题目解答

答案

我们来逐步分析这道题。 --- ### **题目原文回顾：** > The Museum of Modern Art in New York City is known throughout the world. It has a collection of contemporary masterpieces in painting and sculpture. In the summer months, the Museum presents Summer garden, a fine program designed to give tired New Yorkers and out-of-town visitors an opportunity to enjoy special presentations. These include films, dramatic events, poetry reading, dance programs, and lectures in a surrounding of modern sculpture and landscapes. --- ### **问题：** **What does the Museum specialize in?** （博物馆的专长是什么？）选项如下： A. Works of art from foreign countries. （外国艺术品） B. Arranging poetry readings. （安排诗歌朗诵） C. Modern painting and sculpture. （现代绘画和雕塑） D. 20th century sculpture only. （仅限20世纪的雕塑） --- ### **解题分析：** 我们要找出博物馆“专长”的内容。根据原文第一段第二句： > **"It has a collection of contemporary masterpieces in painting and sculpture."** 这句话的意思是：“它收藏了绘画和雕塑方面的当代杰作。” - “contemporary masterpieces” 指的是“当代的杰作”，即现代艺术。 - “painting and sculpture” 明确指出是“绘画”和“雕塑”。这说明博物馆的专长是**现代绘画和雕塑**，也就是选项 **C**。 --- ### **排除其他选项：** - **A. Works of art from foreign countries**（外国艺术品）文中没有提到博物馆专门收藏外国艺术品，所以不能选。 - **B. Arranging poetry readings**（安排诗歌朗诵）虽然文中提到夏天会有诗歌朗诵活动，但这只是夏季活动的一部分，并不是博物馆的专长。 - **D. 20th century sculpture only**（仅限20世纪的雕塑）文中说的是“contemporary masterpieces”，即“当代杰作”，不局限于20世纪，也不只限于雕塑。 --- ### **最终答案：** $$ \boxed{C} $$

解析

考查要点：本题主要考查学生从文本中提取关键信息的能力，需要准确理解博物馆的“专长”所在。
解题核心：抓住首段中直接描述博物馆收藏内容的句子，明确其核心领域。
破题关键：注意原文中“contemporary masterpieces in painting and sculpture”这一核心表述，排除干扰选项中涉及活动或时间限定的内容。

步骤1：定位关键句

原文第一段明确指出：
"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。）
此处“contemporary”对应“现代”，“painting and sculpture”直接点明核心领域。

步骤2：分析选项

选项C直接对应关键句中的“modern painting and sculpture”，与原文一致。
选项A（外国艺术品）文中未提及，属于无中生有。
选项B（诗歌朗诵）仅是夏季活动之一，非专长。
选项D（仅限20世纪雕塑）中“only”扩大范围，且“contemporary”不限定为20世纪。

步骤3：排除干扰项

文中强调“当代杰作”，而非特定国家或时间段，因此排除A、D；活动内容属于辅助性质，排除B。
