2. D. 分析: 与time搭配使用的介词是 in 和on, 空格所在的局部结构说“paying back(偿还), __2__ time（准时还钱) ”， 因此D是答案。

3． C。 分析： （be）dependent on.../依靠...

4. A. 分析: 后句中出现了credit reports,而且下一句是在对credit reports进行解释, “提出概念 + 解释说明”是写作中的常用逻辑, 因此判断A是答案.

5. C. 分析:空格前出现了不定冠词, 因此选取的单词的首字母的发音不能是元音, 因此C是答案.

6. A. 分析: 空格所在的结构是插入语结构， A放入空格中形成介词短语结构(插入语的一种常见结构形式)， 因此A（包括）是答案。如果 B， C， D出现在空格中， 空格所在的结构都不能成为完整的句子。

7. D。 分析: 空格所在的局部结构是： report to sb./sth. on (向某人/某机构汇报有关..的内容)

8. C. 分析: A和D是近义词, 所以彼此排除掉, 空格所在的局部结构说:paying back the money they..(偿还他们..的钱), 因此判断C(欠(债))是答案.

9.A 分析: in addition to../除…以外 

10．B．分析：judge后面常跟 whether引导的宾语从句或what, where, when, which 引导的宾语从句，而空格所在的从句中不需要名次性的成分，所以答案是B。

11．A． 分析：at a/the cost of…以..的价格/以..的代价

12. C. 分析: 空格所在的结构是跟在名词mistakes后面的定语从句, 因此答案是C。只有that可以引导定语从句。

13．A． 分析：空格所在的局部结构是过去分词的结构作定语， 修饰前面的laws.

14．D． 分析：空格前面说“以他人名义借款不还”， 这样最终的结果就是“毁掉他人的信用记录”。

15．B． 分析：(be)addicted to../沉溺于…

23、       Museums in the modern world

 

Museums have changed. They are no longer places for the privileged few or for bored vacationers to visit on rainy days. Action and democracy are words used in descriptions of museums now.

 

 

 

At a science museum in Ontario, Canada, you can feel your hair stand on end as harmless electricity passes through your body. At the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, you can look at 17th century instruments while listening to their music. At the Modern Museum in Sweden, you can put on costumes provided by the Stockholm Opera. As these examples show, museums are reaching out to new audiences, particularly the young, the poor, and the less educated members of the population. As a result, attendance is increasing.

 

 

 

More and more, museums directors are realizing that people learn best when they can somehow become part of what they are seeing. In many science museums, for example, there are no guided tours. The visitor is encouraged to touch, listen, operate, and experiment so as to discover scientific principles for himself. He can have the experience of operating a spaceship or a computer. He can experiment with glass blowing and papermaking. The purpose is not only to provide fun but also to help people feel at home in the world of science. The theory is that people who do not understand science will probably fear it, and those who fear science will not use it to the best advantage. Many museums now provide educational services and children's departments. In addition to the usual displays, they also offer film showings and dance programs. Instead of being places that one should visit, they are places to enjoy.

 

 

 

One cause of all these changes is the increase in wealth and leisure time. Another cause is the rising percentage of young population. Many of these young people are college students or college graduates, they are better educated than their parents. They see things in a new and different way. They are not content to stand and look at works of art; they want art they can participate in. The same is true of science and history. In the US., certain groups who formerly were too poor to care about anything beyond the basic needs of daily life are now becoming curious about the world around them. The young people in these groups, like young people in general, have benefited from a better education than their parents received. All these groups, and the rest of the population as well, have been influenced by television, which has taught them about places and other times.

 

 

 

The effect of all this has been to change existing museums and to encourage the building of new ones. In the US. and Canada alone, there are now more than 6,000 museums, almost twice as many as there were 25 years ago. About half of them are devoted to history, and the rest are evenly divided between the arts and sciences. The number of visitors, according to the American Association of museums, has risen to more than 700 million a year.

 

 

 

In fact, the crowds of visitors at some museums are creating a major problem, admission to museums has always been either free or very inexpensive, but now some museums are charging entrance fees for the first time or raising their prices. Even when raised, however, entrance fees are generally too low to support a museum, with its usually large building and its highly trained staff.
