Passage 39
      Historians sometimes forget that history is conunu-
   ally being made and experienced before it is studied,
   interpreted, and read. These latter activities have their
    own history, of course, which may impinge in unex-
(5)  pected ways on public events. It is difficult to predict
   when “new pasts” will overturn established historical
   interpretations and change the course of history.
     In the fall of 1954, for example, C. Vann Woodward
   delivered a lecture series at the University of Virginia
(10) which challenged the prevailling dogma concerning the
   history, continuity, and uniformity of racial segregation
   in the South. He argued that the Jim Crow laws of the
   late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries not only
   codified traditional practice but also were a determined
(15) effort to erase the considerable progress made by Black  
   people during and after Reconstruction in the 1870’s.
   This revisionist view of Jim Crow legislation grew in
   art from the research that Woodward had done for the
   NAACP legal campaign during its preparation for
(20) Brown v. Board of Education. The Supreme Court had
   issued its ruling in this epochal desegregation case a few
   months before Woodward’s lectures.
    The lectures were soon published as a book. The
    Strange Career of Jim Crow. Ten years later, in a
(25)     preface to the second revised edition. Woodward
   confessed with ironic modesty that the first edition
   “had begun to suffer under some of the handicaps that
   might be expected in a history of the American Revolu-
   tion published in 1776.” That was a bit like hearing
(30)Thomas Paine apologize for the timing of his pamphlet
   Common Sense, which had a comparable impact.
   Although Common Sense also had a mass readership.
   aine had intended to reach and inspire: he was not a
   historian, and thus not concerned with accuracy or the
(35) dangers of historical anachronism. Yet, like Paine,
   Woodward had an unerring sense of the revolutionary
   moment, and of how historical evidence could under-
   mine the mythological tradition that was crushing the
   dreams of new social possibilities. Martin Luther King,
(40) Jr.. testified to the profound effect of The Strange
   Career of Jim Crow on the civil rights movement by
   praising the book and quoting it frequently.

1. The “new pasts” mentioned in line 6 can best be
   described as the
  (A) occurrence of events extremely similar to past
     events
  (B) history of the activities of studying, interpreting, and
     reading new historical writing
  (C) change in people’s understanding of the past due to
     more recent historical writing
  (D) overturning of established historical interpretations
     by politically motivated politicians
  (E) difficulty of predicting when a given historical
     interpretation will be overturned

2. It can be inferred from the passage that the “prevailling
  dogma” (line 10) held that
  (A) Jim Crow laws were passed to give legal status to
     well-established discriminatory practices in the
     South
  (B) Jim Crow laws were passed to establish order and
     uniformity in the discriminatory practices of
     different southern states.
  (C) Jim Crow laws were passed to erase the social gains
     that Black people had achieved since Reconstruction
  (D) the continuity of racial segregation in the South was
     disrupted by passage of Jim Crow laws
  (E) the Jim Crow laws of the late nineteenth and early
     twentieth centuries were passed to reverse the effect
     of earlier Jim Crow laws

3. Which of the following is the best example of writing
  that is likely to be subject to the kinds of “handicaps”
  referred to in line 27?
  (A) A history of an auto manufacturing plant written by      an employee during an autobuying boom
  (B) A critique of a statewide school-desegregation plan
     written by an elementary school teacher in that state
  (C) A newspaper article assessing the historical
     importance of a United States President written
     shortly after the President has taken office
  (D) A scientific paper describing the benefits of a
     certain surgical technique written by the surgeon
     who developed the technique
  (E) Diary entries narrating the events of a battle written
     by a soldier who participated in the battle

4. The passage suggests that C. Vann Woodward and
  Thomas Paine were similar in all of the following ways
  EXCEPT:
  (A) Both had works published in the midst of important
     historical events.
  (B) Both wrote works that enjoyed widespread
     popularity.
  (C) Both exhibited an understanding of the relevance of
      historical evidence to contemporary issues.
  (D) The works of both had a significant effect on events
      following their publication.
  (E) Both were able to set aside worries about historical
     anachronism in order to reach and inspire.
  
5. The attitude of the author of the passage toward the
  work of C. Vann Woodward is best described as one of
  (A) respectful regard
  (B) qualified approbation
  (C) implied skepticism
  (D) pointed criticism
  (E) fervent advocacy

6. Which of the following best describes the new idea
  expressed by C. Vann Woodward in his University of
  Virginia lectures in 1954?
  (A) Southern racial segregation was continuous and
     uniform.
  (B) Black people made considerable progress only after
     Reconstruction.
  (C) Jim Crow legislation was conventional in nature.
  (D) Jim Crow laws did not go as far in codifying
     traditional practice as they might have.
  (E) Jim Crow laws did much more than merely reinforce
     a tradition of segregation.

1、In the fall of 1954, for example, C. Vann Woodward delivered a lecture series at the University of Virginia which challenged the prevailling dogma concerning the history, continuity, and uniformity of racial segregation in the South.
2、Woodward confessed with ironic modesty that the first edition “had begun to suffer under some of the handicaps that might be expected in a history of the American Revolution published in 1776.”
3、That was a bit like hearing homas Paine apologize for the timing of his pamphlet Common Sense, which had a comparable impact.
4、Yet, like Paine,Woodward had an unerring sense of the revolutionary moment, and of how historical evidence could under mine the mythological tradition that was crushing the dreams of new social possibilities.

5、Martin Luthe Jr.. testified to the profound effect of The Stran Career of Jim Crow on the civil rights movement by praising the book and quoting it frequently.

1、4、5可以看出大的方向是正评价，2和3有点小的负评价，但是不能作为主流（看看2和3的词从语气上能感觉出来，总有一种似无作者不愿承认的感觉）所以答案是B.

兔哥哥，你是敲进去的还是贴的啊？？太猛了呀，是兔兔的n倍！！

siebel

谢谢美美！

145正评价坚决支持！！！

2 这个负评价（如果是的话），应该是评价W这个人或者W的这段话的吧，而题目问的是对w的作品的评价，好像有点相关性不足？

4 这个负评价（如果是的话），应该是评价W这个人的吧，而题目问的是对w的作品的评价，好像有点相关性不足？

所以，欧就没有找到对 “work of C. Vann Woodward”的小负评价。。。。。。

Thanks!

albert

全文中前半段看出作品是有缺点的。。后半段才开始表扬的。。
所以是qualified approbation...

siebel

全文中前半段看出作品是有缺点的。。

albert，怎么看出的呢？是整体感觉么？有没有一两个句子或者单词暗示了这种缺点呢？谢谢！

albert

我是整体意思来判断的。。

前面主要说了XXX的文章和历史事实有冲突，被历史否定，他还得出来道歉。。

后面话锋一转，开始表扬他的重要性。。

所以。。。

另：我觉得这类态度题很少有毫无保留的表扬的，肯定要客观的表扬。。所以一般是有一些小缺点的。

bro,意思搞反了吧？

linlin315

嗯！是兔兔表达有问题。其实2里就有负评价
first edition指的是它的work吧？suffer....handicaps.不是负评价嘛
3里也有负评价
which had a comparable impact----负评价
另外Paine had intended to reach and inspire: he was not a historian, and thus not concerned with accuracy or the dangers of historical anachronism.---负评价
另外从yet的语气中可看出前面是负，所以后面才转的呀---负评价
我的感觉是文章中的语气词和过渡词很重要，很多时候答案就在他附近。

以下是引用siebel在2003-7-15 0:29:00的发言：

我认为这篇文章
首先说了一些背景的东西：当以前已经建立的东西被新的证据所推翻时很难预料会如何。然后讲了那个人的观点（challenge足以说明作者对他的正评价，而且这段并没有出现什么负评价）。接着讲了他的作品有点和历史冲突（而且在这段里作者用了confessed with ironic modesty 非常奇怪的承认和a bit like hearing听起来有点像的字眼。最后通过Paine had intended to reach and inspire: he was not a historian, and thus not concerned with accuracy or the dangers of historical anachronism指出了是有点缺点。）最后有话锋一转给出明显的正评价。
就这样......我认为是......对不？？
