Question

Fine art treasures from many countries are kept in an art museum called the Louvre (卢浮宫) in Paris, France. The works of art have been collected by the people of France over many centuries. It is the biggest art museum in the world.

【解析】

本文是一篇说明文，介绍了卢浮宫的相关历史。

【1】细节理解题。根据In 1793, the Louvre became a public museum, just as it is now.可知卢浮宫到1793年成为了一个博物馆，算时间距今有200多年，故选D项。

【2】细节理解题。根据第二段The works of art have been collected by the people of France over many centuries. It is the biggest art museum in the world.可知多个世纪以来法国人民一直在收集艺术品。它（卢浮宫）是世界上最大的美术馆。这说明卢浮宫大部分的艺术品是法国人收集的。故选A项。

【3】细节理解题。根据第五段中的One of the artists was Leonardo da Vinci from Italy. He worked in Paris. 可知Leonardo da Vinci曾经在巴黎工作过，故A项在文章提到过；根据第五段的Mona Lisa is the best-known painting in the museum today可知蒙娜丽莎是卢浮宫博物馆现如今最有名的画作，故B项也在文章提及了；根据文章最后一段Every year millions of people from all over the world come to the Louvre to see the master-pieces.

可知每年来自世界的数百万人到卢浮宫来看杰作，是各种各样的人的旅游胜地，故排除D项。综上，A,B,D在文章中都有被提及，只有C项在原文中没有相关的信息，故选C项。

【4】推理判断题。根据最后一段It is a place where art treasures are kept for everyone to enjoy. Every year millions of people from all over the world come to the Louvre to see the master-pieces.可知现在卢浮宫是一个人人都可以是享受其收藏的艺术品的地方。每年，来自世界各地的数百万人来到卢浮宫参观杰作。这说明卢浮宫成为公共博物馆的好处就是每个人都有机会欣赏这些杰作。故选D项。

【5】主旨大意题。文章主要介绍了卢浮宫的历史，故B项（一个著名的艺术博物馆—卢浮宫）最适合做本文的标题，故选B项。

主旨大意主要的解题策略有：

（1）标题类。文章标题可以是单词，短语，也可以是句子，它的特点是：短小精悍，多为一短语；涵盖性强，一般要求能覆盖全文，其确定的范围要恰当，既不能太大，也不能太小；精确性强，不能随意改变语言表意的程度及色彩。如第5小题，要求给文章选择一个合适的标题，根据文章内容可知文章主要介绍了卢浮宫的历史， A，C，D项都只能概括文章内容中出现的某一段或某一句话，只有B项（一个著名的艺术博物馆—卢浮宫）能够覆盖全文，故选B项。

（2）主旨类。概括主旨的方法是：先看首尾或各段开头再看全文找主题句，若无明显主题句，就通过关键词句来概括(如议论文中寻找表达作者观点态度的词句，记叙文寻找概括情节和中心的动词或反映人物特点的形容词)。文中出现两种或两种以上的不同观点时，务必牢记作者的观点才是体现全文中心的。此时，要注意一些转折词，如but, yet, however, although, in spite of, by contrast, on the contrary等。当文章中表示相反的观点时，往往用到这些词。答题时要弄清哪个是作者的观点，排除迷惑性信息，准确归纳主旨大意。
