      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。

(20)

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。






大家的意见呢？

I think it should be C
B will be acceptable if the statement changes into "issues that union members considered most important AFTER the WWII."

I chose C too. Don't know why the answer is B?

bodkicker

呵呵，那我就心定了。

overdrivewang

support C. after I saw the answer B, I read the paragraph triple times and still think C is better. "According to the passage" means we can find it directly from the paragraph, I can not find answer b.
