The museum was free. We entered, excited. A grup f peple sitting in the hall stpped talking and stared at us.
“May I help yu?”a man asked. “N,” I said. “We’re fine.” Tur guides gt n my nerves. What if they talked a lng time abut a painting yu weren’t that interested in?Sally had gne upstairs. The peple in the hall seemed very nsy(愛窺探的),keeping their eyes n me with curisity. What was their prblem?I saw sme nice sculptures in ne rm. Suddenly I sensed a man standing behind me. “Where d yu think yu are?” he asked. I turned sharply. “The McNay Art Museum!” He smiled, shaking his head. “Srry, the McNay is n New Braunfels Street.” “What's this place?” I asked, still cnfused. “Well, it’s ur hme.” My heart jlted(震顫).I raced t the staircase and called ut, “Sally!cme dwn immediately!”
“There’s sme really gd stuff(藝術(shù)作品)up there.” She stepped dwn, lking cnfused. I pushed her tward the frnt dr, waving at the family, saying, “Srry, please frgive us, yu have a really nice place.” Outside, when I tld Sally what happened, she cvered her muth, laughing. She culdn’t believe hw lng they let us lk arund withut saying anything.
The real MeNay was splendid, but we felt nervus the whle time we were there. Van Ggh, Picass. This time, we stayed tgether, in case anything else unusual happened.
Thirty years later, a wman apprached me in a public place. “Excuse me, did yu ever enter a residence, lng ag, thinking it was the McNay Museum?”
“Yes. But hw d yu knw?We never tld anyne.”
“That was my hme. I was a teenager sitting in the hall. Befre yu came ver, I never realized what a beautiful place I lived in. I never felt lucky befre. Yu thught it was a museum. My feelings abut my hme changed after that. I've always wanted t thank yu.”

答案
【語篇導(dǎo)讀】作者講述了自己和朋友有一次誤闖進(jìn)了別人家,以為是所尋找的麥克內(nèi)伊藝術(shù)博物館的故事。多年后,房屋的主人偶遇作者,并表達(dá)了她的感激之情,因?yàn)樽髡哒`闖的經(jīng)歷讓她發(fā)現(xiàn)自己原來住在一個很美麗的地方,讓她發(fā)現(xiàn)了原來沒有發(fā)現(xiàn)的美。
1.A 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段第一句中的 called the McNay,nce the hme f a waterclrist named Marian McNay可知,瑪麗安·麥克內(nèi)伊是一位水彩畫家,故A項(xiàng)正確。
【微技能】細(xì)節(jié)理解題的解題技巧
細(xì)節(jié)理解題主要考查對特定細(xì)節(jié)或重要事實(shí)的辨認(rèn)能力。與答案相關(guān)的信息可以直接在文中找到。有的只需根據(jù)一個信息點(diǎn)即可選出答案,有的需要綜合多個信息點(diǎn)才能選出答案。
這種題型的解題方法為:(1)認(rèn)真閱讀題干,并畫出題干中的關(guān)鍵詞;(2)根據(jù)題干中的關(guān)鍵詞在文章中找相同或相似的關(guān)鍵詞句;(3)認(rèn)真閱讀文章中關(guān)鍵詞句所在部分,找到答案。
請注意:在細(xì)節(jié)理解題中,題干中的關(guān)鍵詞和文章中的關(guān)鍵詞之間通常以同義詞替換的形式出現(xiàn)。另外,當(dāng)在文章中找到相同或相似的關(guān)鍵詞句時,有時需要對其所在長難句進(jìn)行分析,精讀該部分。
2.D 推理判斷題。根據(jù)第四段中的Tur guides gt n my nerves.What if they talked a time abut a painting yu weren't that interested in?可知,作者誤把那位男士當(dāng)作導(dǎo)游,怕他談?wù)撘环约翰桓信d趣的畫,于是拒絕了他的幫助,故D項(xiàng)正確。
3.A 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第四段中的 The peple in the hall seemed very nsy,keeping their eyes n me with curisity.和 I asked,still cnfused.可知,大廳里的人都盯著作者,作者對于他們“奇怪的行為”感到很困惑。
4.D 推理判斷題。文章只是在倒數(shù)第四段用寥寥幾句描述了真正的麥克內(nèi)伊藝術(shù)博物館,文章大部分內(nèi)容都在描述自己誤闖入別人家中的尷尬事,而30年后,偶然遇見的房屋主人很感激作者,因?yàn)樽髡叩男蕾p讓她開始以新的眼光看待自己居住的地方。由此推斷,作者對于真正的麥克內(nèi)伊藝術(shù)博物館描述較少,是因?yàn)樽髡咴趧e人家里發(fā)生的故事影響更大。
5.C 推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段中的 Befre yu came ver,I never realized what a beautiful place I lived in.I never felt lucky befre.可知,在作者沒到他們家之前,房屋主人并沒有意識到他們所居住的地方有多么美麗,也從沒覺得住在那兒很幸運(yùn)。由此可推知,人們往對自己身邊的美視而不見。
