标题: 阅读区加油!! 大家一起来讨论阅读之GWD 9-21

嗯 有点激动 因为阅读区回复率比较低


Q21 to Q23:
In the 1930’s and 1940’s,
African American industrial
workers in the southern United
Line States, who constituted 80 per-
(5) cent of the unskilled factory labor
force there, strongly supported
unionization. While the American
Federation of Labor (AFL) either
excluded African Americans or
(10) maintained racially segregated
unions, the Congress of Industrial
Organizations (CIO) organized
integrated unions nationwide on the
basis of a stated policy of equal
(15) rights for all, and African American
unionists provided the CIO’s back-
bone. Yet it can be argued that
through contracts negotiated and
enforced by White union mem-
(20) bers, unions—CIO unions not
excluded—were often instrumen-
tal in maintaining the occupational
segregation and other forms of
racial discrimination that kept
(25) African Americans socially and
economically oppressed during
this period. However, recognizing
employers’ power over workers
as a central factor in African
(30) Americans’ economic marginal-
ization, African American workers
saw the need to join with White
workers in seeking change despite
White unionists’ toleration of or
(35) support for racial discrimination.
The persistent efforts of African
American unionists eventually paid
off: many became highly effective
organizers, gaining the respect of
(40) even racist White unionists by win-
ning victories for White as well as
African American workers. African
American unionists thus succeeded
in strengthening the unions while
(45) using them as instruments of
African Americans’ economic
empowerment.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Q21:
The passage is primarily concerned with
A. demonstrating that unions failed to address the concerns of African American
workers during a particular period
B. arguing that African American workers’ participation in unions during a particular
period was ultimately beneficial to them
C. contrasting the treatment of African American workers by two different labor
organizations during a particular period
D. giving reasons for the success of African American unionists in winning victories
for both African American and White workers during a particular period
E. questioning one explanation for the attitudes of African American workers toward
unionization during a particular period
Answer:


答案是B beneficial to them 这里them应该是unions 但是并不觉得文中African American workers’ participation 有ultimately beneficial to unions的意思啊?


我选D  问一下大家意见


谢谢  阅读区加油!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

them 是指的African American workers.

因为原文多提到union,social地位,economic状况的关系,所以是African American workers通过union得到地位和经济的benefit

However, recognizing
employers’ power over workers
as a central factor in African
(30) Americans’ economic marginal-
ization,

The persistent efforts of African
American unionists eventually paid
off
: many became highly effective
organizers, gaining the respect of
(40) even racist White unionists by win-
ning victories for White as well as
African American workers. African
American unionists thus succeeded
in strengthening the unions while
(45) using them as instruments of
African Americans’
economic
empowerment
.

而D选项谈到的reasons并不是文章的主旨,整篇都是在讲African American union的过程和意义。

嗯 谢谢你的回答  


但是 我再看了一遍  还是觉得D比较好 理由有下


them 是指的African American workers  

如果这是真的  那我更支持选D  因为原文的意思是beneficial 两边white and african american workers


下面这句可以看出来


The persistent efforts of African American unionists eventually paid
off: many became highly effective organizers, gaining the respect of
even racist White unionists by winning victories for White as well as
African American workers.


而D指出了这点D. giving reasons for the success of African American unionists in winning victories for both African American and White workers during a particular period


但是我觉得这里them是指union  虽然这里不是语法 但是我们知道阅读的句子通常也是非常严谨 语法有个规则 them 不指代所有格的名词 所以我认为这里是指代unions


2.我还是觉得was ultimately beneficial 这个untimately太绝对了 文中我找不出句子可以支持我选B 选B的可以举几个例子吗?



整篇都是在讲African American union的过程和意义。


3 你这句 我倒是挺认同  


如果有个选项 说是在叙述过程和意义 我一定选那个  但是没有


所以我觉得 D比B好


一点愚见   请指教   谢谢!!!

感觉D有点儿以偏概全,只表达了line 27 - line 47的意思,未能涵盖前面的27行;

表达reason的只有这样一句话:

However, recognizing
employers’ power over workers
as a central factor in African
(30) Americans’ economic marginal-
ization, African American workers
saw the need to join with White
workers in seeking change despite
White unionists’ toleration of or
(35) support for racial discrimination.

这句话前面是相关背景信息的叙述;后面是行动的结果;

而B则可以概全~~~~(整篇都是在讲African American union的过程和意义。)

但是我觉得这里them是指union  虽然这里不是语法 但是我们知道阅读的句子通常也是非常严谨 语法有个规则 them 不指代所有格的名词 所以我认为这里是指代unions

语法上确实存在这样的问题,但是从逻辑意思上,them是指的African American workers。

这篇文章的核心就是讲一件事:黑人参加工会并从中得到好处。

reasons for the success of African American unionists in winning victories,文章并没有讲,bryan看看文章,哪里也没说他们是怎么win的,用什么手段win的。

还有就是阅读的语法并不是很严谨

以下是引用philikittist在2004-11-28 15:10:00的发言:
还有就是阅读的语法并不是很严谨

我找到验证这句话的证据了,呵呵:

GWD-13-Q24  Anthropologists studying the Hopi people of the southwestern United States often characterize Hopi society between 1680 and 1880 as surprisingly stable, considering that it was a period of diminution in population and pressure from contact with outside groups, factors that might be expected to cause significant changes in Hopi social arrangements.

这个句子我读了很长时间,没严格明白它的意思。不知道,and pressure是和谁并列。当然其要表达的模糊意思,偶明白。

谁能帮我分析一下这句~~~~~


作者: bryan0806    时间: 2005-1-4 12:18
谢谢 Jerry 和 p姐

这题过了这么久再做还是错了  但是现在同意Jerry在4楼讲的

至于pressure   是不是跟population并列阿?

这里跟语法的严谨有舍么关系?

还请教一下 ?

ultimately是极端词汇啊,不可能是正确选项的。
作者: pengpengming    时间: 2005-7-22 10:50

untimately在这里是finally的意思,


不算极端词吧


作者: laihong    时间: 2005-10-9 16:23

这道题应该选B,理由:这篇文章先提出一个历史现象,然后分析了其中的一些问题,YET,HOWEVER, 最后表明了自己的主旨.


作者: scorp_w    时间: 2005-10-25 13:33

同意2楼!reason不是重点!


作者: sabrina07    时间: 2006-11-14 20:43
一开始没选B,因为文章没有体现arguing,又想了一下,如果选项中的them指代the unions,那就好理解了
作者: ptr07    时间: 2006-12-19 12:11
B is correct, D is wrong because the author did not talk about reasons for the success

作者: dreamchaserdan    时间: 2007-1-6 21:53
以下是引用qnzy在2005-7-16 11:10:00的发言:
ultimately是极端词汇啊,不可能是正确选项的。

我认为(B)的ultimately对应文中L37的eventually,而beneficial to对应文中L37-38的paid off。


作者: tangzimo    时间: 2007-10-20 21:40

这题不应该选D吧

因为D的解释太片面了。

全文其实只有最后一点儿地方,才提到for both African American and White workers。

还 是应该选B


作者: powerful    时间: 2008-6-22 20:35
 in winning victories for both African American and White workers  我觉得主要是african american  而不是both
作者: SuccessMBA08    时间: 2008-7-4 22:52

D太片面了


作者: snowlemon    时间: 2008-11-26 22:22
做这题看了半天,觉得b中的argue看着不顺,d中的reason觉得也不太好,考虑了半天不得已选了d. 看了讨论后,又查了字典,如果把argue理解为discuss就没有问题了,选b

pressure 和 diminution 并列, 人口减少,与外界接触的压力, 两个并列的因素来修饰period.

我终于知道这题答案B为什么要用argue了!
原文:
Yet it can be argued that through contracts negotiated and enforced by White union members, unions—CIO unions not excluded—were often instrumental in maintaining the occupational segregation and other forms of racial discrimination that kept African Americans socially and economically oppressed during this period. However, recognizing employers’ power over workers as a central factor in African Americans’ economic marginalization, African American workers saw the need to join with White workers in seeking change despite White unionists’ toleration of or support for racial discrimination.


这段话做题的时候觉得特别特别别扭,不懂第一个yet哪儿来的转折,现在反复看这道主旨题终于明白为什么这里用yet,而答案要选argue了~
我一开始也觉得文章只是在娓娓道来黑人运动是如何千回百转最后成功的,但是这句话体现出了作者不是没有目的性倾向性的,而是通过这一系列的史实来构建自己的argument,从而驳斥这种别人可能提出的argument。
