Should Museum Entry Be Free

With International Museum Day coming up, today we are asking readers: Should museums be free or should people have to pay for a ticket? Let us know your view.

Comments (評(píng)論)

Museums are not only there for enjoyment; they are education. This is why they must be free. While museums need a huge amount of money to operate (運(yùn)轉(zhuǎn))，let the wealthy pay for it. The idea of a person or child interested in art not being able to view (看)it because of cost is wrong.

cost is wrong

Krista Chen(US)- Age 15

Museums teach people about their past. This is part of our shared culture that should be available to everyone, rich or poor people should never be asked to pay an entrance fee (入場(chǎng)費(fèi))

Rob Sanchez (Australia)- age 17

There are no simple answers. Low ticket prices could help museums keep open. But businessmen should also provide museums with more money and other support. They have a social responsibility too.

Amber White (UK) –Age 16

I think museums should be free to the public. I do, however, think twice a year the museums should organize money-raising events to help pay for the cost of keeping open.

Li Mishao (China)-Age 15

【解析】

本文是一篇應(yīng)用文。本文介紹某網(wǎng)站進(jìn)行的一項(xiàng)調(diào)查，該網(wǎng)站就博物館是否應(yīng)該免費(fèi)讓游客參觀向大眾征求意見(jiàn)。

【1】

細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文中“With International Museum Day coming up, today we are asking readers…隨著國(guó)際博物館日的到來(lái)，今天我們要問(wèn)讀者……”，可知這四個(gè)人是來(lái)自不同國(guó)家的讀者，故選D。

【2】

細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文中“Museums are not only there for enjoyment; they are education. This is why they must be free. 博物館不僅是為了娛樂(lè)，也是為了教育。這就是為什么他們必須免費(fèi)�！�，可知Krista Chen建議博物館必須是免費(fèi)的，故選A。

【3】

細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文中“Low ticket prices could help museums keep open. 低票價(jià)可以幫助博物館保持開(kāi)放�！�，可知Amber White支持低票價(jià)的想法，故選C。

【4】

細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文中“With International Museum Day coming up, today we are asking readers… Let us know your view.”，可知這個(gè)討論是關(guān)于博物館是否應(yīng)該免費(fèi)讓游客參觀，所以選項(xiàng)A是錯(cuò)誤的；根據(jù)文中“This is why they must be free. ”和“This is part of our shared culture … should never be asked to pay an entrance fee”以及“I think museums should be free to the public.”，可知有三個(gè)人同意免費(fèi)，所以選項(xiàng)B是錯(cuò)誤的；根據(jù)文中“Krista Chen(US)- Age 15，Rob Sanchez (Australia)- age 17，Amber White (UK) –Age 16，Li Mishao (China)-Age 15”，可推測(cè)該網(wǎng)站一般面向年輕人，所以選項(xiàng)C是正確的；根據(jù)文中“But businessmen should also …They have a social responsibility too.”，可知是Amber White (UK)，一個(gè)英國(guó)女孩提到了社會(huì)責(zé)任，所以選項(xiàng)D是錯(cuò)誤的。故選C。

【題目】 On April 5, Queen Elizabeth II gave a short but powerful speech to inspire (激勵(lì)) the British people. The UK, like many countries around the world, has been hit hard by the coronavirus pandemic (冠狀病毒流行) . Many people have to stay at home and many businesses have been closed.

The Queen talked about her first-ever radio broadcast—delivered in 1940—when she and her sister Margaret spoke to children who had been evaluated ( 撤 離 ) from their homes during World War II. Fearing that German bombing ( 轟 炸 ) would kill people in the cities, millions of children in England were sent to safer places in the countryside.

“Echoes (再現(xiàn)) of that struggle of the 1940s, which for so long defined (定義) Britain and its self-image, ran through the broadcast,” the BBC said.

She ended the speech with a familiar phrase: “We will meet again.” It’s a reference ( 引 用 ) to Vera Lynn’s We’ll Meet Again, a song that encouraged unity (團(tuán)結(jié)) and optimism (樂(lè)觀) among Britons during the World War II. With her speech, the Queen hoped to encourage national unity.

【題目】 Do you get lots of reading tasks as part of your homework? You might wish that you could read faster. 【1】 But experts have dismissed(駁回）this announcement.

"Speed reading is not actually possible," said Elisabeth Schotter, a scientist at the University of South Florida, US. Schotter pointed out that people who say that they can teach others how to speed read are usually doing it to make money by selling courses and books.

In fact, speed reading has been advertised (做廣告）since 1959, when US educator Evelyn Wood introduced a speed reading program. Several US presidents have event asked their staff to take speed reading courses, 【2】

Schotter explained that reading is a complicated(復(fù)雜的）process. It includes four stages: seeing a word, searching its meaning from your memory, connecting it with other words in the same sentence, and then moving on to the next word. 【3】 It can't be sped up. Some people who are able to speed read are simply skimming(略讀）【4】 Skimmers can find out the main idea of a passage. But they will not be able to recall all of the information.

【5】 Research suggests that you should try to improve your vocabulary and simply read more. Then you can improve your reading speed.

閱讀文章并根據(jù)上下文用下面適當(dāng)選項(xiàng)補(bǔ)全短文。

A.This process uses many parts of the-brain at one time.

B.Skimming needs to read a passage quickly and only look for certain words or sentences.

C.There are some people who announce that, you can learn to read at super-high speeds.

D.So is there a way to become a faster reader?

E.However, the staff found that there is no real science behind speed reading.
