Question

【題目】 Paris is a museum city. There are hundreds of them, big and small. But, most importantly, they are excellent, some of the best on the planet. From the Louvre to the Musée d’Orsay to the Centre Pompidou, you could spend a lifetime wandering the halls of the city’s great museums. Here are some of the best museums in Paris.

The Louvre

The world’s ultimate museum is also the biggest one and the most visited. The 35,000 art objects on display are all overshadowed by one single painting—Mona Lisa, in the Renaissance era.

Jeu de Paume

Set in the Tuileries Gardens next to the Louvre, Jeu de Paume’s past lives were of a tennis court and then a museum which housed Impressionist art. Today it is Paris’s main photography and video museum. It also occasionally shows art-house films.

Musée d’Orsay

Housed in a former railway station on the Left Bank of the Seine, the museum opened in 1986 and today houses the planet’s largest collection of Impressionist and Post-Impressionist artworks. If you like 19th-century natural landscapes with rural lives and tastes, this is the place to take it all in.

Musée du Quai Branly

As Paris’s main home to non-European art, objects, and culture, this Jean Nouvel-designed museum exhibits a collection of 3,500 pieces, many of which were taken from various countries during the vast period of French Colonialism. There are objects from Quebec and Louisiana from the time when the regions were under French control. There are also Indian sculptures, masks from West Africa and other aesthetic delights.

【1】

細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段中The 35,000 art objects on display are all overshadowed by one single painting—Mona Lisa, in the Renaissance era.可知展出的35000件藝術(shù)品的光芒都被一幅文藝復(fù)興時期的畫作《蒙娜麗莎》所掩蓋。由此可知，盧浮宮里最好、最受贊賞的展覽是《蒙娜麗莎》。故選A。

【2】

細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段中Housed in a former railway station on the Left Bank of the Seine, the museum opened in 1986 and today houses the planet’s largest collection of Impressionist and Post-Impressionist artworks.可知該博物館位于塞納河左岸的一個前火車站，于1986年開放，如今收藏著世界上最大的印象派和后印象派藝術(shù)作品。由此可知，如今，Musée d’Orsay博物館收藏印象派作品。故選C。

【3】

細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)最后一段As Paris’s main home to non-European art, objects, and culture, this Jean Nouvel-designed museum exhibits a collection of 3,500 pieces, many of which were taken from various countries during the vast period of French Colonialism. There are objects from Quebec and Louisiana from the time when the regions were under French control. There are also Indian sculptures, masks from West Africa and other aesthetic delights.可知作為巴黎主要的非歐洲藝術(shù)、物品和文化的發(fā)源地，這個由Jean Nouvel設(shè)計的博物館展出了3500件藏品，其中很多是在法國殖民時期從不同國家掠走的。還有一些來自魁北克和路易斯安那的物品，它們是在法國控制下的。還有印度雕塑，西非的面具和其他的審美樂趣。由此可知，Musée du Quai Branly不同于其他三個博物館之處在于它陳列著非歐洲物品。故選A。
