GWD24-passage three
Du Bois在一战前后的政治立场（黑人领袖墙头草）难！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. 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. In fact, however, Du Bois often shifted positions along the continuum between Washington and confrontationists (15) such as William Trotter. 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. 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,(30)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. Du Bois’ accommodationism did not last, however. Upon learning of(/on?) systematic discrimination experienced by African Americans in the military, he called on them to “return fighting” from the war. Du Bois在一战前后的观点变来变去。 1918年DB反对黑人“惹事生非”，令众人吃惊，因为他们以为他一向和妥协家W作对。其实DB经常在W派和T派间摇摆。在1895年W叫黑人多改善自身社区不要反对歧视的时候，DB是称赞他的。到1903年DB又反对W了，不是因为异见，而是因为听到W压制黑人媒体。这反映了他是因应政府施加的社会压力而改变立场的。黑人的努力改善了自身法律政治地位。DB最后因为知道黑人在军队里受到歧视，再次支持黑人起来战斗。
我的理解： 文章脉络比较复杂，我一直把Washington 当成地点来看了，难怪理解偏差。、原来这个DB是个现实派，才会左右摇摆。看图更清晰：
T （对抗派强人） DB（墙头草） W（妥协派龟孙子） 1895 表扬W 1903与T 联盟 1918号召战争时与白人合作 1918之后号召反对 军队对黑人歧视
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. 反着说，In fact, however, Du Bois often shifted positions along the continuum between Washington and confrontationists (15) such as William Trotter.
B) It represented a compromise between Du Bois’ own views and those of Trotter. 无关。1918的事情与T无关，张冠李戴。 原文说的是：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.
C) It represented a significant redefinition of the long-term goals Du Bois held prior to the war. 无关。上下乱窜 & 发着说，这个long-term goals
是后半段说的，前面1918的时候没提到： reflected not a change in his long-term goals but rather a pragmatic response
D) It was advocated by Du Bois in response to his recognition of the discrimination faced by African Americans during the war. 无关。上下乱窜，这是最后一句话说的后来的事情，在文章结尾处，直接排除。 E) It was advocated by Du Bois in part because of his historical knowledge of gains African Americans had made during past wars. 排除前面4个后，我也很困惑，E 为什么对？这个E里说的内容是文章结尾处说的？貌似与1918无关？
感觉第30句后的句子与前一句接不上，是不是这个考试文章弄来的时候少了几句话？
24-26: The passage is primarily concerned with A) identifying historical circumstances that led Du Bois to alter his long-term goals. 反着说，原文说此人没有long-term goals B) defining “accommodationism” and showing how Du Bois used this strategy to achieve certain goals. 无中生有 C) accounting for a particular position adopted by Du Bois during the First World War. 文章一直都在说这个人变来变去。 D) contesting the view that Du Bois was significantly influenced by either Washington or Trotter. 没说受谁的影响，无中生有 E) assessing the effectiveness of a strategy that Du Bois urged African Americans to adopt. 没说effectiveness，无中生有
24-27: The passage indicates which of the following about Du Bois’ attitude toward Washington? A) It underwent a shift during the First World War as Du Bois became more sympathetic with Trotter’s views. 一战时的事情与T无关，无中生有。 B) It underwent a shift in 1903 for reasons other than Du Bois’ disagreement with Washington’s accommodationist views. 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, 原文同义改写。 C) It underwent a shift as Du Bois make a long-term commitment to the strategy of accommodation. 反着说，DB这个人根本没有长期目标。 D) It remained consistently positive even though Du Bois disagreed with Washington’s efforts to control the African American press. 反着说。实际情况是：1903站到T一起，反对W E) It was shaped primarily by Du Bois’ appreciation of Washington’s pragmatic approach to the advancement of the interests of African Americans. 张冠李戴，pragmatic
原文第一次出现的时候是来说DB的，在后半段靠近结尾的地方： reflected not a change in his long-term goals but rather a pragmatic response in the face of social pressure government officials had threatened 心得：看到一个关键词/中心词，一定回原文看这个词第一次出现的位置，否则很可能是张冠李戴的迷惑选项！ |
