一个短阅读问题

The United States Civil Rights movement, which began in the 1950s and gained momentum in
the 1960s and 1970s, owed a heavy debt to African American newspapers. This is not to
suggest that the African American press caused the Civil Rights era. But its continual push
from 1910 to 1950 or more African American rights, using a compelling form of advocacy
journalism rather than the standard objective newspaper style, allowed those who in the
1950s began pushing nationally for equality to start at a far higher level than if the African
American press had not existed. This point has largely been missed by many Americans, who
seen to believe the Civil Rights era erupted from a standstill like a dormant geyser. But that is
not how history occurs.

2. According to the passage, African American newspapers contributed to the Civil Rights
movement primarily by
A. exposing bias in supposedly objective newspaper accounts
B. connecting the movement's leaders with local communities
C. providing a platform for leaders to be heard by a wide audience
D. laying the groundwork for a later national effort
E. building momentum for efforts that were already in progress

答案给的E，认为newspaper和press不同，我还是觉得选D，想问问大家的看法。

你好 大神
我没看出来作者想说newspapers 和press不同啊。。
这个文章讲的好像是没有这个African newspapers 的出现也会有movement的（This is not to
suggest that the African American press caused the Civil Rights era ）所以不是lay the groundwork（个人认为groundwork是必要条件的意思）  这个newspaper只是对movement锦上添花的作用

这个newspapers 的出现提高了起点（began pushing nationally for equality to start at a far higher level than if the African American press had not existed.）是对应的E选项 的momentum 和 in progress

个人观点 请指教

谢谢，确实groundwork不只是促进作用

答案错了吧，应该是选D没错

Orion_ChangUID: 3582304

首先全文就是在说D的意思，D都可以拿来当做主旨了。

撇开这个不谈，E有个严重的错误 “efforts that were already in progress”。
African American newspapers 在前(1910-1950), Civil Rights era 在后(1960-1970)，前者在发挥作用时后者并不存在。

那作者怎么提到了newspapers push African American rights from 1910 to 1950

我表示我在考场上做不出来

你的理解里efforts是more African American rights，但是more African American rights本身不是efforts，而是purpose。

work for more African American rights 可以是 efforts。但是对于这一类work，全文中除了提到了African American newspapers和Civil Rights movement，没有提到过其他类似的东西，更不提“efforts that were already in progress”。

我也是从全文的角度考虑的，newspapers做了很多的准备工作，选D.
但是第一句有点迷惑性，我觉得这个gain momentum不一定就是报纸的作用吧。
并且题目问primarily，还是从全文的角度考虑比较靠谱。

另外不求高分做不出来这题也没关系，毕竟这题如果机构的老师都做错了，那意味着这题的标准是165+的。

gain momentum是报纸的作用

这个作用虽然没有明说，但是作者写这篇文章的目的就是为了说“gain momentum是报纸的作用”

关键还是错在那个“efforts that were already in progress”

我的意思是如果gain momentum是newspaper的作用，那这个作用的时间就是1960-1970，但没有明说，文章详细说的报纸的作用只有1910-1950.
efforts that were already in progress的发生时间是after 1950s, 那E就勉强能说得通。

我表示我当时。默认给African American rights 后面加个movements:L

为什么不可能是A？

“using a compelling form of advocacy
journalism rather than the standard objective newspaper style”

这不就是倾向性、具有个人偏见的而不是标准客观的吗？我觉得这也叫做contribution吧

求大神指教

E对应的是第一句话，the United States civil rights movement, which began in the 1950s and gained momentum in the 1960s and 1970s, owed a heavy debt to African American newspapers.不是1910 to 1950这一句。所以E的building momentum起码也是after 1950s，以African American newspapers为时间标准，肯定不会是already in progress.
