**Reading Passage 3, Questions 31-40** 31.Compared with today’s museums, those of the past A. did not present history in a detailed way. B. were not primarily intended for the public. C. were more clearly organised. D. preserved items with greater care. 答案：B 题目解析：本题对应的文章内容是A段第3句“Such conviction was, until…”。这句话中的but not for the ordinary visitor对应选项B中的were not primarily intended for the public 。故正确答案为B。 32.According to the writer, current trends in the heritage industry A. emphasise personal involvement. B. have their origins in York and London. C. rely on computer images. D. reflect minority tastes. 答案：A 题目解析：本题对应的文章内容是B段1、前两句“Recently，however, attitudes…”。其中第二句话对应选项A中的emphasise personal involvement。选项B和D都涉及细节问 题，但选项B本身就是错误的，选项D根本没提及。故正确答案为A。 33.The writer says that museums, heritage sites and theme parks A. often work in close partnership. B. try to preserve separate identities. C. have similar exhibits. D. are less easy to distinguish than before. 答案：D 题目解析：本题对应的文章内容是C段前两句“In a related development, the sharp distinction…”。这句话中的the sharp distinction...is gradually evaporating就相当于选项D中的are less easy to distinguish than before。其余三个选项在原文都没提及。故正确答案为D。 34.The writer says that in preparing exhibits for museums, experts A. should pursue a single objective. B. have to do a certain amount of language translation. C. should be free from commercial constraints. D. have to balance conflicting priorities. 答案：D 题目解析：本题对应的文章内容是D段末句“Those who are professionally…”。这句话中的as they must steer a narrow course between...and...对应选项D中的have to balance conflicting priorities。选项A和B原文没提及，选项C提到了commercial, 但没有提到should be free from。故正确答案为D。 35.In paragraph E, the writer suggests that some museum exhibits A. fail to match visitor expectations. B. are based on the false assumptions of professionals. C. reveal more about present beliefs thjan about the past. D. allow visitors to make more use of their imagination. 答案：C 题目解析：本题对应的文章内容是E段第4句“Such presentations…”。这句话中的 tell us more about contemporary perceptions of the world than about our ancestors对应选项C中的reveal more about present beliefs than about the past。一般遇到选项中带比较关系的都不是正确答案，但选项C正是这道题的答案，因为原文中也明确了这样的比较关系。 36.The passage ends by noting that our view of history is biased because A. we fail to use our imagination. B. only very durable objects remain from the past. C. we tend to ignore things that displease us. D. museum exhibits focus too much on the local area. 答案：B 题目解析：本题对应的文章内容是F段前三句。这句话中的but another source of bias in the representation of history has to do with the transitory nature of the materials themselves对应选项B中的only very durable objects remain from the past。其余三个选项原文中都没有提及，即可以用排除法筛选出正确选项;选项B中出现了only, 又可以从原文中提到的not everything from history中看出其 包含了 only的意思。故正确答案为B。 37.Consumers prefer theme parks which avoid serious issues. 答案：FALSE 题目解析：本题对应的文章内容是D段内容。可根据定位词定位至D段段首。原文中说，主题公园也经历着转变，摆脱轻松的梦幻风 格，尝试着去呈现严肃的社会问题，而且这种发展是市场推动力的反应。说明这是消费者认可且接受的。而题干中说消费者更喜欢氛围轻松的主题公园，与原文陈述不一致。 38.More people visit museums than theme parks. 答案：NOT GIVEN 题目解析：本题对应的文章内容是根据TRUE/FALSE/NOT GIVEN题型的顺序出题原则，此题考点应在37题考点之后、39 题考点之前，顺着上一题找下去，并未发现有提到参观博物馆的人要比参观主题公园的人多的地方。 39.The boundaries of Leyden have changed little since the seventeenth century. 答案：FALSE 题目解析：本题对应的文章内容是F段第5句“In a town like Leyden…”。本题根据定位词很容易定位至F段第5句，像荷兰的莱顿这样的小镇，17世纪的居民数量和现在大致相同。人们将小镇用城墙围起来，居住其中，该区域的面积比现代的莱顿要小5倍。可以明显看出原文中提到的an area more than five times smaller than modem Leyden与题干中的have changed little陈述不一致。 40.Museums can give a false impression of how life used to be. 答案：TRUE 题目解析：本题对应的文章内容是F段第6句“In most of the houses…”。大多数房间中都住着好几户人家，其生活环境超出我们的想象。但在博物馆中，上好的老房子仅展现了那个时代上流社会的生活。难怪参观展览的人会充满怀旧情绪；博物馆中的证据表明过去的生活比现在的好得多。这种理解正是由博物馆和历史遗产中心重现历史过程中的偏见所引起的。根据定位段落可以看出，明明当时生活艰苦，在博物馆里却只展现了上流社会的好房子，给人错误印象。与题干表述一致。
