Q15:

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

The Supreme Court took on a greater role in Native American affairs. 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. 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.

The federal government began to appropriate tribal lands for distribution to non-Indian settlers. Native American tribes were no longer able to challenge congressional actions by appealing to the Supreme Court.

文章中说，在 Lone Wolf 后

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.

答案显然是C，不是E，还是我理解错了，请指点

anyway, thanks!
