Hawaii’s native minority is demanding a greater degree of sovereignty over its own affairs. But much of the archipelagos (群岛的) political establishment, which includes the White Americans who dominated until the Second World War and people of Japanese, Chinese and Filipino origin, is opposed to the idea.
The islands were annexed by the US in 1898 and since then Hawaii’s native peoples have fared (过着……的生活) worse than any of its other ethnic groups. They make up over 60 percent of the state’s homeless, suffer higher levels of unemployment and their life span is five years less than the average Hawaiians. They are the only major US native group without some degree of autonomy.
But a sovereignty advisory committee set up by Hawaii’s first native governor, John Waihee, has given the natives’ cause a major boost by recommending that the Hawaiian natives decided by themselves whether to reestablish a sovereign Hawaiian nation.
However, the Hawaiian natives are not united in their demands. Some just want greater autonomy within the state—as enjoyed by many American Indian natives over matters such as education. This is a position supported by the office of Hawaiian Affairs (OHA.), a state agency set up in 1978 to represent the natives’ interests and which has now become the moderate face of the native sovereignty movement. More ambitious is the Ka Lahui group, which declared itself a new nation in 1987 and wants full, official independence from the US.
But if Hawaiian natives are given greater autonomy, it is far from clear how many people this will apply to. The state authorities only count as native those people with more than 50 percent Hawaiian blood.
Native demands are not just based on political grievances (不平), though. They also want their claim on 660,000 hectares of Hawaiian crown, land (官地) to be accepted. It is on this issue that native groups are facing most opposition from the state authorities. In 1993, the state government paid the OHA US$136 million in back rent (拖欠的租金) on the crown land and many officials say that by accepting this payment the agency has given up its claim to legally own the land. The OHA has vigorously disputed this.
The office of Hawaiian Affairs most wants to support the native Hawaiians to ________.
选项
A、establish a sovereign of Hawaiian nation
B、become autonomous rather than establishing a sovereign nation
C、focus on developing economically instead of fighting politically
D、join in the local independence movement
答案
B
解析
根据题干中Hawaiian Affairs定位于第4段第3句。第4段第3句开头的This指的就是该段前两句提到的争取自治权的做法,而结合第3句说到的该组织表现温和,再对比第4句提到的争取成立主权周家的激进做法,可以推断该组织更倾向于支持争取自治权,而非建立独立的主权国家,由此可见,选项B为本题答案。选项A是其他激进组织的做法,并非OHA的主张;原文并无提及选项C中的economy和political之间的选择;本文关注的是夏威夷土著的自治权问题,而非夏威夷(包括所有夏威夷人)的独立运动,因此选项D不正确。
