In a famous lab trial, a chimp named Sultan put two interlocking sticks together and pulled down a bunch of bananas hanging just out of arm’s reach. Nearly a century later, eager tourists have conducted their own version of the experiment. Equipped with the camera extender known as a self-ie stick, they can now reach for flattering CinemaScope selfies wherever they go.
Art museums have watched this development nervously, fearing damage to their collections or to visitors, as users swing their sticks. Now they are taking action. One by one, museums across the United States have been imposing bans on using selfie sticks for photographs inside galleries(adding them to existing rules on umbrellas, rucksacks, tripods and monopods), yet another example of how controlling overcrowding has become part of the museum mission.
The Hirshhorn Museum in Washington prohibited the sticks this month, and the Museum of Fine Arts in Houston plans to impose a ban. In New York, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, which has been studying the matter for some time, has just decided that it, too, will forbid selfie sticks. "From now on, you will be asked quietly to put it away," said Sree Sreenivasan, the chief digital officer at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. "It’ s one thing to take a picture at arm’ s length, but when it is three times arm’s length, you are invading someone else’s personal space."
The personal space of other visitors is just one problem. The artwork is another. "We do not want to have to put all the art under glass," said Deborah Ziska, the chief of public information at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, which has been quietly enforcing a ban on selfie sticks but is in the process of adding it formally to its printed guidelines for visitors.
Last but not least is the threat to the camera operator, intent on capturing the perfect shot and oblivious to the surroundings. "If people are not paying attention in the Temple of Dendur, they can end up in the water with the crocodile sculpture," Mr. Sreenivasan said. "We have so many balconies you could fall from, and stairs you can trip on."
Recently, the newly-added items that are banned by museums in the US are______.
选项
A、backpacks
B、umbrellas
C、selfie sticks
D、supporting equipment for cameras
答案
C
解析
根据题干关键词定位到第二段。第三句意为“美国的博物馆一个接一个发布禁令,禁止在博物馆内使用自拍杆(之前已遭禁止的物品包括伞、背包、三脚架和单脚架)”,所以自拍杆是最近遭到禁止的物品,故C项为正确答案。backpacks是文中rucksacks的近义词.umbrellas是原文复现,D项“相机的支撑设备”是原文tripods and monopods“三脚架和单脚架”的上义词,三项均不符合题干,故排除。
