What does the speaker mainly discuss?
Hello, I’ll be your tour guide here at the art museum so I’d like to welcome you to this month’s exhibit of native American pottery. First I’m going to tell you something about the way this pottery was created. Pottery was made all over ancient North America by many different groups of people. One of the earliest of these ancient American cultures was the Hohokam people. They lived in what is now Arizona from about 300 BC to 1500 AD. And it’s their pottery that you will be looking at today. All of the pottery was made from clay. Some objects were for everyday use, like containers for food and water: pots for cooking and mugs, bowls and ladles for drinking and eating. You will also see finger rings and animal-shaped incense burners which we believe were probably used in special rituals. The Hohokam formed their pottery vessels from coils of clay. They shaped them with special tools to create very thin sides on the vessels. Afterwards they painted the pottery with red designs. Actually many of the pieces here have designs right on them that show how the pottery was used. Now I hope you’1l enjoy the beauty and the uniqueness of the Hohokam pottery and that it will give you some interesting insights about the people who created it.
选项
A、To introduce a speaker to a group.
B、To provide background information for a special exhibit.
C、To describe an upcoming video presentation.
D、To introduce a lecture series.
答案
B
解析
主题总结题。从短文的内容来看,讲话者是一个导游,他主要是给参观艺术博物馆的观众介绍在博物馆展出的美国土著制作的陶器的情况。接下来的大部分的内容都是关于美国土著制作这些陶器的方法,可以推知,讲话者的目的是想给参观者尽可能多的关于这个展览的背景信息,选项B为正确答案。
