题目解答

答案

我们来一步步分析题目和选项，找出正确答案。 --- ### **题目内容回顾：** 题目讲的是纽约现代艺术博物馆（MoMA）的一些情况，尤其是夏季活动“Summergarten”。文章中提到： - 博物馆以收藏当代绘画和雕塑的杰作而闻名。 - 在夏季，它会举办“Summergarten”活动，包括电影、戏剧、诗歌朗诵、舞蹈节目和讲座等。 - 活动在博物馆的雕塑花园举行，时间是六月到九月的周五、周六和周日晚上。 --- ### **题目：** **What does the Museum specialize in?** （博物馆专长于什么？） --- ### **选项分析：** A. **Works of art from foreign countries.** （外国的艺术作品。） → 文中没有提到博物馆是否专门收藏外国作品，只是说它是世界知名的，不能据此推断它专长于外国艺术。**排除。** B. **Arranging poetry readings.** （组织诗歌朗诵。） → 诗歌朗诵只是“Summergarten”活动的一部分，不是博物馆的专长。**排除。** C. **Modern painting and sculpture.** （现代绘画和雕塑。） → 文中明确提到：“It has a collection of contemporary masterpieces in painting and sculpture.”（它收藏了绘画和雕塑方面的当代杰作。）这正是博物馆的专长。**可能是正确答案。** D. **20th century sculpture only.** （仅20世纪的雕塑。） → 文中说的是“contemporary masterpieces”，即当代杰作，并没有限定在20世纪，也没有说只收藏雕塑。**排除。** --- ### **结论：** 根据文章内容，博物馆专长于**现代绘画和雕塑**。 --- ### **最终答案：** $$ \boxed{C} $$

解析

本题考查对文章细节信息的理解，需准确找到博物馆“专长”相关的描述并与选项对比。

关键信息定位

文章第二句明确提到："It has a collection of contemporary masterpieces in painting and sculpture"（它收藏了绘画和雕塑领域的当代杰作），这直接指向博物馆的核心专长。

选项逐一分析

  • A. Works of art from foreign countries（外国艺术作品）：
    文中未提及博物馆收藏“外国作品”，仅说“世界知名”，无依据支撑，排除。
  • B. Arranging poetry readings（组织诗歌朗诵）：
    诗歌朗诵只是夏季活动Summergarten的一部分，属于临时项目，非博物馆核心专长，排除。
  • C. Modern painting and sculpture（现代绘画和雕塑）：
    与文中“contemporary masterpieces in painting and sculpture”（当代绘画和雕塑杰作）完全对应，“contemporary”即“现代的”，符合题意。
  • D. 20th century sculpture only（仅20世纪雕塑）：
    文中“contemporary”未限定为“20世纪”，且“only”（仅）与“painting and sculpture”（绘画和雕塑）矛盾，排除。
