The decline of the Iroquois Indian nations began during the American Revolution of 1776, when disagreement among them as to whether they should become involved in the war began to divide the Iroquois. Because of the success of the revolutionaries and the encroachment upon Iroquois lands that followed, many Iroquois resettled in Canada, while those who remained behind lost the respect they had enjoyed among other Indian nations. The introduction of distilled spirits resulted in widespread alcoholism, leading in turn to the rapid decline of both the culture and population. The influence of the Quakers impeded, yet in another sense contributed, to this decline. By establishing schools for the Iroquois and by introducing them to modern technology for agriculture and husbandry, the Quakers instilled in the Iroquois some hope for the future yet undermined the Iroquois’ sense of national identity. Ironically, it was Handsome Lake who can be credited with reviving the Iroquois culture. Lake, the alcoholic half-brother of Seneca Cornplanter, perhaps the most outspoken proponent among the Iroquois for assimilation of white customs and institutions, was a former member of the Great Council of Iroquois nations. Inspired by a neardeath vision in 1799, Lake established a new religion among the Iroquois, which tied the more useful aspects of Christianity to traditional Indian beliefs and customs.

1. The passage mentions all the following events as contributing to the decline of the Iroquois culture EXCEPT:
(A) new educational opportunities for the Iroquois people.
(B) divisive power struggles among the leaders of the Iroquois nations.
(C) introduction of new farming technologies.
(D) territorial threats against the Iroquois nations.
(E) discord among the nations regarding their role in the American Revolution.

2. Among the following reasons, it is most likely that the author considers Handsome Lake’s leading a revival of the Iroquois culture to be “ironic” because
(A) he was a former member of the Great Council.
(B) he was not a full-blooded relative of Seneca Cornplanter.
(C) he was related by blood to an important proponent of assimilation.
(D) Seneca Cornplanter was Lake’s alcoholic half-brother.
(E) his religious beliefs conflicted with traditional Iroquois beliefs.

3. Assuming that the reasons asserted by the author for the decline of the Iroquois culture are historically representative of the decline of cultural minorities, which of the following developments would most likely contribute to the demise of a modern-day ethnic minority?
(A) A bilingual education program in which children who are members of the minority group learn to read and write in both their traditional language and the language prevalent in the present culture.
(B) A tax credit for residential property owners who lease their property to members of the minority group.
(C) Increased efforts by local government to eradicate the availability of illegal drugs.
(D) The declaration of a national holiday commemorating a past war in which the minority group played an active role.
(E) A government-sponsored program to assist minority owned businesses in using computer technology to improve efficiency.

论点1——原因1+原因2+原因3+原因4——转折...论点2+原因1
文章内容
易洛魁文化衰落——内部斗争+土地被占领丢失尊严+蒸馏酒+贵格会——但是讽刺的是复兴易洛魁的人是莱克——他是主张同化人的兄弟
作者的态度的意图
说明易洛魁文化的衰落原因与复兴过程
反思
第二题坐错的主要原因是当时没有读懂长难句“Lake, the alcoholic half-brother of Seneca Cornplanter, perhaps the most outspoken proponent among the Iroquois for assimilation of white customs and institutions, was a former member of the Great Council of Iroquois nations. ”，从perhaps其实是对Seneca Cornplanter 的描述，以为是对lake的描述，所以没有找到讽刺的地方是哪里。其实这种问哪里讽刺和之前问矛盾的题目由相似之处，都是要在联系中找到对立的内容，比如这个题，联系就是两个人是兄弟，但是主张却完全相反，以后就算看不懂长难句，也应该有这种在“联系中找矛盾”的意识。
