试题分析:文章是关于参观狄更斯博物馆的展品及其开放时间、门票、使用、租用、交通等有关信息。
1.B推理(文章出处)题。根据文章倒数第三段最后一句“Click here to visit all the rooms in the Museum online”和文章倒数第一段“For a map, please click here”中的“click(点击), online(在线的)”可推断出此文章来自网址,故B正确。
2.D 细节题。由题干关键词“save”定位把答案定位于文章“Admission Charges”部分,由“ Adults: £5.00;…Children: £3.00; Families:£14.00( 2 adults & up to five children)”可知“这一家各自去参观,要花费:2*5+5*3=25英镑;买家庭票只要14英镑”,所以买家庭票可节约11英镑,故D正确。
3.D细节题。故D正确。由题干关键词“the Museum, find”定位把答案定位于文章第一段,该段第三句明确指出“…visitors can see paintings, rare editions, manuscripts,…”,即“…游客可以看绘画,珍本,手稿…”,由此可知,答案A、B、C都有,D项在文中未讲到,故选D。
4.A细节题。故A正确。做此类正误判断细节题的技巧是把选项与原文一一比较。A“这博物馆与大英博物馆不远”在文章最后一段“The British Museum and the Foundling Museum are within walking distance”提到,A项是此句原文的同义转述,故为正确答案。B“17:00后,在任何情况下都不能参观博物馆”与文章“Special opening times can be arranged for groups, who may wish to book a private view”不符,不正确;C“视力差的游客不能享受参观博物馆”与文章“…an audio tour for visitors with impaired (受损的) vision.Our Handling Sessions are also suitable for the visually impaired”相矛盾,故不正确;D“任何人不能雇用博物馆进行其他活动”与文章倒数第二段“The Museum can be hired for private functions, performances soirees(社交晚会) and many other social occasions”相矛盾,故不正确。
5.C主旨大意(写作目的)题。本文的主旨大意是要根据各段的主题句概括而出。首段讲了“查尔斯狄更斯博物馆里的展品”,接着依次讲了“狄更斯博物馆开放时间,门票,使用,租用,交通”,由此可知本文围绕“狄更斯博物馆有关信息”展开,故C正确。

One of the best-loved American writers was William Sydney Porter, or O.Henry. From 1893 he lived with his family in a house in Austin, Texas, which is now a museum. Visitors to Austin can see the house. It was saved from destruction (破坏) and turned into a museum in1934. The museum is a good way to learn about the interesting life of the American writer.
William Porter rented this house in Austin and lived there with his wife Athol and daughter Margaret for about two years. Many objects in the museum belonged to the Porters. Others did not. An important piece in the room is the original photograph over here. It was taken there in the house about 1895. The piano there goes back to the 1860s. His wife took lessons on it when she first moved to Austin.
Porter did not start his career as a successful writer. He worked at a farm, land office and bank. He also loved words and writing. The museum has a special proof of Porter’s love of language --- his dictionary. It is said that he had read every word in that dictionary.
Later William Porter was forced to leave Austin because he was charged with financial wrongdoing at the bank and lost his job. Because he was afraid of a trail (审判), he left the country secretly. But he returned because his wife was dying. After her death, he faced the trial and became a criminal. He served three and a half years in a prison in Ohio.
William Porter would keep his time in prison a secret. But there was one good thing about it. It provided him with time to write. By the time he was freed, he had published 14 stories and became well known as O.Henry.
Porter later moved to New York City and found great success there. He published over 180 stories in the last eight years of his life.
