GWD24-Q25

In a 1918 editorial, W.E.B. Du Bois advised African Americans to stop agitating for equality and to proclaim their solidarity with White Americans for the duration of the First World War. The editorial surprised many African Americans who viewed Du Bois as an uncompromising African American leader and a chief opponent of the accommodationist tactics urged by Booker, T.Washington. In fact, however, Du Bois often shifted positions along the continuum between Washington and confrontationists 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 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 than because Trotter had described to him Washington’s efforts to silence those in the African American press who opposed Washington’s positions. 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 American journalists with censorship if they continued to voice grievances. Furthermore, Du Bois believed that African Americans’ contributions to past war efforts had brought them some legal and political advances. Du Bois’ accommodationism did not last, however. Upon learning of systematic discrimination experienced by African Americans in the military, he called on them to “return fighting” from the war.

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.




B.It represented a compromise between Du Bois’ own views and those of Trotter.




C.It represented a significant redefinition of the long-term goals Du Bois held prior to the war.




D.It was advocated by Du Bois in response to his recognition of the discrimination faced by African Americans during the war.




E.It was advocated by Du Bois in part because of his historical knowledge of gains African Americans had made during past wars.

请教NN,这道题我在做的时候思路完全是乱的 就选了A 因为看到文章开头的地方说了“The editorial surprised many African Americans who viewed Du Bois as an uncompromising African American leader and a chief opponent of the accommodationist tactics urged by Booker, T.Washington”
请教各位此题的解题思路,谢谢!!

A.It was a strategy that Du Bois had consistently rejected in the past.
原文并没有说,这个是他之前反对的。人们将B看成是一个不妥协的人,不代表他就是反对

这种策略的。

B.It represented a compromise between Du Bois’ own views and those of Trotter.
不是compromise

C.It represented a significant redefinition of the long-term goals Du Bois held

prior to the war.
reflected not a change in his long-term goals ,因此错

D.It was advocated by Du Bois in response to his recognition of the

discrimination faced by African Americans during the war.

but rather a pragmatic response in the face of social pressure,因此这个也不对

E.It was advocated by Du Bois in part because of his historical knowledge of

gains African Americans had made during past wars.

Du Bois believed that African Americans’ contributions to past war efforts had

brought them some legal and political advances。可以得出应该选D

不知道我选的答案是否正确。

补充一下:我理解的原文脉络大致如下:

首先,作者提出了一个事件。DB建议美国黑人不要去争求平等权利了,应该和白人联合起来。

DB这个观点是很多人很吃惊,因为人们以前都认为DB是一个毫不妥协的领袖。

紧接着,文章论述了DB这样建议的原因。大致有两个,第一个是DB本来就是一个摇摆不定的

人;其次,DB认为在过去的战争中,黑人们已经取得了一些权利。
