Answer 1

分析 本文是一篇说明文．主要介绍了英国伦敦国家美术馆的情况．具体分四大板块进行介绍：整体描述、布局、开放时间以及可以到达美术馆的地铁站．

解答 21．A．细节理解题．根据第一段中的Ithouses a diverse collectiong of more than 2，300 examples of European art ranging from13th-century religious paintings to more modern ones by Renoir and Van Gogh．可知它藏有从13世纪宗教美术作品到雷诺瓦和梵高的现代作品2300多份的各种各样的藏品．所以人们可以在这里看到13世纪的宗教图画．B、C、D三项中的图画都没有涉及religious这个词．故选A．
22．B．细节理解题．由第三段中的Themain West Wing houses 16thcentury paintings，and artists include Leonardo da Vinci…可知，达•芬奇的作品可以在the main West Wing中看到，其他几个地方都没有展出达•芬奇的画．因此选B．
23．D．细节理解题．根据最后一段中的Nearestunderground stations：Charing Cross（2minute walk）…可知，Charing Cross离国家美术馆只有步行2分钟的路程，其他几个地方离国家美术馆的距离都比Charing Cross远．故选D．
