2024届新高考英语高频考点专项练习：专题十二 考点19 应用文（B卷）
1.Best Museums for Families
The California Academy of Sciences, San Francisco
The Cal Academy of Sciences locates in Golden Gate Park (one of the world's most beautiful city parks)—designed museum's glass walls and breathtaking bubble roof, planted with 1.7 million native plants. But inside, a combined natural history museum, aquanum, and planetarium easily keeps pace. Highlights include a four-story, 90-foot-in-diameter rainforest dome(穹顶) containing birds and butterflies, where you can climb into the treetops.
The Acropolis Museum, Athens
If persuading your family to go to an archaeological museum is usually a tough sell, the five-year-old Acropolis Museum will change all that: it's open, airy, and a joy to visit with lots of natural light to show the 4000 artifacts at their best. High-quality exhibits like the 2300-year-old statues of Nike easily catch the imagination. On weekends for those 13 and older, the museum's 3-D screenings bring the ancient castle to life.
Smithsonian Museums, Washington, D.C.
The world's largest museum complex (19 museums and galleries) and America's top free attraction houses 137 million objects—including a 3.5 billion-year-old fossil at the National Museum of Natural History; Dorothy's size five ruby(红宝石) red slippers in the National Museum of American History; and the Wright brothers' 1903 Spirit of St. Louis at the National Air and Space Museum.
Centre Pompidou, Paris
The Pompidou Center doesn't only house France's National Museum of Modern Art, its ground floor is also home to the Children's Gallery, aimed at kids ages two to 12 years. The genius here is that some activities often relate to the main exhibitions upstairs—for example, during the Alexander Calder show the Children's Gallery ran a program on making mobiles.
