6.The Nez Perce Indians are a tribe that lived in the Pacific Northwest of the United States.At the time of the Lewis and Clark expedition(遠征隊),which was one of the first journeys by Americans from the Atlantic coast to the Pacific coast and back again,the Nez Perce territory(領(lǐng)土) covered about 17million acres,covering parts of Washington,Oregon,and Idaho.But that was a brief sweet history.
In September 1805,when Lewis and Clark came off the Rockies on their westward journey,the entire exploring party was hungry and ill-too weak to defend themselves.Had the Nez Perce chosen to attack them,they could have put an end to the Lewis and Clark expedition there on the banks of Clearwater River.Instead the Nez Perce welcomed the white Americans and looked after them until they made a full recovery.
Thus began a long friendship between the Nez Perce and white Americans.But white men's greed for land and gold finally broke the friendship.
In 1855Governor Isaac Stevens of Washington Territory invited the Nez Perce to a peace conference.He said there were a great many white people in the country,and many more would come.But the chief of the tribe at that time,Old Joseph,replied,"Take away your paper.I will not touch it with my hand."
Things were quiet for a while after that,but not for long.When Old Joseph died,the chiefship was passed onto Young Joseph.In the late 1870s,government officials came to order the Nez Perce to leave the Wallowa Valley and then began hard battles between the Nez Perce and the white soldiers.After the tribe had fought thirteen battles and moved 1,600miles towards Canada in an attempt to retreat (撤退) north,Young Joseph,gave in to the United States Army.Here was his famous statement,"Hear me my chiefs.I am tired; my heart is sick and sad.From where the sun now stands I will fight no more forever."
In 1885,Chief Joseph was sent along with many of his band to the Colville Reservation in Washington where Joseph continued to lead his band for another 25years,at times coming into conflict with the leaders of 11other tribes living on the reservation.

71.What is TRUE of the Lewis and Clark expedition?A
A.They were well cared for by the Nez Perce.
B.They ended their expedition on the banks of Clearwater River.
C.They started the first battle with the Nez Perce.
D.They were the first Americans to travel from the Atlantic to the Pacific.
72.What ended the friendship between the Nez Perce and the Whites?D
A.Old Joseph's proud manner.
B.The breakdown of the peace talk.
C.A growing number of white men in the land.
D.White men's increasing demand for land and gold.
73.Young Joseph gave in at last becauseC.
A.he grew older      B.he was terribly ill
C.he hated the war   D.he lost other chiefs'support
74.Which map most probably shows the path the Nez Perce took in the late 1870s?A

75.The passage might be followed by a paragraph aboutB.
A.the customs and traditions of the Nez Perce Indians
B.the last years of Chief Joseph in the Colville Reservation
C.lasting fights between the Nez Perce and the whites
D.constant conflicts between the Nez Perce and other tribes.

分析 本文是一篇歷史類文章,作者通過講述由于Lewis and Clark遠征隊的到來以及他們對土地和金子的貪婪而導致友誼破裂,之后,Young Joseph因厭惡戰(zhàn)爭而屈服.

解答 71.A     72.D   73.C     74.A   75.B
71A細節(jié)判斷題.根據(jù)文章第二段最后一句Instead the Nez Perce welcomed the white Americans and looked after them until they made a full recovery.可知他們被the Nez Perce照顧的非常好,答案為A.
72D 細節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)文章第三段第二句 But white men's greed for land and gold finally broke the friendship.可知內(nèi)茲佩爾塞人因為白人對金子和土地的貪婪而導致內(nèi)茲佩爾塞人與白人友誼的破裂,故選D.
73C細節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)文章倒數(shù)第二段最后一句I am tired; my heart is sick and sad.From where the sun now stands I will fight no more forever."可知他厭倦了戰(zhàn)爭.故答案為C.
74A細節(jié)理解題.由文章倒數(shù)第二段第三句government officials came to order the Nez Perce to leave the Wallowa Valley 可知Nez Perce最開始所在的位置是Wallowa Valley,Wallowa Valley 是位于美國的Oregon州在美國的西北角,由下文他們撤退的時候去了加拿大的北部.故答案為A.
75B邏輯推理題.由文章最后一句 at times coming into conflict with the leaders of 11 other tribes living on the reservation.可推測出接下來會講Chief Joseph 在 Colville Reservation最后幾年的事情.故答案為B.

點評 歷史類文章以說明文為主,包含部分議論文和少量記敘文,側(cè)重考查學生綜合運用語言的能力.考查方式主要為選擇題,涉及主旨大意、細節(jié)識別、推理判斷和詞匯猜測等多項技能.

"By taking out drivers,you also remove most risks of an accident,"Kendall said.He said consumers,however,may be unwilling to lose control."It may take them time to come to realize that the technology is indeed reliable,but it will have to prove itself first."
