1、Opposition to telescopes on Mauna Kea is nothing new.A small but vocal group of Hawaians and environmentalist have long viewed their presence as disrespect for sacred land and a painful reminder of the occupation of what was once a sovereign nation.（節(jié)選自2017年考研英語(yǔ)一Text2）

【題目】

The construction of the TMT is opposed by some locals partly because____.

[A] it may risk ruining their intellectual life.

[B]it reminds them of a humiliating history.

[C]their culture will lose a chance of revival.

[D]they fear losing control of Mauna Kea.

【解析】根據(jù)題干the construction of TMT和opposed，some locals定位至第三段一句，但是*一句只是一個(gè)事實(shí)，沒(méi)有說(shuō)明原因。接著往第二句看，可以看到題干中some locals對(duì)應(yīng)原文中small but vocal group of Hawaiians and environmentalists，題干中the construction of TMT就是對(duì)應(yīng)原文中的their presence，即天文望遠(yuǎn)鏡的存在，答案即為as之后的信息，as disrespect for sacred land and a painful reminder of the occupation of what was once a sovereign nation，即當(dāng)?shù)厝税阉麄兊拇嬖诳醋魇菍?duì)于這片神圣土地的一種不尊重以及對(duì)于這片曾經(jīng)是一個(gè)主權(quán)國(guó)家的占領(lǐng)的一種痛苦提示，故B選項(xiàng)it reminds them of a humiliating history**照應(yīng)了原文a painful reminder of the occupation of what was once a sovereign nation，為正確答案。

2、The astronomy community is making compromises to change its use of Mauna Kea. The TMT site was chosen to minimize the telescope's 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 atthe 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.（節(jié)選自2017年考研英語(yǔ)一Text2）

【題目】

The author's attitude toward choosing Mauna Kea as the TMT site is one of ___.

[A] severe criticism.

[B] passive acceptance.

[C] slight hesitancy.

[D] full approval.

【解析】一般最后一段凸顯作者的態(tài)度。最后一段前三句話都在講具體事實(shí)，而最后一句話There is no reason why everyone cannot be welcomed on Mauna Kea to embrace their cultural heritage and to study the stars，雙重否定表示作者認(rèn)為任何人都有理由去欣然接受他們的文化遺產(chǎn)并同時(shí)可以去研究星空，故選項(xiàng)Dfull approval完全贊同是正確答案。
