In its 1903 decision in the case
of Lone Wolf v. Hitchcock, the United
States Supreme Court rejected the
Line efforts of three Native American tribes
(5) to prevent the opening of tribal lands
to non-Indian settlement without tribal
consent. In his study of the Lone
Wolf case, Blue Clark properly
emphasizes the Court’s assertion
(10) of a virtually unlimited unilateral power
of Congress (the House of Represen-
tatives and the Senate) over Native
American affairs. But he fails to note
the decision’s more far-reaching
(15) impact: shortly after Lone Wolf, the
federal government totally abandoned
negotiation and execution of formal
written agreements with Indian tribes
as a prerequisite for the implemen-
(20) tation of federal Indian policy. Many
commentators believe that this change
had already occurred in 1871 when—
following a dispute between the
House and the Senate over which
(25) chamber should enjoy primacy in
Indian affairs—Congress abolished
the making of treaties with Native
American tribes. But in reality the
federal government continued to nego-
(30) tiate formal tribal agreements past
the turn of the century, treating these
documents not as treaties with sover-
eign nations requiring ratification by the
Senate but simply as legislation to be
(35) passed by both houses of Congress.
The Lone Wolf decision ended this
era of formal negotiation and finally
did away with what had increasingly
become the empty formality of obtain-
ing tribal consent.
Q14:
As an element in the argument presented by the author of the passage, the reference to Blue Clark’s study of the Lone Wolf case serves primarily to
E. introduce a view about the Lone Wolf decision that the author will expand upon
答案是E,我没有什莫头绪,请牛牛指教!
赫赫,这道题目当时我也做错了!当时我选了A,struggle了好久啊!呵呵,不知道MM选了那个啊?
这道题型是典型的in order to,问作者提及Blue Clark’s study of the Lone Wolf case得目的何在? 首先我们分析一下文章的逻辑层次:首先说高院反驳了印第安部落的要求。然后提到了BC这个人对这个case得研究:他正确的强调了什莫什莫,但是没有意识到这个决定的深远影响。接着剩下的部分长篇累牍的描述深远影响。所以我们可以看出来,深远影响的描述才是文章的重点,而BC这个人研究的评价只是一个引子,为了引出对深远影响得描述作铺垫。
我们在看一下选项:只有E刚好表达这个意思。A比较具有混淆性。但是A不对,尽管BC没有意识到深远影响,但是作者的意图并不在于说明学者们没有足够重视这段时期。而且这一点也不能有文中推出,即不能由BC没有意识到深远影响-->学者们没有足够重视这段时期,没有其他学者的信息,但是BC不足以说明这个问题。
由此可见,理解文章的逻辑层次是多末的重要。请从文章的逻辑层次着手。
明白啦,太感谢了!
理解文章确实逻辑层次最重要了,我现在的问题就是似乎文章看懂了,但是题就是做不对,估计应该还是逻辑层次把握不好,真不知道应该怎魔办啊,苦恼ing~

谢谢而今的精彩解释!
而今的解释太棒了,多谢!
谢谢!
另外做in order to题的时候,要注意上下文
这题也可以从作者提到BC后紧跟的一句话推出:
But he fails to note
the decision’s more far-reaching
(15) impact: 后面一堆是作者重心
E.“introduce a view about the Lone Wolf decision that the author will expand upon”
我觉得E的不足在于,E认为author will expand upon 的就是这个BC的view,事实上,我承认BC的view是一个引子,但只是引出作者说”he fails to… …”,然后作者开始阐述后面一堆BC fails to 的东西,所以,作者并不是在BC的view上面expand upon,而是另起炉灶重点阐述别的东西。
我还是觉得A好。因为作者阐述的是BC没有发觉的东西,所以说明BC这样的scholar曾经对这个Lone Wolf paid attention to, 但是inadequate! 非常完美的答案啊,为什么会有歧义呢?
