问题    Museums have changed a lot. They are no longer places that people "should go" but places people enjoy. At a science museum in Canada, you can feel your hair stand on end as harmless electricity passes through your body. At the children’s museum in New York, you can play an African drum. There are no "Do Not Touch" signs in many museums in the USA.
   More and more museum directors have realized that people can learn best when they become part of what they are seeing. In many science museums, visitors are encouraged to touch, listen, operate and experiment so that they can discover scientific rules for themselves.
   The purpose is not only to interest the visitors, but also help them feel at home in the world of science. If people don’t understand science, they will be afraid of it; and if they are afraid of science, they will not make the best use of it.
   One cause of all these changes is the increase in wealth and spare time. Another cause is the growing number of young people in the population. Many of them are college students or college graduates. They see things in quite a new different way. They want art in which they can take part. The same is true of science and history.
   The old museums have been changing and the government is encouraging the building of new, modern museums. There are more than 6 000 museums in the United States and Canada, almost twice as many as there were 25 years ago.
Which of the following is NOT true according to this passage?
选项 A、People are discouraged to become a part in what they are seeing.
B、People should go to museums to learn something.
C、People will understand science better by trying to discover the scientific rules themselves.
D、People are enjoying themselves fully in modern museums.
答案A
解析 本题要求根据课文辨别是非。[A]项和文中的“visitors are encouraged to touch, Listen, operate and experience”的意义相反。discourage是encourage的反义词。而其余几项都可以在文中得到注明。所以答案是[A]。
