答案:26-30BABCD
26.答案[B]theimportanceofastronomyinancientHawaiiansociety.
解析:本题目为具体细节题 。根据题干中的关键词QueenLiliuokalani的remark定位到第一段的第一句,所indicate的内容是在第一段的第二句话,意思是观星者是在Hawaiian社会中最受尊重的成员。正确选项B的theimportanceofastronomy是原文starwatcherswereamongthemostesteemedmembers的总结概括 ,inancientHawaiiansociety是原文的原词出现。干扰项A的historicalrole属于原文信息的曲解,选项C的regrettabledecline未提及,过度推理 ,选项D不是inhertime,是她评论ancient的观星者。
27.答案[A]itsgeographicalfeatures.
解析:本题目为具体细节题 。根据题干中的大写字母MaunaKea,以及关键词idealastronomicalsite定位到第二段But后面的内容。But后面说MaunaKea是世界上最有力量的望远镜home。本题目问的是原因 ,定位到本段最后一句,这里提到MaunaKea的顶峰高于大部分的浓密大气层 。选项A中的geographicalfeatures就是地质特色的意思,属于同义替换。干扰项B的受保护的周边环境未提及 ,是常识性干扰选项C的宗教暗示根据本段首句worship进行干扰,不在定位句里选项D现有的基础设施未提及。
28.答案[B]itremindsthemofahumiliatinghistory.
解析:本题目属于原因细节题 。根据题干关键词theconstructionoftheTMT以及opposedbysomelocals定位到第四段第二句,这里提到apainfulreminderoftheoccupationofwhatwasonceasovereignnation ,对曾经主权国家遭占领的痛苦提醒。选项B中的remind是原文的原词复现,ahumiliatinghistory(令人耻辱的历史)是对theoccupationofwhatwasonceasovereignnation的同义转化及总结概括。
29.答案[C]mayuncovertheoriginofHawaiianculture.
解析:本题目属于细节推断题 。根据题干定位到第5段,关键词progressintoday’sastronomy再第五段中没有。此种情况下,考虑段落中心 ,即本段的段首,段尾及转这句。先看首句无答案,看本段尾句提到 ,或许那就是我们探索星际空间的原因,好像会回答有关我们自己及我们真正祖先的最原始回答 。选项C首先may是对原文asif的解读,uncover同义替换answer ,theoriginofHawaiianculture是原文ourselvesandourtrueancestralhomes的同义转化。干扰项A的dreams本段中没有,干扰项B的Hawaiianculture本段有提及,但未指出acrosstheworld ,干扰项D的softenhostility属于过度推断。
30.答案[D]fullapproval
解析:第一段第二句Sadly,allisnotwellwithastronomyinHawaiitoday.意思是,可悲的是,夏威夷现在的天文学不太妙。所以 ,对于现在夏威夷天文学不太妙的处境,作者用了一个sadly来形容,明明白白地表达了他的蓝瘦香菇 。而夏威夷现在不太妙的处境具体指什么?在下一句清楚地说明了ProtestshaveeruptedoverconstructionoftheThirtyMeterTelescope(TMT),agiantobservatorythatpromisestorevolutionizehumanity'sviewofthecosmos意思是我们要搞个巨牛的望远镜,你们居然不同意!所以两句结合一块 ,作者的态度就明白了,他是支持建望远镜的。在最后一段的最后一句里也有作者态度的线索ThereisnoreasonwhyeveryonecannotbewelcomedonMaunaKeatoembracetheirculturalheritageandtostudythestars.意思是说有人跑到你们那儿去,接受你们的文化遗产 ,去看星星看月亮,你们为毛不欢迎?咳咳,正经点儿说 ,就是用了noreason和cannot双重否定既强调又强调,还带点儿不可置信地赶脚说夏威夷人应该欢迎每一个到他们那儿去研究天文,并且欣赏他们的文化遗产culturalheritage的每一个人everyone。具体到这篇文章 ,他们的文化遗产在第五段和第一段都有说,就是天文研究,而每一个人当然应该包括这些想建天文望远镜的人 。所以作者的态度旗帜鲜明 ,就是全力支持。所以正确答案是D。
