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 1950s for 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 seem to believe that the Civil Rights era erupted from a standstill, like a dormant geyser. But that is not how history occurs. [br] The primary purpose of the passage is to
选项 A、challenge a particular scholarly argument
B、identify the cause of a historical development
C、present a summary of a long-standing debate
D、explain the origins of a flawed theory
E、correct a commonly held misconception
答案 E
解析 本文属于“老观点一批判一新观点”结构的文章。第四句是本文所要批判的观点：民权运动爆发于静止。第五句是批判，认为历史的真相并非如此，一到四句是本文作者的观点，认为民权运动归功于非裔美国人报纸。选项E的correct意为“纠正”，既有批判也有新观点；a commonly held misconception对应第四句的many Americans。A项challenge只包括了批判，没有包含新观点，这是驳论文主旨题常选的选项。另外本文反驳的是many Americans的观点，这不一定是scholarly。B项第二句已经明确说明非裔美国人报纸不是民权运动的原因。C项debate表明两个观点不分对错。D项没有讨论理论的“起源”。
