Historians sometimes forget that history is continually being made and experienced before it is studied, interpreted, and read. These latter activities have their own history, of course, which may impinge in unexpected ways on public events. It is difficult to predict when "new pasts" will overturn established historical interpretations and change the course of history.
In the fall of 1954, for example, C. Vann Woodward delivered a lecture series at the University of Virginia which challenged the prevailing dogma concerning the history, continuity, and uniformity of racial segregation in the South. He argued that the Jim Crow laws of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries not only codified traditional practice but also were a determined effort to erase the considerable progress made by Black people during and after Reconstruction in the 1870’s. This revisionist view of Jim Crow legis- lation grew in part from the research that Woodward had done for the NAACP legal campaign during its preparation for Brown v. Board of Education. The Supreme Court had issued its ruling in this epochal desegregation case a few months before Woodward’ s lectures.
The lectures were soon published as a book—The Strange Career of Jim Crow. Ten years later, in a preface to the second revised edition, Woodward confessed with ironic modesty that the first edition "had begun to suffer under some of the handicaps that might be ex- pected in a history of the American Revolution published in 1776." That was a bit like hearing Thomas Paine apologize for the timing of his pamphlet Common Sense, which had a compara- ble impact. Although Common Sense also had a mass readership, Paine had intended to reach and inspire: he was not a historian, and thus not concerned with accuracy or the dangers of histori- cal anachronism. Yet, like Paine, Woodward had an unerring sense of the revolutionary moment, and of how historical evidence could undermine the mythological tradition that was crushing the dreams of new social possibilities. Martin Luther King, Jr. testified to the profound effect of The Strange Career of Jim Crow on the civil rights movement by praising the book and quoting it frequently.
The passage suggests that C. Vann Woodward and Thomas Paine were similar in all of the following ways EXCEPT:
选项
A、Both had works published in the midst of important historical events.
B、Both wrote works that enjoyed widespread popularity.
C、Both exhibited an understanding of the relevance of historical evidence to contemporary issues.
D、The works of both had a significant effect on events following their publication.
E、Both were able to set aside worries about historical anachronism in order to reach and inspire.
答案
E
解析
以下哪一个不是Woodward和Paine的相似之处?A.两人都在历史事件中发表作品。Paine在美国独立战争期间发表《常识》,Woodward在美国民权运动中发表《Jim Crow的古怪历程》。B.两人书销路都好。见原文L45—46。C.两人都懂得用历史资料服务于现实事件。见原文L50—55。D.两书在历史上都起到了效果。原文L55—600 Paine的书起到的作用从原文叙述可以推出。E.正确。两者都为了激励别人而不顾对历史年代错误的担心。Paine确实不担心,见L46—50。而Woodward是担心这一点的,所以在第二版前言中还要道歉。L36—41。
