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 says "the latest fire has reopened wounds" because______.
选项
A、museums received repeated warnings about fire risks before
B、the fire stimulated a dated topic among research groups
C、museums lost valuable collections in the latest fire
D、some researchers got wounded in the fire
答案
B
解析
推断题。根据题干中的the latest fire has reopened wounds可定位至第一段最后一句“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”,即“最近的火灾重新揭开了研究界的伤口,并推动了关于要求保护巴西文化和科学遗产的全同性对话”,由此可以推知,巴西博物馆的藏品保护问题曾经被谈论过,但是并没有解决,因此这次火灾重新揭开了伤口,故选项[B]正确。选项[A]是事实,但与题目无关,属于张冠李戴,错误。选项[C]和原文不符合,原文并没有说这次火灾使博物馆失去了珍贵藏品。选项[D]属于主观臆断,原文并没有提及人员受伤。
