{{B}}Museums in the Modern
World{{/B}}1. Museums have changed. They are no longer places for the
privileged few or for bored vacationers to visit on rainy days. Action and
democracy are words used in descriptions of museums now.2. At a science
museum in Ontario, Canada, you can feel your hair stand on end as harmless
electricity passes through your body. At the Metropolitan Museum, of Art in New
York City, you can look at 17th century instruments while listening to their
music. At the Modem Museum in Sweden, you can put on costumes provided by the
Stockholm Opera. As these examples show, museums are reaching out to new
audiences, particularly the young, the poor, and the less educated members of
the population. As a result, attendance is increasing.
3. More and more, museums directors 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 ox 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.4. One cause of all these changes is the increase
in wealth and leisure 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 works of
art; they want art they can participate in. The same is true of science and
history. In the US, certain groups who formerly 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 benefited 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.5. The
effect of all this has been to change existing museums and to encourage the
building of new ones. In the US and Canada alone, there are now more than 6,,000
museums, almost twice as many as there were 25 years ago. About half of them axe
devoted to history, and the rest are evenly divided between the arts and
sciences. The number of visitors, according to the American Association of
museums, has risen to more than 700 million a year.6. In fact, the crowds of
visitors at some museums are creating a major problem. Admission to museums has
always been either free or very inexpensive, but now some museums are charging
entrance fees for the first time or raising their prices. Even when raised,
however, entrance fees are generally too low to support a museum, with its
usually large building and its highly trained staff.
填空题The Building of the Pyramids The oldest stone buildings in the world are the pyramids. (46) There are over eighty of them scattered along the banks of the Nile,some of which are different in shape from the true pyramids. The most famous of these are the "Step" pyramid and the "Bent" pyramid. Some of the pyramids still look much the same as they must have done when they were built thousands of years ago. Most of the damage suffered by the others has been at the hands of men who were looking for treasure or, more often, for stone to use in modern buildings. (47) These are good reasons why they can still be seen today,but perhaps the most important is that they were planned to last for ever. (48) However,there are no writings or pictures to show us how the Egyptians planned or built the pyramids themselves. (49) Nevertheless,by examining the actual pyramids and various tools which have been found,archaeologists have formed a fairly clear picture of them. One thing is certain, there must have been months of careful planning before they could begin to build. (50) You may think this would have been easy with miles and miles of empty desert around,but a pyramid could not be built just anywhere. Certain rules had to be followed,and certain problems had to be overcome.A. The dry climate of Egypt has helped to preserve the pyramids, and their very shape have made them less likely to fall into ruin.B. It is practically certain that plans were made for the building of the pyramids because the plans of other large works have fortunately been preserved.C. The first thing they had to do was to choose a suitable place.D. Consequently,we are only able to guess at the methods used.E. Many people were killed while building the pyramids.F. They have stood for nearly 5,000 years,and it seems likely that they will continue to stand for thousands of years yet.
