The increasingly popular“design museums”that are opening today, however, perform quite a different role. Unlike most art museums, the design museum shows objects that are easily found by the general museums sometimes even place things like fridges and washing machines in the center of the hall. People have argued that desgin museums are often made use of as advertisements for new industrial technology. But their role is not simply a matter of sales—It is the honoring of excellently invented products. The difference between the window of a department store and the showcase in a design museum is that the first tries to sell you something, while the second tells you the success of a sale. One advantage of design museums is that they are places where people feel familiar with the exhibits. Unlike the average art museum visitors, design museum visitors seldom feel frightened or puzzled(困惑 ). This is partly because design museums clearly show how and why mass produced products work and look as they do, and how design has improved the quality of our lives. Art museum exhibits, on the other hand, would most probably fill visitors with a feeling that there is something beyond their understanding. In recent years, several new design museums have opened their doors. Each of these museums has tried to satisfy the public39。s Design Museum, for example, shows a collection of mass produced object from Zippo lighters to electric typewriters to a group of Italian fishtins. The choices open to design museum seem far less strict than those to art museums, and visitors may also sense the humorous(幽默的 )part of our society while walking around such exhibits as interesting and unusually attractive toys collected in our everyday life. 40． Showcases in design museums are different from store windows because they________. A． show more technologically advanced products B． help increase the sales of products C． show why the products have sold well D． attract more people than store windows do 答案： C 解析： 本篇將 art museum 與 design museum 進(jìn)行了對比分析，向人們介紹了 design museum的一些情況。第二段最后一句說得清楚：百貨商店的櫥窗與設(shè)計(jì)博物館的展臺的區(qū)別就是前者 (櫥窗 )試圖賣給你東西，而后者 (展臺 )告訴你 (一種商品的 )銷售成功的原因。 42． The choices open to design museums________. A． are not as strict as those to art museums B． are not aimed to interest the public C． may fail to bring some pleasure to visitors D． often contain precious exhibits 答案： A 解析： 文章最后一句 (尤其是 far less strict)可知，入選 design museum的展品的選擇不像入選 art museum 那么嚴(yán)格。 C One of the last sites of the Monarch Butterfly may soon be gone. It is happening in Pacific Grove, California. That town calls itself Butterfly USA. In this town, one woman owns some land that the butterflies(蝴蝶 )like to live on. She wants to sell her land to people who want to build homes. The city does not want this to happen because the butterflies will not have a home. The city would like to make the land a place just for butterflies. It cannot do this because it cannot afford to buy the land. Millions of butterflies have followed the same paths for thousands of years. They start their trip in Mexico and return to the same trees in California. They e to Pacific Grove to stay warm. The female butterflies need the plants there to lay their eggs. Lots of butterfli
