19.Our website is presenting to you the world's leading museums and gallaries:
Smithsonian Institution,Washington,D.C.
The Smithsonian is one of the world's leading research and museum complexes,with 19museums and galleries,the National Zoological Park,and various research stations.More than 137million objects detailing America's history are exhibited here.There's so much to see that,if you spent every day and night looking at the exhibits at normal pace,in ten years you'd see only ten percent of the whole.Therefore,it's wise to head out with a plan.Focus on some famous exhibits at two or three different museums.
Le Louvre,Paris,F(xiàn)rance
The Louvre was a medieval fortress and the palace of the kings of France before becoming a museum two centuries ago.The addition of the Chinese architect I.M.Pei's stylish glass pyramid(金字塔) shocked many when it was opened to public in 1989as the new main entrance,yet it somehow works and has won compliment in the country,combining the palace's various elements to make the museum stand out as the most shinning diamond on the French artistic crown.The museum's collections,though failing to excel in numbers,are among the most important in the world.
The Acropolis Museum,Athens,Greece
The amazing groundfloor gallery houses were found from the slopes of the Acropolis( 衛(wèi)城).Its amazing see-through glass floor provides a walk over history,with a view of the archaeological(考古的) digging.Smaller settlements have been dug out,providing glimpses of Athenian life.Despite its lack of variety in exhibits and limited collections,the Acropolis attracts audience by,for the first time,allowing visitors to take in the stone exhibits,which are displayed in open air characterized by changing natural light.
State Hermitage,St.Petersburg,Russia
Russia may be isolated from the artistic centers of the US or West Europe,but the Hermitage has managed to acquire a spectacular collection of world art-three million items in numbers.The museum occupies six buildings along the Neva River,the leading structure being the candy-like Winter Palace.This gloriously  blue-and-white structure was finished in 1764and over the next several centuries was the main residence of the czars(沙皇).The museum's leading attraction is Western European art-in 120rooms in four buildings ranging from the Middle Ages to the present day.

70.Compared with the other three,which of the following is not geographically distinguished in art history?D
A.Smithsonian Institution.
B.Le Louvre.
C.The Acropolis Museum.
D.State Hermitage.
71.Which of the following enjoys the largest number of exhibit collections?A
A.Smithsonian Institution.
B.Le Louvre.
C.The Acropolis Museum.
D.State Hermitage.
72.The new Le Louvre entrance was recognized by French people becauseC.
A.it was designed by a famous foreign architect
B.it was constructed in a very fashionable style
C.it demonstrates the joint effect of different factors
D.it exhibits the diamond on the crown of a French king
73.According to the passage,which of the following statements is TRUE?B
A.If you plan well,you can view most exhibits of Smithsonian Institution during one visit.
B.The Winter Palace used to serve as the home for Russian kings.
C.For preservation,the Acropolis Museum exhibits are not allowed to be exposed to sunlight.
D.The Russian domestic art works are the most attractive collections in State Hermitage.

分析 本文屬于廣告類閱讀,主要向我們介紹了一些世界領(lǐng)先的博物館和畫廊,吸引讀者去參觀.

解答 70.D 細節(jié)理解題,根據(jù)The museum's leading attraction is Western European art-in 120rooms in four buildings ranging from the Middle Ages to the present day.可知State Hermitage在藝術(shù)史上沒有地理上的區(qū)別,故選D.
71.A 細節(jié)理解題,根據(jù)More than 137million objects detailing America's history are exhibited here.可知Smithsonian Institution享有最大數(shù)量的展覽收藏,故選A.
72.C 細節(jié)理解題,根據(jù)The addition of the Chinese architect I.M.Pei's stylish glass pyramid(金字塔) shocked many when it was opened to public in 1989 as the new main entrance,yet it somehow works and has won compliment in the country,combining the palace's various elements to make the museum stand out as the most shinning diamond on the French artistic crown.可知新的盧浮宮的入口演示了不同因素的聯(lián)合作用,故選C.
73.B 細節(jié)理解題,根據(jù)the leading structure being the candy-like Winter Palace.This gloriously  blue-and-white structure was finished in 1764and over the next several centuries was the main residence of the czars(沙皇).可知The Winter Palace 過去曾作為俄羅斯國王的家,因此B正確,誤解分析:More than 137million objects detailing America's history are exhibited here.可知不可能一次觀看大多數(shù)展品,因此A錯;根據(jù)The amazing groundfloor gallery houses were found from the slopes of the Acropolis( 衛(wèi)城).可知他的展品可以在陽光下,因此C錯;根據(jù)The museum's leading attraction is Western European art-in 120rooms in four buildings ranging from the Middle Ages to the present day.可知選項D錯;故選B.

點評 做閱讀理解時要快速的瀏覽全文,把握文章主旨大意,帶著問題回到原文,尋找細節(jié)或概括相應的答案,最后要理清作者寫作思路.

7.Two years ago,when I was an oversea student,I worked early mornings and late nights to pay for my school fees.
One day,I was seriously ill with a very high fever.I had stayed at home for a few days,and I had run out of food.Because I had been in this town just for a short time,I also had no friends nearby who could help.So I went out to get some food.I would have gone to the supermarket,but on this occasion,I went into a small store because it was closer.
I picked up a few items.When I handed them to the shopkeeper,she said,"You are unwell.""Yes,"I nodded.
She pointed at the salami and bread I was buying and offered,"I can make you a sandwich,so you don't have to do it yourself'.So,she made the sandwich and asked me to wait a moment.She went in the back room and returned with a bowl of hot soup.
"It will warm you up,"she said with a genuine smile.
What really warmed me up was not the soup,but her kindness.It made me want to be as kind as the shopkeeper who had been kind to me.

When the author,an oversea student,was badly ill,a shopkeeper made him a sandwich and offered hot soup.Feeling warm with her kindness,the author decided to be as kind as her.
The passage reminds me of Miss Chen,my teacher of Chemistry,she just encouraged me not to give up.she even did everything to ease my anxiety.
It sounds like nothing big,but her act did make me feel warm.With such a teacher,there is no doubt that I will act as her in future.As long as I do so,others can also feel the kindness of Miss Chen.

4.The Most Fantastic Staircases in the World
Infinity and beyond
The architecture of the staircase combines form and function,upper and lower space.It can represent power or status,or symbolize spiritual uplift and the climb to knowledge.A new book published by Thames&Hudson,The Staircase:The Architecture of Ascent explores the history and meaning of the staircase,from the simple,straight-fight steps of the Mayan pyramids,to the spiral ramp(螺旋型坡道)of Frank Lloyd Wright's Guggenheim Museum and the computer-aided designs of today.
The steps of the Toltec-Maya pyramid at Chichen Itza is the ancestor of all stair design.Appearing to stretch up to the sky,this style of staircase came to symbolize a rise to heaven and infinity,and has captured artists'imaginations.
Let there be light
The"lantern"at the dome(圓頂屋)of a staircase is an important design feature----allowing the light to stream in.The view shown here of the lantern of the Chateau of Chambord in the Loire,F(xiàn)rance,shows the flat ceiling decorated with coffering(方格天花板).The Chateau marks a high point in the development of the staircase,reflecting the Renaissance(文藝復興) architects'liking for the spiral structure around an open space.
High and mighty
The spirit of the Baroque(巴洛克)appears in the monumental staircase of the Palazzo Canossa in Mantua,Lombardy,Italy,built in the 1600s for the Gonzagafamily,who ruled that part of northern Italy from the14th to the 18th centuries.The figures that greet the visitor on the landing include two large dogs,symbolizing the powerful family.
High drama
The palaces of Germany and Austria showGerman Baroque at its most dramatic and rich.At the Würzburg Residenz,the ceiling is covered in a painting by Venetian artist Giambattista Tiepolo describing the four comers of the earth above the great staircase.

60.The stair designers of today draw inspiration fromB.
A.the Guggenheim Museum    
B.the Toltec-Maya pyramid
C.the Chateau of Chambord      
D.the Würzburg Residenz
61.Which of the following designs would probably be of the Renaissance style?C
A.A simple,straight staircase.
B.A flat ceiling left bare.
C.A spiral staircase with careful decoration.
D.A plain dome of a staircase.
62.The staircases of the Palazzo Canossa and the Würzburg ResidenzA.
A.a(chǎn)re both built in the Baroque style          
B.both describe the four comers of the earth
C.symbolize spiritual uplift and a rise to heaven 
D.have the figures of dogs above their staircases.
