Plan Your Visit to the British Museum
We've made a few changes to ensure you can safely enjoy your visit:
How to book tickets
·Tickets for the permanent collection can only be hooked online in advance.
·To book tickets for exhibitions, visit our exhibition pages. If you want to guarantee your visit to the permanent collection as well as the exhibition on your visit, you will need to book a separate ticket.
·We are limiting numbers of people in the museum to ensure there is room for you to safely enjoy your visit. Everyone, including members and volunteers, will therefore need to book a free, timed ticket in advance.
Important information about your ticket booking
·You can book up to six tickets for people who live in the same family.
·We will email your ticket to you, and you will need to show it either printed out or on your device (设备) when you arrive.
·Please arrive at the time stated on your ticket-we cannot guarantee admission before or after it.
Following the route
We have created a new one-way route through the museum which will allow you to safely explore world cultures from the Mediterranean to the Middle East and from the Americas to Africa.
·View a map of the route (Open in a new window).
·Our audio guides (音频指南) are not available. However, you can pay to download the audio introductions from iTunes (Open in a new window) or Google Play (Open in a new window) to each of the galleries and listen on your own device. Please remember to bring along your own headphones.

【1题详解】
细节理解题。题目问的是为何博物馆要提供此种记时票（特定时间段可用），根据文中“如何订票”的第三小点“We are limiting numbers of people in the museum to ensure there is room for you to safely enjoy your visit. Everyone, including members and volunteers, will therefore need to book a free, timed ticket in advance.”（我们限制了在馆人数，以确保有足够的空间让你能安全地享受参观之旅。因此，包括会员和志愿者在内的所有人都需要提前预订一张免费的限时票）可知，此举是为了控制在馆参观人数，故选D。
【2题详解】
细节理解题。题目问的是参观者如何提前了解新路线。根据公告中Following the route部分第一小点“View a map of the route (Open in a new window)”，即“查看路线地图(在新窗口中打开)”可知，此处点击超链接可以打开“新窗口”，直接查看在线地图，故选A。
【3题详解】
推理判断题。本题要求判断文章可以在哪里找到。观察文章，在最后两个小点中，出现了三次“(Open in a new window)”，即“（在新窗口中打开）”，这一表述明显具有互联网、计算机的色彩，让读者点击超链接打开新窗口；此外，最后一点中还出现了iTunes（苹果公司的音乐软件）和Google Play（谷歌应用商店），具有强烈的提示作用，可见这篇公告不是刊登在纸质报纸或者杂志上的，而应是刊登在电子网页（网站）上，故选C。
