Question

【題目】根據(jù)短文理解，選擇正確答案。
For many people around the world, a subway journey means speeding from one dull station to the next, surrounded by too many uncomfortable, impatient people. But on the Moscow Metro, taking the subway is like walking through a national heritage site. Depending on where you get off, you'll receive a brief course in architectural movements and face colorful glass windows, marble(大理石) columns, gilded(鎏金的) mosaics and painted scenes from Russian history.
“These extraordinarily beautiful places are unlike any metro station I've ever seen, “says Vancouver-based photographer David Burdeny.
When Burdeny, who himself has a master's degree in architecture, first found out about Moscow's metro stations, he was struck by the work of art. In all, he has photographed 20 of the most beautiful stations.
Burdeny had originally planned to focus on Russian stations more generally, taking photos of examples in both St. Petersburg and Moscow.
“But when I saw the stations in Moscow, they just completely blew away the St. Petersburg ones,” he says.
Shooting in the subway sounds simple, but it is not without challenges. For one thing, Burdeny had to figure out a way to access them between 00:30 a.m. and 5:30 a.m., when the stations were closed.
In the end, he settled on Arbatskaya Metro Station, whose vaulted(拱狀的) arches he found the most beautiful. But it also represented a challenge he was not sure if he was able to overcome: conveying the hugeness of the spaces. The Arbatskaya platform, for example, stretches 820 feet.
“Some of the arches are quite long,” he says. “When you enter them, they're just so completely grand.”

Answer 1

【答案】
（1）B
（2）D
（3）C
【解析】本文是一篇說明文。介紹了俄羅斯的地鐵不同于世界其他地方的地鐵，以及與之相關(guān)的信息。

⑴考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第三段中的”In all, he has photographed 20 of the most beautiful stations.“可知實際上他拍攝了20多個車站的照片。故B項正確。

⑵考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段”But it also represented a challenge he was not sure if he was able to overcome: conveying the hugeness of the spaces. The Arbatskaya platform, for example, stretches 820 feet.“可知在Arbatskaya Metro Station，他發(fā)現(xiàn)要想把這里很長的拱狀建筑拍出來很難。故D項正確。

⑶考查詞義猜測。根據(jù)第三段中的”In all, he has photographed 20 of the most beautiful stations.“可知實際上他拍攝了20多個車站的照片。下一段敘述他在Arbatskaya Metro Station仍然在介紹他拍攝照片，故C項正確。
