commentators believe that this change

had already occurred in 1871  由此可见选E为妙。B的观点是驳斥Many commentators 的。

Maggiewjy

同意laywer...properly表明BC对于congress power的正态度。因此是支持的

C选项与“ 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-”这句话完全对应啊

Q15:

According to the passage, which of the following resulted from the Lone Wolf decision?

1. The Supreme Court took on a greater role in Native American affairs.
   
   
2. Native American tribes lost their legal standing as sovereign nations in their dealings with the federal government, but their ownership of tribal lands was confirmed.
   
   
3. The federal government no longer needed to conclude a formal agreement with a Native American tribe in order to carry out policy decisions that affected the tribe.
   
   
4. The federal government began to appropriate tribal lands for distribution to non-Indian settlers.
   
   
5. Native American tribes were no longer able to challenge congressional actions by appealing to the Supreme Court.

哎，又是一道有争议的题目，ETS把偶们折腾死了。。。

偶这题做的时候在C,E之间犹豫了很久，选的是C.总结的时候看了这么多大家的讨论，虽然lawyer gg分析得很有道理，但是我还是觉得C对。

理由1，E太绝对了吧？前面有几位mm提到的，那是不是说所有的有关native americans的事务都不能向高院去appeal啦？应该不会吧？

理由2，再来看看C, "...no longer needed to conclude a formal agreement..."，说明federal government非正式地还是在听取native americans 的意见的呀，只不过federal government 不需要formal agreement 罢了。  （美国政府double standard的例子应该不止这一个吧？呵呵。）

以前很迷信lawyer的，但是想了半天他的话，我还是觉得最终的结果是结束了正式谈判，那也就是“no longer need”了。还是选c

这句不是说明没有足够重视嘛?

14题我也选的A。严重同意rivergirl

选C：几乎是原文重现（请注意以下高亮部分，对应相同着色）：

Q15: According to the passage, which of the following resulted from the Lone Wolf decision?

C。The federal government no longer needed to conclude a formal agreement with a Native American tribe in order to carry out policy decisions that affected the tribe.

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.  

针对lawyer所说no longer 修饰needed的语义错误，我认为原文中（如上）说明了该法案后，政府已经把曾经prerequisite (=选项中的needed）的agreement彻度抛弃，即：从那时起，原本的必需已经不再必须了。

C。

大家讨论的好仔细呀, 汗.............

lawyer, 对E我有个疑问: the Court’s assertion of a virtually unlimited unilateral power of Congress over Native American affairs. 不知你注意这个virtually了没?我觉着这件案子土著人败诉, 实质上是高院认为国会在土著事务中有绝对的单方面的权利. 但高院并没有这样的裁定, 高院裁定的是个案的胜诉, 只能以事论事, 应该不能就此裁定国会在所有的土著事务中都有绝对的单方面的权利. 所以我想土著人有别的事,还是应该可以再上告到高院, 再chanllage国会, 虽然必败, 但我们不能说土著人no longer able to do this.

我是个法盲,不知道说得对不对,你再看看)

分析的很好，赞同。

definately C. In reality the function of the Supreme Court is to check the action of the other branches of the American political system which was the intent of the Founding Fathers, i.e. seperation of powers. If E was correct, both the power of indian tribes and that of the Court would be denuded.

呵呵，这是从法理上进行了最深刻的反驳了，顶。
