In a 1918 editorial, W.E.B. Du Bois advised African Americans to stop agitating for equality and to proclaim the solidarity with White Americans for the duration of the First World War. 1918年的社论中,DB建议与白人团结。
The editorial surprised many Africa Americans who viewed Du Bois as an uncompromising African American leader and a chief opponent of the (10) accommodationist tactics urged by Booker, T. Washington. 人们对此大感意外,因为DB原被认为是一个不妥协的领袖,并反对TW。
In fact, however, Du Bois often shifted positions along the continuum between Washington and confrontationists (15) such as William Trotter. 实际上,DB总转换观点。
In 1895, when Washington called on African Americans to concentrate on improving their communities instead of opposing discrimination and agitating for (20) political rights, Du Bois praised Washington’s speech. 1895年时支持W。
In 1903, however, Du Bois aligned himself with Trotter Washington’s militant opponent, less for ideological reasons (25) than because Trotter had described to him Washington’s efforts to silence those in the African American press who opposed Washington’s positions. 1903年,DB反对W,并出于非意识形态原因。
(20)Reflected not a change in his long-term goals but rather a pragmatic response in the face of social pressure government officials had threatened African Americans’ contributions to past war efforts had brought them some legal and political (40) advances. 这只是一种实际考量,并不是长期目标的改变。
Du Bois’ accommodationism did not last, however. 但DB并没有坚持很久。
Upon learning of(/on?) systematic discrimination experienced by African Americans in the military, he called on them to “return fighting” from the war. 此后,DB又转向放对战争。
24-25: According to the passage, which of the following is true of the strategy that Du Bois’ 1918 editorial urged African Americans to adopt during the First World War?
A) It was a strategy that Du Bois had consistently rejected in the past.与原文反。因为DB在过去曾转变过。
B) It represented a compromise between Du Bois’ own views and those of Trotter.混。
C) It represented a significant redefinition of the long-term goals Du Bois held prior to the war.反,没有说改变长期目标。
D) It was advocated by Du Bois in response to his recognition of the discrimination faced by African Americans during the war. 反,在得知军队中受歧视后,DB转向了。
E) It was advocated by Du Bois in part because of his historical knowledge of gains African Americans had made during past wars. 原文有述。而且以前的帖子里也有论述了。
