The ancient Hawaiians were astronomers, L这个女王写的,这位女王是夏威夷的后一位reigning monarch君王,
Star watchers were among the most esteemed members of 夏威夷的society.
Sadly 下面就是转折啦,all is not well with astronomy in 夏威夷的 today.
Protests have erupted爆发 over construction of the TMT, a giant observatory天文台 that promises to revolutionize humanity’s of the cosmos宇宙 一段的段落大意也是文章的中心思想。
At issue is the TMT’s planned location on MK这个地方,dormant休眠的 volcano 死火山,worshiped崇拜的 by some夏威夷人 as the piko脐带,that connects the 夏威夷 和heavens天堂。
But MK也是home of the world’s most powerful telescopes望透视
Rested in 太平洋,MK的 peak rises above the bulk of our planet’s dense atmosphere大气层,这里的条件allow telescopes to obtain images of unsurpassed无以比的 clarity清晰。
前两段下来,前两个题目的答案都有了。
26题女王的话indicates:
Conservative view保守观点 On the historical role历史上的角色 of astronomy
The importance of astronomy in ancient 夏威夷society 天文学的重要性,就是这一个,古代人很,对比现代人反而坚决反对,还不如古代人
The regrettable decline of遗憾的衰落,这一个迷惑性大,但是重点是说现代人的态度而不是天文学的衰落
Her appreciation of star watchers’feats in her time 对star watchers的欣赏,没这回事,说star watchers是社会的重要角色,而不是说女王欣赏不欣赏的。
27题,MK 被认为是ideal astronomical site是due to :
原文中说MK’s peak rises above the bulk of our planet’s dense atmosphere,山顶高耸入云,说明是地理位置好。看答案正好有its geographical features地理特征,其它的都是胡说,protective surroundings保护环境,religious implications宗教含义,没这事,existing infrastructure基础设施。这个送分的题。
Opposition to telescopes on MKis nothing new.反对这个事的也并非是什么新鲜事。A small but vocal公开反对的group,这个集团and environmentalists have long viewed their presence他们展现的 as disrespect for sacred land不尊重神圣的土地,and a painful reminder of the occupation of被占领的痛苦的回忆,what was once a sovereign nation他们曾经作为一个sovereign nation 。
28题opposed by some locals partly because:
这一段说了两个原因,一个是disrespect for sacred land ,另一个是 a painful reminder of the occupation of what was once a sovereign nation。四个答案may risk ruining their intellectual life毁坏他们的精神生活,
reminds them of a humiliating history提醒他们羞辱的历史
Culture will lose a chance of revival失去文化的复兴
Fear losing control of MK害怕失去对MK的控制
对照原文不难选出,就是细节的把握,考虑到考试的时间有限,精神紧张,不一定能注意what was once的时态,是过去的事情,而不是当下失去控制。
Some blame for the current controversy争论争议 belongs to astronomers.
他们只想着eagerness渴望 to build bigger telescopes,they forgot that science is not the only way of understanding the world.
他们并不总是prioritize优先考虑的the protection of MK的fragile ecosystems脆弱的生态系统or its holiness圣洁 to the islands’inhabitants居民
夏威夷的culture is not a relic遗迹遗风 of the past,it is a living culture undergoing a renaissance复兴的,文艺复兴就是这个词, today,
接下来这一段很麻烦,题目也难。仔细看看。
Yet 然而 science has a culture history,too,with roots going back to the dawn of civilization根植于文明的开端,dawn黎明,
The same curiosity好奇心 to find what lies beyond the horizon地平线那边 that first brought early早期过来的这个 Polynesians到夏威夷shore海岸 inspires鼓舞激励 astronomers today to explore the heavens刺激今天的天文学家们探索宇宙。
Calls to disassemble拆卸 all telescopes on MK或者to ban禁止禁令 future development there ,ignore the reality that忽视了这个事实,astronomy and 夏威夷 culture both seek to answer big questions 探索这些问题的答案,who we are,where we come from and where we are going.
Perhaps that is why we explore the starry skies漫天星空, as if answering a primal calling to know ourselves and our true ancestral homes
29题从第五段progress in today’s astronomy天文学在今天的进步,can be inferred:
Fulfilling the 古代夏威夷人的梦想
Helps spread 夏威夷文化
May uncover the origin of 夏威夷文化
Eventually soften 夏威夷的hostility敌意
