问题     When an art museum wants a new exhibit, it buys things in finished form and hangs them on its walls. When a natural history museum wants an exhibit, it often must build it realistically— from a mass of material and evidence brought together by careful research.
    An animal, for example, must first be skinned. Photographs and measurements are used to determine the animal’s structure in a natural position fighting, resting, or feeding. Then muscle forms are built and a plaster shell is made. Finally the skin is pulled over the shell like a wet glove. This completes the animal subject.
    Displaying such things as stone heads, giant trees, and meteorites (陨石，陨星) is basically mechanical. Most other natural history exhibits present more difficult problems. For instance how can a creature be exhibited when it is too small to be seen clearly? In these cases larger-than-life models are built. The American Museum of Natural History has models of fleas (跳蚤), houseflies and a myriad (无数的) of other insects enlarged up to seventy-four times. The models show the stages of the insects’ development and the workings of their bodies.
According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?
选项 A、Exhibits in a natural history museum have to be enlarged up to seventy-four times.
B、An art museum buys its exhibits while a natural museum often has to construct its exhibits.
C、Models are displayed to show the insects’ development and the workings of their bodies.
D、Photographs and measurements are taken of animals so as to make the model appear more realistic.
答案A
解析 本题是一道判断是非题。问按照文章内容，下面哪个选项是不正确的。我们可以针对四个选项所给的内容，利用查阅式阅读法和排除法结合原文信息找出本题的正确答案A“自然历史博物馆中的展品必须放大为实物的74倍”。文章中在第三段倒数第二句话中提到了美国自然历史博物馆里有将原物放大多达74倍的跳蚤、家蝇和：无数其他昆虫标本。但并不表明所有的展品都需要放大74倍。其他选项B、C和D的内容在文章中都有涉及，是符合文章原文内容的选项，因此，都不是本题的正确答案。
