Researchers in Brazil are sifting through the ashes of a fire that destroyed part of a museum in the southeastern state of Minas Gerais on 15 June. The blaze follows repeated warnings about fire risks at museums, and comes less than two years after a massive fire destroyed the prized National Museum in Rio de Janeiro. The latest fire has reopened wounds in the research community and intensified a national conversation about the need to protect Brazil’s cultural and scientific heritage.
Mariana Lacerda, a geographer at the Federal University of Minas Gerais (UFMG) in Belo Horizonte, received a disturbing Monday-morning call; a building at the university’s Natural History Museum and Botanical Garden, which she’d directed for almost a year, was in flames. When she arrived on the scene, smoke was still coming out of the building.
Brazilian museums have faced a series of fires, often resulting in irreparable losses, says Carolina Vilas Boas, director of museum processes at the Brazilian Institute of Museums in Brasilia. At least 12 buildings of cultural or scientific significance have burnt in the country, many of them in the past 10 years. But the full extent of the damage is hard to know, says Vilas Boas, because reporting is probably incomplete. Brazil is not unique in losing heritage institutions to fire, she says, but the country does have a poor record in taking care of its museums. Often, fire-prevention systems are installed, but budgets are too thin to maintain them properly. " There are many actions being taken to mitigate this risk," she says, but recurring economic crises have hindered long-term planning.
Some protective policies already exist. In 2017, the southern state of Parana established norms and guidelines for the recognition of biological collections, defining who has responsibility for them, and putting in place objectives and goals to expand them and provide maintenance. Last year, the policy helped researchers to convince the government of Parana to allocate two million reais (US $370,000) for
the state’s collections over the next three years.It’s not a lot of money, but it’s a solid start, says Marinoni: "The collections are leaving the darkness. "
National Museum researchers have teamed up with Lacerda to advise on the recovery of items that might still be salvageable. "Unfortunately, we are now experts in this matter," says palaeontologist Alexander Kellner, director of the National Museum. "We went through it. We know the mistakes to avoid, we have a way to act, we have a methodology. "
According to Paragraph 3, Brazilian museums_________.
选项
A、suffered huge losses in the last 10 years
B、are equipped with poor fire-prevention systems
C、haven’t take any actions to tackle the fire risk
D、were influenced by economic crisis
答案
A
解析
细节题。根据题干提示可定位至第三段。该段第二句说“At least 12 buildings of cultural or scientific significance have burnt in the country,many of them in the past 10 years”,选项[A]是对原文的同义替换,故为正确答案。第五句提到“fire-prevention systems are installed,but budgets are too thin to maintain them properly”,原文说的是博物馆有防火系统,但是维护很差,选项[B]与原文不符,错误。最后一句前半句说“There are many actions being taken to mitigate this risk”,可以得知采取了许多措施来解决风险,因此选项[C]与原文不符,错误。根据最后一句后半句“but recurring economic crises have hindered long-term planning”可知,博物馆的藏品维护规划受到了经济危机的影响,而不是博物馆本身,因此选项[D]属于张冠李戴,错误。
