Ⅱ Comprehension: Indirect information.
Is it possible to put millions of years of the world’s history into one building? The British Museum seems to think so.
“A History of the World in 100 Objects”, an exhibition about rare and ancient objects from the world, has made it a success. The British Museum says it owns at least 8 million historical objects. But why choose these 100 objects to tell stories of our world’s history?
It all started with a challenge.
Neil MacGregor, who was once director of the British Museum, was asked to choose 100 objects from the museum’s huge collection. The objects had to include things from the beginning of human history about 2 million years ago to the present day.
MacGregor accepted and took four years to choose each object himself.
(B) How many historical objects were the 100 objects chosen from?
A.2 million.
B.8 million.
C.100 million.
D.2,010 million.
