2017考研英语（一）真题第二篇阅读理解考的是夏威夷的天文学研究。

　　【26】参考答案：the importance of astronomy in ancient Hawaiian society. 在古代夏威夷社会天文学的重要性

　　【解析】题目是问在第一段“利留卡拉尼女王”的话表明了什么？问文章开头的句子或例子是什么意思这种题目属于例证题，例证题最重要的就是找到例子多对应的观点，按照例子与对应观点就近的原则，讲答案锁定在第一段第二句， Star watchers were among the most esteemed members of Hawaiian society. 因此答案选the importance of astronomy in ancient Hawaiian society。

　　【27】参考答案：its geographical features. 地理特色

　　【解析】题目是问莫纳克亚山是天文台址的理想场所，原因是什么？该题目属于因果细节题，按题干信息Mauna Kea和 ideal astronomical site定位到第二段，But Mauna Kea is also home to some of the world's most powerful telescopes.

　　【29】参考答案：may uncover the origin of Hawaiian culture.可能发现夏威夷文化的起源

　　【解析】本题为细节性推理题，做法等于细节题，但是要注意结合主三大命题点：首尾句，转折处和观点句。根据题干定位信息，定位到第五段前两句，因此答案选may uncover the origin of Hawaiian culture.而且，这个答案中有“may”啊。

　　【30】参考答案：full approval. 完全同意

　　【解析】此题是态度题，而且是问作者的态度，大家一定要讲作者态度和文中其他人的态度区别开，按题干定位信息将线索句定位在最后一段最后一句There is no reason why everyone cannot be welcomed on Mauna Kea to embrace their cultural heritage and to study the stars.因此答案选full approval. 完全同意。
