Some historians contend that con- ditions in the United States during the Second World War gave rise to a Line dynamic wartime alliance between (5) trade unions and the African American community, an alliance that advanced the cause of civil rights. They con- clude that the postwar demise权利的让渡 of this vital alliance constituted a lost oppor- (10) tunity for the civil rights movement that followed the war. Other scholars, however, have portrayed organized labor as defending all along the rela- tively privileged position of White (15) workers relative to African American workers. Clearly, these two perspec- tives are not easily reconcilable, but the historical reality is not reducible to one or the other.一种理论说工会和黑人工人妥协,另一种理论说工会一直在维护白人工人的特权地位。这两种理论无法轻易调和,但是历史事实和这两种理论也都无法调和。 (20) 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 (25) affairs of unions, access to skilled and high-paying positions within the occupational hierarchy, and protec- tion against management’s arbitrary authority in the workplace. While (30) union representatives often voiced this inclusive ideal, in practice unions far more often favored entrenched确立的 interests. The accelerating develop- ment of the civil rights movement (35) following the Second World War exacerbated恶化 the unions’ dilemma, forcing trade unionists to confront contradictions in their own practices. Q7:According to the passage, the historians mentioned in line 1 and the scholars mentioned in line 11 disagree about the - contribution made by organized labor to the war effort during the Second World War
- issues that union members considered most important during the Second World War
- relationship between unions and African Americans during the Second World War
- effect of the Second World War on the influence of unions in the workplace
- extent to which African Americans benefited from social and political changes following the Second World War
答案选了B,我两次做都选C 我觉得第一段并没有写工会觉得什么东西最重要,而是在写两种学者认为工会和黑人工人的关系如何。一种认为他们在二战期间结成同盟,另一种认为工会还是维护白人工人的特权地位。 大家的意见呢?
