Text A African Americans TEXT A Preview 非裔美国人（African-American）指美国黑人，尼格罗（negro）是拉丁语，词义为“黑色的”，在美国种族歧视猖獗时，逐渐演变成对黑人的诬衊语言，等同于“黑鬼”。黑人运动崛起后，这个单词被摒弃，黑人采用“黑色的”（black）自称。1960年代后，因为黑色在西方语言中也不是个好颜色，这个单词也被摒弃，而改为“非洲的”，因为黑人的祖先都来自非洲。16～19世纪，欧洲殖民者从非洲（主要是西非、刚果和安哥拉）劫运大批黑人奴隶到美洲，其中半数以上运入今美国境内，主要在南部诸州的棉花、甘蔗种植场和矿山当苦工，深受白人种族主义者的残酷剥削和虐待。随着美国工业的发展，南方的黑人陆续迁往北方和西北方城市。1861～1865年南北战争后，虽然从法律上废除了奴隶制度，但是黑人仍受种族歧视和压迫，美国黑人在本国历史上起过重要作用，他们积极参加美国独立战争和反法西斯战争，屡立战功。对发展美国的经济文化也作出了很大贡献，他们一直是美国农业的主要力量；在钢铁工业中黑人工人约占三分之一，在汽车工业中约占半数；在音乐、文艺、体育方面，黑人的成就更为显著。 TEXT A Reading Comprehension Error Correction: Find out the errors of each statement and correct them. 1.African Americans are the direct descendants of captive Africans who survived the slavery era within the boundaries of the present United States. 2.The popular conception of a race-based slave system fully developed as soon as the first recorded Africans arrived in British North America in 1619 as indentured servants. 3.The Civil Rights Movement between 1954 and 1968 was aimed at banning racial discrimination against American blacks, especially in the Northern United States.
