A
The Home of My People

When Lewis and Clark stepped onto the Weippe Prairie in present-day Idaho in September 1805, they met the Nez Perce Indians. In the following years, the white explorers（探险者）began to fight with the Indians for their land. Some Nez Perce chiefs signed agreements with the U.S. government, selling part of their lands. But the government always broke those agreements and demanded more land.
Other chiefs refused to go along with the government’s plans. The most famous was Chief Joseph, whose people lived in the Wallowa Valley（present-day Oregon）.
“In order to have all people understand how much land we owned, ”he once explained, “my father planted poles around it and said: ‘Inside is the home of my people…It circled around the graves（坟墓）of our fathers, and we will never give up these graves to any man. ’”
But in 1874, the U.S. government declared the valley open for white settlement and ordered the Nez Perce onto a reservation（保留地）. Seeing that resistance was useless, Chief Joseph agreed to move.
Later, fighting broke out between the Nez Perce and U.S. soldiers. Chief Joseph tried to lead his people to Canada, winning several battles against the soldiers during their flight. But finally, he was forced to give in.

Answer 1

56、D识图题。图中五边形的阴影部分代表“Nez Perce Reservation”，四个选项只有D项位于其中南部。答案D。
57、细节判断题。题目问的是“从地图上看出有关Nez Perce lands”的情况，结合文章第一句中“in present-day Idaho”的介绍可以得知该地并不在Oregon的领地，选项A错；根据图例可以看出，Chief Looking Glass Camp为一处Historic site，而不是整个阴影地区（Nez Perce land），选项B错；根据地图示意，结合第二段第二句“in the Wallowa Valley(present-day Oregon)”可知，Nez Perce land并不在Oregon，选项D错。地图图例中的第二项告诉我们，该地区原来范围很大，但现在只有阴影部分了，变得小多了，所以只有C才是正确答案。
58、从他所解释的言语和行为中不难看出他们保护土地的决心：这样做做的目的是要申明该土地为他们世代所有，他们也绝对不会让任何人拥有。答案B。
