In the two decades between 1910 and 1930, over

ten percent to the Black population of the United States

left the South, where the preponderance of the Black

population had been located, and migrated to northern

(5) states, with the largest number moving, it is claimed,

between 1916 and 1918. It has been frequently assumed,

but not proved, that the majority of the migrants in

what has come to be called the Great Migration came

from rural areas and were motivated by two concurrent

(10) factors: the collapse of the cotton industry following

the boll weevil infestation, which began in 1898, and

increased demand in the North for labor following

the cessation of European immigration caused by the

outbreak of the First World War in 1914. This assump-

(15) tion has led to the conclusion that the migrants’ subse-

quent lack of economic mobility in the North is tied to

rural background, a background that implies unfamil-

iarity with urban living and a lack of industrial skills.

But the question of who actually left the South has

(20) never been rigorously investigated. Although numerous

investigations document an exodus from rural southern

areas to southern cities prior to the Great Migration.

no one has considered whether the same migrants then

moved on to northern cities. In 1910 over 600,000

(25) Black workers, or ten percent of the Black work force,

reported themselves to be engaged in “manufacturing

and mechanical pursuits,” the federal census category

roughly encompassing the entire industrial sector. The

Great Migration could easily have been made up entirely

(30) of this group and their families. It is perhaps surprising

to argue that an employed population could be enticed

to move, but an explanation lies in the labor conditions

then prevalent in the South.

About thirty-five percent of the urban Black popu-

(35) lation in the South was engaged in skilled trades. Some

were from the old artisan class of slavery-blacksmiths.

masons, carpenters-which had had a monopoly of

certain trades, but they were gradually being pushed

out by competition, mechanization, and obsolescence,

(40) The remaining sixty-five percent, more recently urban-

ized, worked in newly developed industries---tobacco.

lumber, coal and iron manufacture, and railroads.

Wages in the South, however, were low, and Black

workers were aware, through labor recruiters and the

(45)Black press, that they could earn more even as unskilled

workers in the North than they could as artisans in the

South. After the boll weevil infestation, urban Black

workers faced competition from the continuing influx

of both Black and White rural workers, who were driven

(50) to undercut the wages formerly paid for industrial jobs.

Thus, a move north would be seen as advantageous

to a group that was already urbanized and steadily

employed, and the easy conclusion tying their subse-

quent economic problems in the North to their rural

background comes into question.

The author indicates explicitly that which of the following records has been a source of information in her investigation？

A．United States Immigration Service reports from 1914 to 1930

B．Payrolls of southern manufacturing firms between 1910 and 1930

C．The volume of cotton exports between 1898 and 1910

D．The federal census of 1910

Between about 1910 and 1930, new artistic movements in European art were making themse

lves felt in the United States. American artists became acquainted with the new art on their trips to Paris and at the exhibitions in the famous New York gallery “291”(named after its address on Fifth Avenue) of the photographer Alfred Stieglitz. But most important in the spread of the modern movements in the United States was the sensational Armory Show of the 1913 held in New York, in which the works of many of the leading European artists were seen along with the works of a number of progressive American painters. Several of the American modernists who were influenced by the Armory Show found the urban landscape, especially New York, an appealing subject. Compared with the works of the realist painters, the works of American modernists were much further removed from the actual appearance of the city; they were more interested in the “feel “ of the city, more concerned with the meaning behind appearance. However, both the painters of the Ash Can School” and the later realists were still tied to nineteenth-century or earlier styles, while the early modernists shared in the international breakthroughs of the art of the twentieth century.The greatest of these breakthroughs was Cubism, developed most fully in France between 1907 and 1914, which brought about a major revolution in Western painting. It overturned the regional tradition that had been built upon since the Renaissance. In cubism, natural forms were broken down analytically into geometric shapes. No longer was a clear differentiation made between the figure and the background of a painting: the objects represented and the surface on which they were painted became one. The Cubists abandoned the conventional single vantage point of the viewer, and objects depicted from multiple viewpoints were shown at the same way.

Human migrations （迁移) within recorded history have transformed the entire character of l

Human migrations (迁移) within recorded history have transformed the entire character of lands and continents and the composition of their racial, ethnic and language groups. The map of Europe, for example, is the product of several major early migrations involving the Germanic peoples, the Slaves, and the Turks. The overseas migration of Europeans during this period totaled about 60 million people.

The largest migration in history has been called the Great Atlantic Migration from Europe to North America, the first major wave of which began in the 1840's with mass movements from Ireland and Germany. In the 1880's, a second and larger wave developed from eastern and southern Europe; between 1880 and 1910 some 17 million Europeans entered the United States. The total number of Europeans reaching tile United States amounted to 37 million between 1820 and 1980. From 1801 to 1914 about 7.5 million people moved from Europe to Asiatic Russia, and between World War I and II about 6 million more chose to move there, not counting the vast number of deportees (被遗返回国者) who were forced to go to Siberia's labor camps. Since World War Ⅱ the largest migrations have involved groups from developing countries moving to the industrialized nations. Some 13 million people moved across borders to become permanent residents of Western Europe from the 1960's through the 1980's, and more than 10 million permanent immigrants were admitted Legally to the United States in that same period, with illegal immigration adding several millions more.

Slave migrations and mass expulsions (排斥) also have been part of human history for thousands of years. The largest slave migrations were probably those compelled by European slave traders operating in Africa from the 16th to the 19th century; perhaps 20 million slaves were taken to the America, though a large number died in terrible conditions of the trip across the Atlantic Ocean. The largest mass expulsions have probably been those imposed by Nazi Germany, which deported 7 to 8 million persons during World War Ⅱ. The major trend in internal migration during the 20th century has been the movement from rural to urban areas. As a consequence, urban growth since World War II has been very rapid in much of the world, particularly in developing countries.

What is the main idea of the passage？

A．The map of Europe is the product of several major early migrations.

B．Human migrations within recorded history have changed the world.

C．The overseas migration of Europeans totaled about 60 million people.

D．The first major wave of migration began in the 1840's.
