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。

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
A contribution made by organized labor to the war effort during the Second World War
B issues that union members considered most important during the Second World War
C relationship between unions and African Americans during the Second World War
D effect of the Second World War on the influence of unions in the workplace
E 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。
