Question

【题目】根据短文理解，选择正确答案。
For many people around the world, a subway journey means speeding from one dull station to the next, surrounded by too many uncomfortable, impatient people. But on the Moscow Metro, taking the subway is like walking through a national heritage site. Depending on where you get off, you'll receive a brief course in architectural movements and face colorful glass windows, marble(大理石) columns, gilded(鎏金的) mosaics and painted scenes from Russian history.
“These extraordinarily beautiful places are unlike any metro station I've ever seen, “says Vancouver-based photographer David Burdeny.
When Burdeny, who himself has a master's degree in architecture, first found out about Moscow's metro stations, he was struck by the work of art. In all, he has photographed 20 of the most beautiful stations.
Burdeny had originally planned to focus on Russian stations more generally, taking photos of examples in both St. Petersburg and Moscow.
“But when I saw the stations in Moscow, they just completely blew away the St. Petersburg ones,” he says.
Shooting in the subway sounds simple, but it is not without challenges. For one thing, Burdeny had to figure out a way to access them between 00:30 a.m. and 5:30 a.m., when the stations were closed.
In the end, he settled on Arbatskaya Metro Station, whose vaulted(拱状的) arches he found the most beautiful. But it also represented a challenge he was not sure if he was able to overcome: conveying the hugeness of the spaces. The Arbatskaya platform, for example, stretches 820 feet.
“Some of the arches are quite long,” he says. “When you enter them, they're just so completely grand.”

（3）C
【解析】本文是一篇说明文。介绍了俄罗斯的地铁不同于世界其他地方的地铁，以及与之相关的信息。

⑴考查细节理解。根据第三段中的”In all, he has photographed 20 of the most beautiful stations.“可知实际上他拍摄了20多个车站的照片。故B项正确。

⑵考查细节理解。根据倒数第二段”But it also represented a challenge he was not sure if he was able to overcome: conveying the hugeness of the spaces. The Arbatskaya platform, for example, stretches 820 feet.“可知在Arbatskaya Metro Station，他发现要想把这里很长的拱状建筑拍出来很难。故D项正确。

⑶考查词义猜测。根据第三段中的”In all, he has photographed 20 of the most beautiful stations.“可知实际上他拍摄了20多个车站的照片。下一段叙述他在Arbatskaya Metro Station仍然在介绍他拍摄照片，故C项正确。
