A、
The islands were annexed by the US in 1898 and since then Hawaii’s native peoples have fared 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 decide 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 manyAmerican Indian natives over matters such as education. This is a position supported by the Office of HawaiianAffairs (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.

网考网解析：
本题考查文中多处信息，需在原文中一一定位排除。文章第一段指出夏威夷的土著少数民族想要得到更多的自治权，但是包括Filipino origin在内的一些种族反对这一主张，所以排除B；第二段指出从1898年夏威夷岛被美国吞并开始，夏威夷土著少数民族的生存状况比其他族群都恶劣，再结合第一段中提到的美国白人及日本、中国和菲律宾后裔可知，夏威夷岛岛民构成成分很复杂，即夏威夷有很多ethnic groups，所以排除A；根据第五段可知，官方认为夏威夷土著居民指的是那些拥有50%以上夏威夷血统的人，由此可以排除D。故选C。 document.getElementById("warp").style.display="none"; document.getElementById("content").style.display="block"; 查看试题解析出处>>
