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. "
The author’s attitude towards the future of Brazilian museum fire prevention is_________.
选项
A、empathetic
B、cautious
C、optimistic
D、disappointed
答案
C
解析
态度题。文章的第一段和第二段对巴西博物馆近期发生的一场火灾进行了描述,第三段介绍巴西的博物馆经常遭受火灾,最后两段对巴西政府和研究人员采取的行动进行了介绍。根据文章最后两段的“The collections are leaving the darkness”和“we know the mistakes to avoid,we have a way to act,we have a methodology”等话语可以得出,作者对于巴西博物馆的未来火灾防控还是有一定的信心的。因此作者整体持乐观态度,故选项[C]正确。
