小弟我最近猛刷阅读，好歹有了点起色，基本OG错1个或不错。不过下面这篇把我彻底打败了。。。第一读完以后不太知道文章在讲什么，第二基本所有的题目都毫无头绪，是我太弱了嘛。求教各位大牛，能否大概解析一下文章结构，并帮我定位分析一下没道题目，我说实话是毫无头绪，基本是蒙的了。括号内是正解，鄙人只对了一个。
Historians sometimes forget that history is continually beingmade and experienced before it is studied, interpreted, and read. These latteractivities have their own history, of course, which may impinge in unexpectedways on public events. It is difficult to predict when “new pasts” willoverturn established historical interpretations and change the course ofhistory.In the fall of 1954, for example, C. Vann Woodward delivered alecture series at the University of Virginia which challenged the prevailingdogma concerning the history, continuity, and uniformity of racial segregationin the South. He argued that the Jim Crow (Jim Crow: n. 〈贬〉黑人) laws of the late nineteenth and early twentiethcenturies not only codified traditional practice but also were a determinedeffort to erase the considerable progress made by Black people during and afterReconstruction in the 1870’s. This revisionist view of Jim Crow legislationgrew in part from the research that Woodward had done for the NAACP legalcampaign during its preparation for Brownv. Board of Education. The Supreme Court had issued its ruling in thisepochal desegregation case a few months before Woodward’s lectures.The lectures were soon published as a book, The Strange Career of Jim Crow. Tenyears later, in a preface to the second revised edition, Woodward confessedwith ironic modesty that the first edition “had begun to suffer under some ofthe handicaps that might expected in a history of the American Revolutionpublished in 1776.” That was a bit like hearing Thomas Paine apologize for thetiming of his pamphlet Common Sense,which had a comparable impact. Although CommonSense also had a mass readership, Paine had intended to reach and inspire:he was not a historian, and thus not concerned with accuracy or the dangers ofhistorical anachronism. Yet, like Paine, Woodward had an unerring sense of therevolutionary moment, and of how historical evidence could undermine themythological tradition that was crushing the dreams of new socialpossibilities. Martin Luther King, Jr., testified to the profound effect of The Strange Career of Jim Crow on the civil rights movement by praising thebook and quoting it frequently.
