2 At a science museum in Ontario,Canada,you can feel your hair stand on end as harmless3 electricity passes through your body.At the Metropolitan4 Museum of Art in New York City, you can look at 17th century instruments while listening to their music.At the Modern Museum in Sweden,you can put on costumes5 provided6 by the Stockholm Opera.As these examples show, museums are reaching out to new audiences,particularly the young, the poor, and the less educated7 members of the population.As a result,attendance is increasing.

2 Paragraph 3
3 More and more museums directors8 are realizing that people learn best when they can somehow become part of what they are seeing.In many science museums,for example, there are no guided tours.The visitor is encouraged to touch,listen,operate,and experiment so as to discover scientific principles for himself.He can have the experience of operating a spaceship or a computer.He can experiment with glass blowing and paper making.The purpose is not only to provide fun but also to help people feel at home in the world of science.The theory is that people who do not understand science will probably fear it,and those who fear science will not use it to best advantage.Many museums now provide educational services and children’s departments.In addition to the usual displays.they also offer film showings and dance programs.Instead of being places that one‘‘should”visit,they are places to enjoy.
1.E。 分析:首先注意段落中是否出现重复的词汇—段落核心词,发现没有明显的核心词出现,所以关注段首句和/或段未句,发现段首句的结构是“许多博物馆的馆长意识到..”,因此判断该句是观点句—借助权威人士之口阐述观点,但是该句句意与被选项之间似乎并没有关系,段未句说“博物馆应该是喜欢的地方”。注意段落中的特殊句子:举例句:In many science museums,for example, there are no guided tours,Many museums now provide educational services and children’s departments 这些句子在讲述博物馆的变化,但是段落中并没有提到“造成变化的原因”,因此排除A,比较剩下的选项判断E合适:D和F都太具体,而E正是对段首句和段未句的句意的概括。
思路特点:借助段落中特殊句子(往往是举例句)的句意缩小答案选择范围。
A Causes of Changes
B Increasing Number of Museums and Visitors
D Movies Shown in Museums
F Places to Visit
3 Paragraph 4
4 One cause of a11 these changes is the increase in wealth and leisure9 time.Another cause is the rising percentage of young people in the population.Many of these young people are college students or college graduates.They are better educated than their parents.they see things in a new and different way.They are not content to stand and look at works10 of art;they want art they can participate in.The same is true of science and history.In the US, certain groups who formerly11 were too poor to care about anything beyond the basic needs of daily life are now becoming curious about the world around them.The young people in these groups,like young people in general,have benefited12 from a better education than their parents received.All these groups,and the rest of the population as well.have been influenced by television,which has taught them about other places and other times.
2. A。分析:注意到段首句和接下来的句子中出现的同样的词汇cause,而且这两句中的结构分别是“造成这些变化的一个原因..”,“另一个原因是..”这些结构正好与A呼应, 因此判断A是答案。
思路特点:段落核心词决定答案范围/答案。
B Increasing Number of Museums and Visitors
D Movies Shown in Museums
F Places to Visit
