28. 答案【B】it reminds them of a humiliating history.

　　解析：本題目屬于原因細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)題干關(guān)鍵詞the construction of the TMT以及opposed by some locals定位到第四段第二句，這里提到a painful reminder of the occupation of what was once a sovereign nation，對曾經(jīng)主權(quán)國家遭占領(lǐng)的痛苦提醒。選項B中的remind 是原文的原詞復(fù)現(xiàn)，a humiliating history(令人恥辱的歷史)是對the occupation of what was once a sovereign nation 的同義轉(zhuǎn)化及總結(jié)概括。

　　29. 答案【C】may uncover the origin of Hawaiian culture.

　　解析：本題目屬于細(xì)節(jié)推斷題。根據(jù)題干定位到第5段，關(guān)鍵詞progress in today’s astronomy再第五段中沒有。此種情況下，考慮段落中心，即本段的段首，段尾及轉(zhuǎn)這句。先看首句無答案，看本段尾句提到，或許那就是我們探索星際空間的原因，好像會回答有關(guān)我們自己及我們真正祖先的最原始回答。選項C首先may是對原文as if的解讀，uncover 同義替換answer，the origin of Hawaiian culture是原文ourselves and our true ancestral homes的同義轉(zhuǎn)化。干擾項A的dreams本段中沒有，干擾項B的Hawaiian culture本段有提及，但未指出across the world，干擾項D的soften hostility屬于過度推斷。

　　30. 答案【D】full approval

　　解析：第一段第二句 Sadly, all is not well with astronomy in Hawaii today.意思是，可悲的是，夏威夷現(xiàn)在的天文學(xué)不太妙。所以，對于現(xiàn)在夏威夷天文學(xué)不太妙的處境，作者用了一個sadly來形容，明明白白地表達(dá)了他的藍(lán)瘦香菇。而夏威夷現(xiàn)在不太妙的處境具體指什么?在下一句清楚地說明了Protests have erupted over construction of the Thirty Meter Telescope (TMT), a giant observatory that promises to revolutionize humanity's view of the cosmos意思是我們要搞個巨牛的望遠(yuǎn)鏡，你們居然不同意!所以兩句結(jié)合一塊，作者的態(tài)度就明白了，他是支持建望遠(yuǎn)鏡的。在最后一段的最后一句里也有作者態(tài)度的線索 There is no reason why everyone cannot be welcomed on Mauna Kea to embrace their cultural heritage and to study the stars.意思是說有人跑到你們那兒去，接受你們的文化遺產(chǎn)，去看星星看月亮，你們?yōu)槊�不歡迎?咳咳，正經(jīng)點兒說，就是用了no reason和cannot雙重否定既強調(diào)又強調(diào)，還帶點兒不可置信地趕腳說夏威夷人應(yīng)該歡迎每一個到他們那兒去研究天文，并且欣賞他們的文化遺產(chǎn)cultural heritage的每一個人everyone。具體到這篇文章，他們的文化遺產(chǎn)在第五段和第一段都有說，就是天文研究，而每一個人當(dāng)然應(yīng)該包括這些想建天文望遠(yuǎn)鏡的人。所以作者的態(tài)度旗幟鮮明，就是全力支持。所以正確答案是D。

　　Text 3

　　Robert F. Kennedy once said that a country's GDP measures “everything except that which makes life worthwhile.” With Britain voting to leave the European Union, and GDP already predicted to slow as a result, it is now a timely moment to assess what he was referring to.

　　The question of GDP and its usefulness has annoyed policymakers for over half a century. Many argue that it is a flawed concept. It measures things that do not matter and misses things that do. By most recent measures, the UK’s GDP has been the envy of the Western world, with record low unemployment and high growth figures. If everything was going so well, then why did over 17 million people vote for Brexit, despite the warnings about what it could do to their country’s economic prospects?

　　A recent annual study of countries and their ability to convert growth into well-being sheds some light on that question. Across the 163 countries measured, the UK is one of the poorest performers in ensuring that economic growth is translated into meaningful improvements for its citizens. Rather than just focusing on GDP, over 40 different sets of criteria from health, education and civil society engagement have been measured to get a more rounded assessment of how countries are performing.

　　While all of these countries face their own challenges, there are a number of consistent themes. Yes, there has been a budding economic recovery since the 2008 global crash, but in key indicators in areas such as health and education, major economies have continued to decline. Yet this isn’t the case with all countries. Some relatively poor European countries have seen huge improvements across measures including civil society, income equality and environment.

　　This is a lesson that rich countries can learn: When GDP is no longer regarded as the sole measure of a country’s success, the world looks very different.
