Kazuko Nakane’ s history of the early Japanese immigrants to central California’s Pajaro Valley focuses on the development of farming communities there from 1890 to 1940. The Issei(first-generation immigrants)were brought into the Pajaro Valley to raise sugar beets. Like Issei laborers in American cities, Japanese men in rural areas sought employment via the "boss" system. The system comprised three elements: immigrant wage laborers; Issei boardinghouses where laborers stayed; and labor contractors, who gathered workers for a particular job and then negotiated a contract between workers and employer. This same system was originally utilized by the Chinese laborers who had preceded the Japanese. A re- lated institution was the "labor club," which provided job information and negotiated employment contracts and other legal matters, such as the rental of land, for Issei who chose to belong and paid an annual fee to the cooperative for membership.
When the local sugar beet industry collapsed in 1902, the Issei began to lease land from the valley’ s strawberry farmers. The Japanese provided the labor and the crop was divided between laborers and landowners. The Issei thus moved quickly from wage-labor employment to sharecropping agreements. A limited amount of economic progress was made as some Issei were able to rent or buy farmland directly, while others joined together to form farming corporation. As the Issei began to operate farms, they began to marry and start families, forming an established Japanese American community. Unfortunately, the Issei’s efforts to attain a-gricultural independence were hampered by government restrictions, such as the Alien Land Law of 1913. But immigrants could circumvent such exclusionary laws by leasing or purchasing land in their American-born children’s names. Nakane’ s case study of one rural Japanese American community provides valuable information about the lives and experiences of the Issei. It is, however, too particularistic. This limitation de- rives from Nakane’ s methodology that of oral history which cannot substitute for a broader theoretical or comparative perspective. Future research might well consider two issues raised by her study: were the Issei of the Pajaro Valley similar to or different from Issei in urban settings, and what variations existed between rural Japanese American communities? [br] Which of the following best describes a "labor club," as defined in the passage?
选项
A、An organization to which Issei were compelled to belong if they sought employment in the Pajaro Valley.
B、An association whose members included labor contractors and landowning "bosses".
C、A type of farming corporation set up by Issei who had resided in the Pajaro Valley for some time.
D、A cooperative association whose members were dues-paying Japanese laborers.
E、A social organization to which Japanese laborers and their families belonged.
答案
D
解析
哪一个最合乎原文记述的“劳动俱乐部”?A.“compelled to belong”不符原文,L24“chose to belong”。B.“bosses”是第一个体制“system”中的特点,和“劳动俱乐部”无关。C.“set up by Issei”文中无。D.正确。是一个合作组织,其成员是支付会费的日本劳工。符合原文L19—26的叙述。E.“their families belonged”无。
