Reading Comprehension

试题详情

文章:

    Some historians contend that conditions in the United States during the Second World War gave rise to a dynamic wartime alliance between trade unions and the African American community, an alliance that advanced the cause of civil rights. They conclude that the postwar demise of this vital alliance constituted a lost opportunity for the civil rights movement that followed the war. Other scholars, however, have portrayed organized labor as defending all along the relatively privileged position of White workers relative to African American workers. Clearly, these two perspectives are not easily reconcilable, but the historical reality is not reducible to one or the other. Unions faced a choice between either maintaining the prewar status quo or promoting a more inclusive approach that sought for all members the right to participate in the internal affairs of unions, access to skilled and high-paying positions within the occupational hierarchy, and protection against management's arbitrary authority in the workplace. While union representatives often voiced this inclusive ideal, in practice unions far more often favored entrenched interests. The accelerating development of the civil rights movement following the Second World War exacerbated the unions' dilemma, forcing trade unionists to confront contradictions in their own practices.

选项:

A、contribution made by organized labor to the war effort during the Second World War
B、issues that union members considered most important during the Second World War
C、relationship between unions and African Americans during the Second World War
D、effect of the Second World War on the influence of unions in the workplace
E、extent to which African Americans benefited from social and political changes following the Second World War

答案:

C

提问:

错选E。第一句读出tu和aa形成alliance, 第2句这些学者又conclude一个观点(没读懂,但感觉是negtive的lost opportunity). 然后另一些学者的一个观点跟之前学者是不同的,但不知道是不容易之前学者的第一个contend,还是第2个conclude(没读懂,白人黑人好像跟alliance也无关),所以猜E。第一段没读好影响第二段也没明白作者写第二段的用意,老师可以帮过一遍文章。谢谢

提问:

题目问这两种人disagree啥,我就两种人都读了,但也没太读懂,尤其是Other scholars的观点。但感觉Other scholars的观点应该更重要。 英老师能说一下这两种人的观点各是什么吗?为什么选C?
