one of the two who indeed had a criminal past is frankly，unforgivable.To know that the words of her son’s killer were given more weight then eyewitnesses and taped evidence of her child’s screams and eventual death must be heartbreaking.But to also have to live with the fact that his attacker still breathes free while her son lays buried underground is certainly more than any sorrowful parent should have to endure(忍受)．

　　It is this type of pain that is not unfamiliar to the Black experience in America，for this is the Black mothers’ burden.A burden we have endured for centuries.We know the pain of having our newborn babies grabbed from our loving arms to be sold into lifelong servitude(奴役) and to never again experience the warmth of a mother’s loving hug.Yet，there is still the rightful expectation，that in modernday America，the wheels of justice would not be stopped.
