请认真阅读下列短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项A、B、C、D 中选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

A

A There are many famous museums throughout the world where people can enjoy art. Washington, D.C. has the National Gallery of Art (美术馆); Paris has the Luvre; London, the British Museum. Florida International University (FIU) in Miami also shows art for people to see. And it does so without a building, or even a wall for its drawings and paintings.

FIU has opened what it says is the first computer art museum in the United States. You don't have to visit the University to see the art. You just need a computer linked to a telephone. You can call the telephone number of a university computer and connect your own computer to it. All of the art is stored in the school computer. It is computer art, produced electronically by artists on their own computers. In only a few minutes, your computer can receive and copy all the pictures and drawings.

Robert Shostak is director of the new computer museum. He says he starts the museum because computer artists had no place to show their works.

A computer artist can only record his pictures electronically and send the records, or floppy discs, to others to see on their computers. He can also put his pictures on paper. But to print good pictures on paper, the computer artist needs an expensive laser printer.

Robert Shostak says the electronic museum is mostly for art or computer students at schools and universities. Many of the pictures in the museum are made by students. Mr Shostak said the FIU museum will make computer art more fun for computer artists because more people can see it. He says artists enjoy their work much more if they have

an audience. And the great number of home computers in America could mean a huge audience for the electronic museum.

46. The main purpose of this text is to give information about . A. museums throughout the world B. an electronic art museum in Miami, U.S.A. C. art exhibitions in Florida International University D. latest development of computer art

47. To see the art in FIU museum, you need . A. floppy discs B. a computer and a printer C. pictures and drawings on paper D. a computer connected to the museum by telephone line 48. The museum was started when . A. Robert Shostak wanted to do something for computer scientists B. Robert Shostak wanted to help computer artists C. art students needed a place to show their works
