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 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.
(20) Unions faced a choice between
either maintaining the prewar status
quo or promoting a more inclusive
3
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
interests. The accelerating develop-
ment of the civil rights movement
(35) following the Second World War
exacerbated the unions’ dilemma,
forcing trade unionists to confront
contradictions in their own practices.

我自己做的答案,没有完全的把握哈
Q6.选A
A中的opposing viewpoints指的是历史学家和学者各自的观点.第二段是A中的context
B中的flawed assumption错误,文章没有提到任何的假设.
C中a controversial theory错误,文章提到两个观点,历史学家的和学者的.不是“一个矛盾的理论”.
D中“历史重要性”错误,文章没有谈论alliance发展的重要性
E的错误在于,a particular interpretation,文章提到两个观点,如果把第二段看成是evidence,这些evidence也并没有针对某一个观点
Q7 选C
历史学家认为战争有助于union和African之间联盟alliance的达成（rise）
学者认为organized labor在维护（defending）白人工人相对于African workers既有的优势（privileged position）
即union和African的关系不同,选C
A中organized labor对战争的贡献,两个观点都没有提到
B中union members认为最重要的事情在两个观点中都没有体现
D战争对union的影响,没有提到
E中“extent”没有提到,排除
希望这两个答案都是对的.
