PASSAGE 34
*Kazuko Nakane's history of the early Japanese immi- grants to central California's Pajaro Valley focuses on the development of farming communities there from 1890 to 1940. The Issei
first-generation immigrants)
5) were brought into the Pajaro Valley to raise sugar beets. Like Issei laborers in American cities, Japanese men in rural areas sought employment via the "boss" system. The system comprised three elements: immigrant wage laborers; Issei boardinghouses where laborers stayed;
10) and labor contractors, who gathered workers for a particular job and then negotiated a contract between workers and employer. This same system was originally utilized by the Chinese laborers who had preceded the Japanese. A related institution was the "labor club,"
15)which provided job information and negotiated employ- ment contracts and other legal matters, such as the rental of land, for Issei who chose to belong and paid an annual fee to the cooperative for membership. When the local sugar beet industry collapsed in 1902,
20) the Issei began to lease land from the valley's strawberry farmers. The Japanese provided the labor and the crop was divided between laborers and landowners. The Issei began to operate farms, they began to marry and start families, forming an established Japanese American
30) community. Unfortunately, the Issei's efforts to attain agricultural independence were hampered by govern- ment restrictions, such as the Alien Land Law of 1913. But immigrants could circumvent such exclusionary laws by leasing or purchasing land in their American-born
35) children's names.
*Nakane's case study of one rural Japanese American community provides valuable information about the lives and experiences of the Isseil. It is, however, too particularistic. This limitation derives from Nakane's
40) methodology—that of oral history—which cannot substitute for a broader theoretical or comparative perspective. Furture research might well consider two issues raised by her study: were the Issei of the Pajaro Valley similar to or different from Issei in urban settings,
45) and what variations existed between rural Japanese American communities?

4. Several Issei families join together to purchase astrawberry field and the necessary farming equipment.Such a situation best exemplifies which of thefollowing, as it is described in the passage?
(A) A typical sharecropping agreement
(B) A farming corporation
(C) A "labor club"
(D) The "boss" system
(E) Circumvention of the Alien Land Law

答案是B，我选A。CDE很明显是错的，但是AB文章中都没有找到。如果按字面理解的话，一个说share一个说corporation，意思都和题干意思相近，不知怎么选

你的文章中漏了一段，我在括号里补了

When the local sugar beet industry collapsed in 1902,
20) the Issei began to lease land from the valley's strawberry farmers. The Japanese provided the labor and the crop was divided between laborers and landowners.

（The Issei thus moved quickly from wage-labor employment to sharecropping (sharecrop: v.作佃农耕种) agreements. A limited amount of economic progress was made as some Issei were able to rent or buy farmland directly, while others joined together to form farming corporations.）

The Issei began to operate farms, they began to marry and start families, forming an established Japanese American
30) community

楼上已经指出了问题。

不过楼主的版本好像是被人有意修改过的，除了少了一小段，

As the Issei began to operate farms, they began to marry and start families, forming an established Japanese American community.

这句话的起头也改了。奇怪....

while others joined together to form farming corporations.这句不就是答案吗

everann

A limited amount of economic progress was made as some Issei were able to rent or buy farmland directly, while others joined together to form farming corporations.

对这句话还不怎么能够理解。请问limited表现在哪里呢？是因为有一些人可以直接买或者租地，而其他人只能够合作才能够形成公司吗？

everann

还有wage-labor employment和sharecropping (sharecrop: v.作佃农耕种) agreements究竟又分别指哪一个阶段？在文中无法确定相应的内容呐。

知道这篇文好麻烦。还是希望飘过的前辈指点一下。
