Members of jury have found former Minneapolis police officer guilty for the death of an African American, George Floyd. Floyd died on May 25, 2020 after the police officer held his knee against Floyd's neck or upper body for nearly nine minutes. This police officer was accused of third-degree murder and second-degree manslaughter. This trial is probably one of the most closely watched trials in recent decades, because it involves a law enforcement officer; and Floyd's death under the knee of this officer has reverberated around the world. Although, the jury members have announced that this police officer is guilty in all charges, this unfortunate incident and Floyd's last words—I cannot breathe—have been deeply ingrained in the minds of American and have incited numerous marches, and protests across the country. Responding to the result of this trial, former US president, Barack Obama, asked this thought-provoking question: "Would justice be done" after we learned about the verdict of this trail? While this verdict may have somewhat uplifted the minds of Floyd's family and is a necessary step on the road to justice, it is far from a sufficient one. According to Obama, true justice is "about much more than a single verdict in a single trial." Obama argues that we cannot override what has happened, but it's important for all citizens to recognize that millions of people of color live in fear that their next encounter with a police officer could be their last member trace. Obama maintained that all of us—in particular the people in education—have to start doing something that helps unite people of different colors and of different ethnic backgrounds. Additionally, Obama also posited that people in law and law enforcement have to follow through the concrete reforms that may incrementally eliminate racial bias in the criminal justice system and to ensure that full measure of justice that Floyd and so many others have been denied. Last but not least, policy makers have to start enacting laws that can expand the economic opportunities for those minority groups that have been too long marginalized. The above works may look trivial, thankless and difficult, but they are necessary to make the America the country US people believe in again.

What can we infer from this passage?

AThe reforms to bring justice back may not be appreciated by all people.正確答案
BRacial bias is never an issue in the criminal trials in the US.
CThe now-fired officer's conduct was reasonable, and Floyd died from illegal drug use.
DIn order to rebuild the justice system in the US, we need to depend exclusively on the reform and effort from the law enforcement.
答案與詳解
A
正確答案
短文推論題:Obama指出帶回正義的改革工作可能「吃力不討好(thankless)」,可推論並非所有人都會感激這些改革努力,選A。

為什麼答案是 A

短文末段明確指出帶回正義的改革工作(reforms)'may look trivial, thankless and difficult',其中 'thankless' 意指「不被感激的、吃力不討好的」,由此可合理推論這些改革並非所有人都會感激或欣賞,選項A與短文高度吻合。
