查過這題曾被 Janet 於 2005-10-15 00:52 在 GWD24-25 的問題區中提問
可是她對於 B/D 選項有疑惑 而在下對於選項 A/B 有疑惑
又當時標題是 Q25 所以冒昧再貼一次
請教諸位大大
D.B. 於1903年支持 T (反Washington)
因為 T 跟 D.B. 說 Washington 試圖打壓反對W的非裔美國人...
為何不能解讀成 D.B. 比較贊成 T 的觀點呢?
因為 D.B. 不認同 Washington 做法所以轉而支持 T 啊~
請大家幫忙解答 謝謝唷 ~
24-27: The passage indicates which of the following about Du Bois’ attitude toward Washington?
A) It underwent a shift during the First World War as Du Bois became more sympathetic with Trotter’s views.
B) It underwent a shift in 1903 for reasons other than Du Bois’ disagreement with Washington’s accommodationist views.
答案是 B
原文如下:
In a 1918 editorial, W.E.B. Du Bois advised African Americans to stop agitating for equality and to proclaim the solidarity with White Americans for the duration of the First World War.
The editorial surprised many Africa Americans who viewed Du Bois as an uncompromising African American leader and a chief opponent of the (10) accommodationist tactics urged by Booker, T. Washington.
In fact, however, Du Bois often shifted positions along the continuum between Washington and confrontationists (15) 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 (20) 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 (25) than because Trotter had described to him Washington’s efforts to silence those in the African American press who opposed Washington’s positions.
(20)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 Americans’ contributions to past war efforts had brought them some legal and political (40) advances.
Du Bois’ accommodationism did not last, however.
Upon learning of(/on?) systematic discrimination experienced by African Americans in the military, he called on them to “return fighting” from the war.
