Question

A museum in the Netherlands is trying to show visitors more of the objects it has and bring them more excitement.It is using an augmented reality（增强现实）device made by Microsoft to reach its goal.However,the use of this high-technology device started with a basic problem.

The Dutch National Museum of Antiquities does not have enough space to put all of its artifacts（人工制品）on display.So,the museum asked experts at Delft University of Science and Technology to find a way to let more visitors—especially young people—experience what the museum has to offer.

The experts used the Hololens（全息透镜）.It is a computer that shows visitors holograms,or virtual pictures that appear to have three dimensions.

Annelies Maltha,a researcher at the University,says that almost 80 percent of the artifacts at the museum are not shown to the public."So by using the Hololens,"she adds,"people can virtually visit the exhibit and see so much more."

The Dutch National Museum has artifacts like the Egyptian Temple of Teffeh.The structure was reconstructed inside the museum in 1971.It is not currently available to the public.

"The Hololens enables you to have augmented reality,instead of virtual reality,which means you can still see the temple,you can still feel the ancient vibe（氛围）around you,so to speak."The augmented reality technology gives visitors the ability to interact with their surroundings.

The researchers are using the Hololens to make three dimensional images of every room in the temple.Erik Hoglund,another researcher,explains that his team can create 3D models and add different images,movies,or animations.The effect is to make visitors feel like they are interacting with the temple.

The Hololens program is still being developed.But museum officials hope that,in the future,the Hololens will serve as a tour guide for exhibits that have been hidden from public view.

【解析】本文属于说明文。主要介绍荷兰的一家博物馆将使用微软开发的“全息透镜”技术来展示更多的项目给参观者。“全息透镜”技术能够解决博物馆展览的占地缺乏问题，吸引更多年轻人，并且能够使参观者身临其境。

1.考查上下文指代。根据文中第一段“.....to show visitors more of the objects ...”可知“its goal”是指博物馆的目的是展示更多项目给参观者。故选C.

2.细节理解题。根据第一段“.....an augmented reality（增强现实）device made by Microsoft.....”可知此增强现实的仪器是Microsoft开发的。故选C。

3.推理判断题。根据文中第六段“... gives visitors the ability to interact with their surroundings.”以及第七段“... to make visitors feel like they are interacting with the temple.可知全息透镜能够使交互作用成为可能，故选D。

4.预测推理题。根据文中第二段“...to let more visitors—especially young people—experience what the museum has to offer.”可知博物馆将会吸引更多年轻参观者，a正确。第四段“...people can virtually visit the exhibit and see so much more.”可知全息透镜技术能够展示出更多博物馆原本不能展示的项目，b正确。最后一段“Hololens will serve as a tour guide for exhibits that....”可知未来导游的需求将会减少，d正确。C错误，“People would travel back to ancient times”，“人们能够回到古代旅行”，全息技术并不能使人回到以前。故选A。
