M: Hey honey, (1) where do you think we should go for our honeymoon?
W: I’ve always wanted to go to Canada, especially Quebec.
M: That sounds fine to me. Canada is our neighboring country. Since we have a tight schedule, let’s go there then.
W: Really? I picked up a lot of brochures about tourism in Canada. Let’s take a look at all the things we can do in Canada, but I’d like to put Quebec as my priority.
M: Sure, but what do you want to do in Quebec?
W: A million things!
M: Such as?
W: We can’t miss Montreal. (2) The city abounds in lots of tourist attractions such as Notre-Dame Basilica, the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts and the well-known Expo 67. Besides, I want to pay a visit to McGill University.
M: Sounds fun. I heard that Notre-Dame Basilica is a significant part of the Catholic religious heritage of Montreal.
W: Yeah. This brochure shows that the Basilica’s vast size, executed in the Gothic Revival style, the extraordinary craftsmanship and artistic polish of its fittings, its many fine works of religious art, and the interior of its chapel are its distinct heritage features.
M: I bet it must have a very long history.
W: You are absolutely right! It was inaugurated in 1829.
M: (3-1) So what is the greatest ornament of it?
W: (3-2) I’d say the pulpit. In earlier times, the priest would mount the steps to deliver his sermon. From his position above the congregation, his voice could be heard throughout the church, without electronic amplification. Isn’t it amazing?
M: Sure. (4-1) How about the theme of this church? I guess each church has a religious theme or something.
W: (4-2) The theme chosen by the artist shows the march of humankind toward God, represented in the form of the Holy Trinity: the Father symbolized by a shining sun, the Son by the head of Jesus and the Holy Spirit by an immense bird with extended wings. The three arches signify the difficult stages of life, the return of human beings to their Creator. The last arch represents the passage from this life to the next, illustrating at the same time the hope of eternal happiness.
M: Sounds holy! How about the museum you have mentioned? Is it the biggest one in Canada?
W: You mean the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts? Let me check the brochure. (5) It is said here that it is Montreal’s largest museum and is amongst the most prominent in Canada.
M: What do we expect to see there then?
W: Well, the permanent collection of this museum includes approximately 41,000 works. We can appreciate works by Old Masters, as well as several of the largest collections of drawings of the Swiss painter Ferdinand Hodler. Besides, the original "reading room" of the Art Association of Montreal was the precursor of the current library of the museum. It is the oldest library in Canada dedicated to art.
This is the end of Part One of the conversation. Questions 1 to 5 are based on what you have just heard.
1. What is the conversation mainly about?
2. Which is NOT included in the things the woman wants to see in Montreal?
3. What is the greatest ornament of Notre-Dame Basilica?

5. What do we know about the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts?
