26.?queen liliuokalani’s remark in paragraph 1 indicates
[a] the importance of astronomy?in ancient hawaiian society.
[b] her conservative?view on the historical role of astronomy.
[c] the regrettable decline of astronomy in ancient times.
[d] her appreciation of star watchers’ feats in her time.
【精准定位】①句直引利留卡拉尼女王之言“古代夏威夷人都是天文学家”,顺藤摸瓜,②句随后解释“古代夏威夷社会观星师极受尊敬”。sadly,在这里表转折,相当于but.后面与①句没有关系。答案是②star watchers were among?the most esteemed?members of hawaiian society的同意转换。
feat?[fi?t]n.功绩
conservative:opposed to great or sudden social change; showing that you prefer traditional styles and values
appreciate?[??pri??ie?t]欣赏(ap一再+preci价值+ate表动词→一再给价→欣赏)
① wrote queen liliuokalani, hawaiis last reigning monarch, in 1897. ②star watchers were among the most esteemed members of?hawaiian society. sadly, all is not well with astronomy in hawaii today. protests have erupted over construction of the thirty meter telescope(tmt), a giant observatory that promises to revolutionize humanitys view of the cosmos.
“古夏威夷人都是天文学家”,夏威夷最后一位统治君主——利留卡拉尼女王在1897年写道。观星人曾经是夏威夷社会中最受人敬重的群体。但可悲的是,夏威夷如今的天文学却发展地不那么好。三十米望远镜(简称tmt)是一座巨型天文观测台,它有望彻底改变人类对宇宙的认知,它的修建遭到了人们的抗议。

[d] its existing infrastructure.
?
at issue is the tmts planned?location?on mauna kea, a dormant volcano worshiped?by some hawaiians as?the piko , that connects the hawaiian islands to?the heavens.?but?mauna kea is also home to some of the worlds dense atmosphere,?where conditions?allow telescopes to obtain images of?unsurpassed clarity.

争论的焦点是三十米望远镜选址位于莫纳克亚山。莫纳克亚这座休眠火山,被一些夏威夷人奉为连接夏威夷岛和天堂的脐带。它是被一些夏威夷人信奉为“piko”(夏威夷本地语言中代表着“大海的浪花”,“冲浪运动”,并引申有“阳光”,“生命”,“健康”等含义)的休眠火山。但是莫纳克亚山也是世界上一些功能最强大的天文望远镜的坐落之地。高栖于太平洋之中,莫纳克亚山的最高点不受地球稠密的大气层的响,那里的条件使得望远镜能够获取无比清晰的图像。

?
【句子讲解】本句是复合句。
主句采用了倒装语序,由“表语( at issue)+系动词(is)+主语(the tmt从句中,that代替先行词piko作主语,谓语是 connects…to,宾语是the?hawaiian islands, the heavens.
?
rested in the pacific ocean, mauna keas dense atmosphere, where conditions allow telescopes to obtain images of unsurpassed clarity.高栖于太平洋之中,莫纳克亚山的最高点不受地球稠密的大气层的影响,那里的条件使得望远镜能够获取无比清晰的图像。
主句由“主语( mauna keaspeak+谓语(rises above)+宾语the bulk of our planet主语( conditions)+谓语(allow)+宾语( telescopes)+宾语补足语( to obtain images)”构成,介词短活 of unsurpassed clarity作 images的后置定语。
?
28. the construction of the tmt?is opposed by some locals?partly because
[a] it may risk ruining their intellectual life.
[b] they fear losing control of mauna kea.
[c] their culture will lose a chance of revival.
[d] it reminds them of a humiliating history.
?
opposition to telescopes on mauna kea is nothing new. a small but vocal group of hawaiians and environments have long viewed their presence as?disrespect for sacred land and a painful reminder of the occupation of what was once a sovereign nation.
sovereign[?s?vr?n]君主; 最高统治者,主权(sove=solvevt.解决;reign统治)
disrespect [?d?sr??spekt] n.失礼,无礼;(dis=away;respect尊敬)
“反对在莫纳克亚山建造天文望远镜已经不是什么新鲜事了。长久以来,少数夏威夷人和环保主义者把那些天文望远镜看作是对那片神圣土地的亵渎,并且会使人们想起这个曾经的主权国家被占领的惨痛回忆。
some blame for the current controversy belongs to astronomers. in their eagerness to build bigger telescopes, they forgot that science is?not?the only way of understanding the world. they did not always prioritize the protection of mauna kea it is a living culture undergoing a renaissance today.

?
当前争议的部分责任归于天文学家.他们渴望建造更为大型的望远镜,却忘记了科学并非是探知世界的唯一途径。他们并未优先考虑保护其脆弱的生态环境以及其对岛上居民的神圣意义。夏威夷文化并非过去的遗迹它是当前正在复兴的鲜活的文化。
29. it can be inferred from paragraph 5 that progress in today’s astronomy ?
[a] is fulfilling the dreams of ancient hawaiians.
[b] helps spread hawaiian culture across the world.
[c] may uncover the origin of hawaiian culture.
[d] will eventually soften hawaiians’ hostility.
yet?science has a cultural history, too, with roots going back to the dawn of civilization. the same curiosity to find what lies beyond the horizon that first brought early polynesians to hawaiis shores inspires astronomers today to explore the heavens. calls to disassemble all telescopes on mauna kea or to ban future development there?ignore the reality?that astronomy and hawaiian culture both seek to answer big questions about who we are, where we come from and where we are going. perhaps that is why we explore the starry skies, as if answering a primal calling to know ourselves and our true ancestral homes.
但是科学也有文化史,其根源要追溯到文明的开端。探索地平线以外世界的求知欲最先把早期波利尼西亚人带至夏威夷海岸,也正是这种求知欲激励着当今的天文学家去探索天空.人们对拆除莫纳克亚山上所有的望远镜或禁止在那里进一步开发的呼吁忽视了这样一个现实——天文学和夏威夷文化都试图回答关于我们是谁,我们从哪儿来以及要到哪儿去这样的重要问题。或许这就是我们要探索星空的原因,就好像是在回应一个原始召唤,即了解我们自己和我们的祖先的真正家园。

[a] severe criticism.
[b] full approval.
[c] passive acceptance.
[d] slight hesitancy.?(hes=stick,表示it=go)
the astronomy community is making compromises to change its use of mauna kea. the tmt site was chosen to minimize the telescopes visibility around the island and to avoid archaeological and environmental impact. to limit the number of telescopes on mauna kea, old ones will be removed at the end of their lifetimes and their sites returned to a natural state. there is no reason why everyone cannot be welcomed on mauna kea to embrace their cultural heritage and to study the stars.
天文学界正在为改变其对莫纳克亚山的利用而做出妥协。三十米望远镜的选址将最大程度降低望远镜在岛屿与四周的能见度,同时避免对考古和环境造成的影响。为了限制莫纳克亚山上望远镜的数量,之前建立的望远镜在其使用寿命结束后将会被移除,它们的建造地也会被恢复成自然状态。没有理由不欢迎人们去莫纳克亚山拥抱他们的文化遗产并研究星体。
