问题     Children’s museums in America are delivering a report card to be envied.
    Since 1990, estimated I00 youth museums have opened, with at least 80 more in the planning phase. There are now 215 such institutions in the United States focusing on a variety of themes and subjects, although many are mainly designed for science popularization.
    "Children’s museums are the fastest-growing cultural institutions in the world," says Janet Rice Elman, executive director of the Association of Youth Museums in the US. "That trend will continue as we see more communities wanting to start up children’s museums to enrich civic (公民的) and family life."
    With the availability of these new facilities, attendance has sky-rocketed, in 1991, 8 million people visited US children’s museums; last year, 33 million people went through their doors.
    This cheerful picture is part of a comprehensive look at children’s museums released last week by the association during its annual conference in St. Louis.
    The growth can be traced to the nation’s rising number of children, the push to foster learning from a variety of approaches, and the increasing popularity of museums in general.
    Children’s museums are a favorite destination for groups of school children on school-organized "field trips". During these days outside the classroom, students have the chance to learn about a range of topics in a fun, hands-on way.
    Students visiting a children’s museum can see exhibits on anything from natural history to anatomy (解剖学) to astronomy (天文学). The museums focus on interactive learning, with games and demonstrations designed to help kids learn without realizing they’re doing so.
    The museums are also a popular destination for families, allowing parents to become more involved in their kids’ education and give parents and children a chance to have fun together. [br] In children’s museums school pupils can ______.
选项 A、have a chance to do field study
B、broaden their horizons in different ways
C、experience things in an interesting way
D、form groups to discuss different topics
答案 C
解析 此题问在儿童展览馆学生们可以做什么。根据第七段最后一句“During these days outside the classroom，students have the chance to learn about a range of topics in a fun，hands-on way．”可得知，C项是答案。句中的in a fun，hands-on way意思是“用有趣的方式体验”。A项内容与原文不符，原文中的field trips是“实地考察旅行”之意，而非“现场研究”的意思；B项和D项内容与文章意思不符。
