问题    The questioning of the role of the publie gallery is not a new phenomenon. It is something that has been argued over since its very conception, and the debate is ongoing.
   "Museum’ and ’gallery’ are interchangeable words to describe any building used to exhibit objects of historic or artistic interest. Museums, in this sense, are a relatively recent phenomenon, going back no more than a couple of hundred years, to the latter part of the eighteenth century. During this period until the mid twentieth century, they were designed to resemble older ceremonial monuments such as palaces and temples which signified their associations with secular, and not religious beliefs. Secular truth meant a rational, verifiable and objective knowledge and thus, Art Museums, not only because of the scientific and humanistic disciplines practiced in them, such as conservation, art history, archaeology etc. , were seen as preservers of the community’s official cultural memory. Consequently, it can be argued that museums should be placed at the centre of the modern relations between government and culture. As a powerful social metaphor and as an instrument of historical representation, museums are crucial measurements of social changes.
   The idea of the museum has to, therefore, be ’reborn’ and some of its characteristics and challenges are clear. An understanding that communication is the basis on which culture is both maintained and transformed, demands a new approach to museum pedagogy. Schools and Colleges Programmes have become an integral part of museums globally. The Irish Museum of Modern Art which opened in nineteen ninety-one, for example, has a major education initiative inherent in its ethos. It has developed a number of programmes and projects intended to address the needs of specific groups, such as schools and colleges. During the academic year, IMMA invites teachers and tutors from pre-primary, primary, secondary and third-level schools and colleges to bring their class groups to the museum for pre-booked tours, gallery talks or to meet artists participating in the Artist’s Residency Programme.
   In Britain, local education authorities are developing a range of new initiatives to encourage effective co-operation between schools and museums. Schools can integrate what they have learned from museum resources into many aspects of the curriculum which also contributes to preparing pupils for the opportunities and experiences of adult life. Examples given indicate how work in history and art is enhanced by access to museum resources and the possibilities of learning are improved by first hand experience. Links between museums and schools are the foundation for wider contacts between museums and their communities but these liaisons between museums and the worlds of education must take new forms and use new strategies if we are to capture the interest and imagination of a new generation.
The last paragraph suggests that ______.
选项 A、museums can be built in different schools
B、students can learn more by visiting museums
C、a new generation of museums are still to come
D、adults can also benefit from school curriculum
答案B
解析 问题指向尾段：考生应注意四个选项和尾段各个句子的对应关系。选项A提到“不同学校”建设博物馆，但是尾段第二句讲述学校结合博物馆开展教学活动，动词部分的表述明显不妥。选项B来自第三句：Examples given indicate how work in history and art is enhanced by access to museum resources and the possibilities of learning are improved by first hand experience．选项C出现在最后一句，但是未来将出现的不是博物馆，而是博物馆与社会的“联系方式”。选项D中的“成年人”是不相关信息，没有体现在段落中。
