v 答案解析
46. 【正确选项】B)项。根据题文同序原则定位到首段，关键词the Louvre带回原文定位到第二句话：Recent visitors to the Louvre report that tourists can now spend only a minute in front of the Mona Lisa before being asked to move on.(最近参观卢浮宫的游客说，现在只能在蒙娜丽莎前停留一分钟，然后就被要求继续前进。)The near impossibility of appreciating art是对原文now spend only a minute in front of the Mona Lisa的同义转述。
【干扰选项】A)项意为一项伟大艺术作品对于游客的巨大吸引力，原文中并未提及吸引力相关表述，本项是基于原文艺术作品和游客这两个信息点基础上的捏造。C)项长久珍视的艺术作品商业价值的不断增长。原文中确实有提及艺术作品，但商业价值定位句并未提及。D)项意为在人群中瞥一眼著作的真正困难。本项干扰性较强，同样也是提及到了人群之中欣赏著作的困难，但原文说到人们会停留2分钟，也能在面前拍照，因此不存在选项提到的瞥一眼都困难。
47. 【正确选项】A)项。根据题文同序原则定位到第2-3段，关键词the late philosopher Richard Wollheim spend four hours before a picture带回原文定位到第3段第2句，其中第2句和第3句均不解题，因此看下一句定位到It was only then that the picture would begin to disclose itself. (直到那时，这幅画才开始展露自己。)选项中appreciate a piece of art fully是对于原文begin to disclose itself的同意替换。
【干扰选项】B)项意为误解艺术作品很常见。原文中虽然提及第一个小时对于消除误解很必要，但并未提及误解常见与否以及这四个小时都是在针对误解而言。C项意为人们思考画作的时间越长，他们就越有可能喜欢它。本选项是对原文信息的误解，原文只是说道会展示画作真正的含义，而非人们是否会喜欢。D)项意为在一幅画前花的时间越多，就越能发现它的价值。同样也是过度推断，并未提及价值。
48. 【正确选项】C)项。题文同序模糊定位到第3段后半部分，关键词the case of the Uffizi in Florence show定位到The Uffizi in Florence, another site of cultural pilgrimage, has cut its entry queues down to seven minutes by clever management.(佛罗伦萨的乌菲兹美术馆，另一个文化朝圣的地方，通过机智的管理将入场排队时间缩短至7分钟。)C项Good management 是原文中原词复现，handling large crowds of visitors是原文中cut its entry queues down的同意替换。
【干扰选项】A)项意为美术馆中的艺术作品应该得到更好的照顾。原文并未提及相关信息。 B)项意为文化朝圣之地经常充斥着参观者。众多参观者相关的表述出现在本段最后一句，并非 问题所问。D)项意为大量的参观者造成了博物馆管理问题。与B项一样，也是答非所问。
