阅读理解Artificial(假的)flowersareusedfor

阅读理解 Artificial(假的) flowers are used for scientific as well as for decorative purposes. They are made from a variety of materials, such as wax and glass, so skillfully that they can scarcely be distinguished from natural flowers. In making such models, painstaking and artistry are called for, as well as thorough knowledge of plant structure. The collection of glass flowers in the Botanical Museum of Harvard University is the most famous in North America and is widely known throughout the scientific world. In all, there are several thousand models in colored glass, the work of two artist-naturalists, Leopold Blaschka and his son Rudolph.The intention was to have the collection represent at least one member of each flower family native to the United States. Although it was never completed. It contains more than seven hundred species representing 164 families of flowering plants, a group of fruits showing the effect of fungus diseases, and thousands of flower parts and magnified details. Every detail of these is accurately reproduced in color and structure. The models are kept in locked cases as they are too valuable and fragile for classroom use.1.Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A.An Extensive Collection of Glass Flowers B.The Lives of Leopold and RudolphC.Flowers Native to the United StatesD.Material Used for Artificial Flowers2.It can be inferred from the passage that the goal of Leopold and Rudolph was to _______.A.create a botanical garden where only exotic flowers grewB.do a thorough study of plant structureC.make a copy of one member of each United States flower familyD.show that glass are more realistic than wax flowers3.The underlined word “it” refers to _______.A.the intentionB.the collection C.one memberD.each flower family

ACB解析1.短文说明了美国the Botanical Museum of Harvard University收藏玻璃花的目的、收藏品的丰富、精致的细节等内容,所以用An Extensive Collection of Glass Flowers作标题最合适。2.　根据第二段的“The intention was to have the collection represent at least one member of each flower family native to the United States.”可知收藏的目的是把美国所有的花都复制一种。3.　根据它前后的内容:目的是使收藏能代表美国的每一类花,尽管还没有完成,只能是收藏还没有完成。

这个答案应该是对的
