解析:选项B与原文涉题句中的not for the ordinary visitor做同义替换。与题干含义相符。故选择B项。

解析:原文中的“those who are professionally engaged”与题干中的experts同义,另外原文中“in a difficult position“和”steer a narrow course between the demands of ‘evidence’ and ‘attractiveness’”对应选项D的内容。

Question 10
正确答案: B
题干关键词:ends(结束), our view of history(我们对历史的看法), biased(偏见)
原文定位:F段第一句和第二句“Human bias is inevitable, but another source of bias in the representation of history has to do with the transitory nature of the materials themselves. The simple fact is that not everything from history survives the historical process.”(人的偏见是不可避免的,但展现历史的另一个偏见来源与材料本身的短暂性质有关。简单的事实是,历史上的一切并非都在历史过程中幸存下来。)
解析: F段首句中bias与题干中的biased相对应,题目考查的是人类存在偏见的原因是什么,原文涉题句提到了has to do with the transitory nature of the materials themselves,紧接着下段的第二句对其进行了补充,强调是因为很多物体经过历史的过程没能得以幸存下来,所以答案为B。
Question 11
正确答案: FALSE
题干关键词:prefer theme parks(更偏向于主题公园), avoid serious issues(避免严肃的话题),题干大意是“消费者更喜欢与严肃事件毫不相干的主题公园”。

解析:原文与题干意思直接相反,故答案为FALSE。
Question 12
正确答案: NOT GIVEN
题干关键词:more people(更多人), visit(参观), museums(博物馆), theme parks(主题公园),题干大意是“更多的人参观博物馆,而不是去主题公园”。
原文定位:D段第二句“This development is a response to market forces and, although museums and heritage sites have a special, rather distinct, role to fulfil, they are also operating in a very competitive environment, where visitors make choices on how and where to spend their free time.”(这种发展是对市场作用的反应,尽管博物馆和遗址具有特殊的,相当独特的补充作用,但它们也在竞争激烈的环境中存活着,在这一环境下,游客可以自由选择如何和在何处度过空闲时间。)
解析:根据顺序原则寻找答案,原文出题句提到museums和theme parks两者的不同,但是没有提到 more people visit museums than theme parks。故答案为NOT GIVEN。
Question 13
正确答案: FALSE
题干关键词:boundaries of Leyden(莱顿城的边界), changed little(几乎没有改变), seventeenth century(17世纪), 题干大意是“莱顿城的边界自17世纪以来几乎没雨改变”。
原文定位:F段第五句“In a town like Leyden in Holland, which in the seventeenth century was occupied by approximately the same number of inhabitants as today, people lived within the walled town, an area more than five times smaller than modem Leyden.”(在荷兰的莱顿(Leyden)这样的城镇,十七世纪的居民与今天的居民人数相同,居住在城墙内,比现代莱恩还要小五倍以上。)。
解析:本题出现地点特殊关键词,所以可以快速定位到原文的出题句。本题的考点应该是boundaries changed little,而根据原文的意思,17世纪Leyden这个城镇的面积还不到现在面积的五分之一。所以题目与原文矛盾。
Question 14
正确答案: TRUE
题干关键词:museums(博物馆), false impression(错误的印象), life used to be(过去的生活),题干大意是“博物馆可能对生命究竟如何引发误解”。
原文定位:F段最后两句“No wonder that people who stroll around exhibitions are filled with nostalgia; the evidence in museums indicates that life was so much better in the past. This notion is induced by the bias in its representation in museums and heritage centres.”(难怪在展览中漫步的人都怀着怀旧的气氛; 博物馆有证据表明,过去的生活是如此之好。 这个概念是由博物馆和遗产中心产生的偏见所引发的。)。
解析:原文中的“life was so much better in the past”,与题干的关键词life used to be对应,原文中“bias in its representation in museums”可与题干museimis can give a false impression同义替换,故答案为TRUE。
