1、"The ancient Hawaians were astronomers,"wrote Queen Liliuokalani, Hawai's last reigning monarch, in 1897. Star watchers were among the most esteemed members of Hawaian 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 humanity's view of the cosmos.（节选自2017年考研英语一Text2）
【题目】
1.Queen Liliuokalani's remark in Paragraph 1 indicates
[A] its conservative view on the historical role of astronomy.
[B] the importance of astronomy in ancient Hawaian society.
[C] the regrettable decline of astronomy in ancient times.
[D] her appreciation of star watchers' feats in her time.
【解析】例证题。根据题干Queen Liliuokalani和Paragraph1定位*一段*一句话，因为*一句为人物引言，是论据，应该往引言之后找其传达的观点，文中看到star watchers were among the most esteemed members of Hawaiian society，观星宿者是夏威夷社会中最为受人尊敬的角色，可以看出天文学家在当时社会中很受重视，故B选项the importance of astronomy in ancient Hawaian society古夏威夷社会中天文学的重要性为正确答案。
2、At issue is the TMT' s planned location on Mauna Kea,a dormant volcano worshiped by some Hawaians as the piko, that connects the Hawaian Islands to the heavens. But Mauna Kea is also home to some of the world's most powerful telescopes. Rested in the Pacific Ocean, Mauna Kea's peak rises above the bulk of our planet's dense atmosphere, where conditions allow telescopes to obtain images of unsurpassed clarity.（节选自2017年考研英语一Text2）
【题目】
2. Mauna Kea is deemed as an ideal astronomical site due to____ .
[A] its geographical features
[B] its protective surroundings.
[C] its religious implications.
[D] its existing infrastructure.
【解析】根据题干Mauna Kea和考研出题顺序性原则确定27题应该在第二段话当中。第二段可以看到转折词but，一般转折之后是答案所在。转折之后最后一句话Mauna Kea's peak rises above the bulk of our planet's dense atmosphere，where conditions allow telescopes to obtain images of unsurpassed clarity，Mauna Kea的山峰远远升到我们星球的浓密的大气层之上，在那里地质条件允许天文望远镜去获取具有无**比的清晰度的图像，可以看出Mauna Kea是一个理想地点的原因是Mauna Kea's peak，故A选项its geographical features其地质特征为正确答案。
