解答 39.A 細節(jié)理解題,根據(jù)It is an actual farm and you can wander around the farm to see the fields and animals.可知Queens County Farm Museum是一個露天的在戶外的博物館,故選A.
40.D 細節(jié)理解題,根據(jù)As the best media museum in New York City,it promotes public understanding and appreciation of the art,history,technique and technology of film,television and digital media.可知MMI促進了公眾對電影、電視和數(shù)字媒體的藝術、歷史、技術和技術的理解和欣賞,因此電影迷會參觀這里,故選D.
41.B 細節(jié)理解題,根據(jù)the museum is well-known for its collections and exhibitions representing people and animals throughout the ages.可知AMNH由于它的關于人和動物進化的展覽而出名,因此B正確,誤解分析:根據(jù)The museum originally opened in 1988 and reopened in January 2011 after a 67 million expansion可知MMI花費6700萬擴建,而不是建造,因此A錯;由with the aim of conveying (傳遞) the excitement and understanding of science and technology to children.可知NYHS是用科學和技術教育孩子,因此C錯;文中沒有提到在QCFM喂養(yǎng)動物的孩子的年齡限制,因此D錯;故選B.
42.B  細節(jié)理解題,根據(jù)it has the largest collection of hands-on science exhibits in New York City;The museum also offers many exciting hands-on programs;It also provides hands-on events for school groups of all ages on a variety of topics;With a balance of hands-on activities and information,it can entertain and educate people of different ages.可知這四個博物館都提供了讓游客動手的活動,故選B.

13.When I set out to drop my dad of fat the airport,it was dark and dreary(沉悶的).It started to rain on the way.When I left the airport,the visibility wasn't clear because of the drops of rain.It was before 6am.
Even though the road conditions were poor,I drove at my normal speed.I was angry with the more cautious drivers ahead of me that were delaying my drive.The exit ramp(坡道)to the highway was a tight spiral(急盤旋).It is a dangerous spot in good weather and totally scary when the weather is miserable or it is dark.But I didn't want to slow down and arrive home any later than necessary.I drove down the ramp too fast.The road was wet and my car slid,landing face down on the passenger side.
I didn't like to drive by myself at the time and had debated taking my husband and son with me on the trip.Thankfully,I was alone in the car.My accident was slight.In fact,I was lucky enough not to have a single scratch.I shuddered to think the injuries my son would have suffered had he been in the backseat of that car with no seatbelt when it rolled.After the ear rolled three times,I found my mobile phone was lost in a pile of small things that were all lying in the bottom of the car.A lady was kind enough to let me borrow her mobile phone,but with-out the numbers preprogrammed who could I call?I was lucky enough to remember my father's mobile phone number,and fortunate that he hadn't yet got on his plane.
You never know when an accident will happen.As a driver,I will keep safety in mind by obeying all traffic laws and have safe-driving habits,especially in bad weather.Insist your children always wear their seatbehs.Life is a journey and everyone should value it and enjoy the ride.

24.Why was the author angry with those drivers?A
A.She thought they drove too slowly.
B.They made much noise on the ramp.
C.They didn't pay attention to the safety.
D.They tried to stop her car on the ramp.
25.What does the underlined word"shuddered"in Paragraph 3probably mean?C
A.Ensured the safety.    
B.Remembered clearly.
C.Trembled because of fear.
D.Took control of the bad situation.
26.What is the main reason that resulted in the accident?B
A.The visibility was not clear.    
B.The author drove rather fast.
C.It started to rain heavily then.
D.It was an unsafe spot for driving.
27.We can learn from this passage that the authorB.
A.had just a single scratch
B.called her father for help
C.felt sorry because her son was injured
D.found her mobile phone with the help of a lady.
