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.
Which of the following statements is true of the Hawaiian natives?
选项
A、Their life is worse than that of other Hawaiian minority groups.
B、They are the only native group without sovereignty.
C、Sixty percent of them are homeless or unemployed.
D、Their life span is 5 years shorter than average Americans.
答案
B
解析
根据题干Hawaiian natives定位于第2段。第2段末句中the only…without some degree of autonomy表明夏威夷土著是唯一没有任何自主权的种族,因此选项B为正确的说法。第2段第1句将夏威夷土著的生活与other ethnic groups作对比,而不是与other Hawaiian minority groups(少数民族)作对比,因此选项A不正确;选项C的60%这个数字所涵盖的范围,与第2段第2句的陈述不相符;第2段第2句指出夏威夷土著的寿命比average Hawaiians短,并非与average Americans作对比,因此,选项D也不对。
