21(C)
主旨大意题the main idea
开篇提出the Dawes Act详细内容,接着Two main reasons,然后开始质疑However, both of these arguments bear only on the transfer of Native American lands to non-Native Americans,并进一步提出自己对the Dawes Act目的的看法an interest-group model often provides an explanationß the BIA bureaucrats.
只有选项(C)
“The Dawes Act’s restriction on the right of Native Americans to sell their land may have been implemented primarily to serve the interests of politicians and bureaucrats.”对作者的看法描述最为妥当
22(C)
关键词为“the author’s view of politicians”,寻找关键词句
“an interest-group model”“one clearly defined group did benefit: the BIA bureaucrats”
“politicians tend to favor the growth of governmental bureaucracy because such growth provides increased opportunity for the exercise of political patronage”选项必须涉及bureaucrats利益方面才可以
“Politicians believed that allotment’s continuation would not enhance their opportunities to exercise patronage”
23(D)
“the organization of the passage”根据第21题分析,选项(D)为最佳匹配选项
“A law is described, the rationale put forward for one of its clauses is outlined and dismissed, and a different rationale for the clause is presented”
24(E)
“The author’s attitude”,根据第21题分析,可以看出作者的反对态度,即
“highly skeptical”
25(B)
根据“true of Native American life immediately before passage of the Dawes Act”定位原文
“A second objection to free alienation was that Native Americans were unaccustomed to, and did not desire, a system of private landownership. Their custom, it was said, favored communal use of land”官方理由表明“非a system of private landownership”是事实
即“Not many Native Americans personally owned the land on which they lived.”
26(B)
根据“initially”“after a 25-year period”两者在“the type of ownership obtainable”上的区别,而且问题落在“after a 25-year period”,定位原文
“The act allotted plots of 80 acres to each Native American adult. However, the Native Americans were not granted outright title to their lands.”“After the 25-year period, the Native American allottee would receive a “fee patent” awarding full legal ownership of the land.”可以看出
“owners of land to sell it”是区别
27(D)
根据“the true motivation for the passage of the Dawes Act”定位原文
“When stated rationales for government policies prove empty, using an interest-group model often provides an explanation. While neither Native Americans nor the potential non-Native American purchasers benefited from the restraint on alienation contained in the Dawes Act, one clearly defined group did benefit: the BIA bureaucrats”
同前面相同,重点在于bureaucrats利益
“The legislators who voted in favor of the Dawes Act were heavily influenced by BIA bureaucrats.”
