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. "
By saying "we are now experts in this matter", Alexander Kellner implies that_________.
选项
A、they are professional in risk prevention
B、they have already gone through several fires
C、they can give suggestions on heritage recovery
D、they are specialists in fire prevention methodology
答案
B
解析
推断题。根据题干中的we are now experts in this matter可定位至第五段第二句“Unfortunately,we are now experts in this matter”,即“可悲的是,我们现在已经是火灾抢救的专家了”,这句话背后的含义是自嘲巴西的博物馆在经历了多次火灾之后,被迫成为了火灾抢救的专家,而并不代表他们真的是该领域的专家。因此选项[A]和选项[D]都理解错误,排除。选项[C]对应该段第一句“National Museum researchers have teamed up with Lacerda to advise on the recover of items that might still be salvageable”,但这句话是陈述事实,和“我们现在是这件事的专家”没有因果关系,因此错误。故本题选项[B]为正确答案。
