【解析】本文介绍了现代博物馆的功能，跟人们带来知识的同时也为人们提供了学习的机会。
（1）考查固定搭配，no longer不再。故选B。
（2）考查非谓语动词，不定式作后置定语。故选C。
（3）考查动词的时态。as引导时间状语从句，从句中缺谓语，并且主语electricity是不可数名词，所以选A。
（4）考查不定代词other的辨析。the other（两个中的）另一个；others别的人或物；the others其余的人或物；other adj.别的，后跟名词。故选D。
（5）考查时态。句意：越来越多博物馆馆长已经意识到人们成为他们正在看的东西的一部分时会学得更好。主语directors是复数形式，排除A，句中其他动词是现在时态，故排除D，B现在完成时表示已经意识到；C一般现在时表示经常动作不合题意。故选B 。
（6）句中有are，只能选A表示正在看。
（7）根据下文but also可知这里是not only。故选C。
（8）条件状语从句，从句中用一般现在时表示一般将来，主句用一般将来时。故选D。
（9）考查固定搭配：one……another；所以答案是C。
（10）as+形容词/副词原级+as，因为前面museums是复数形式，所以用many。故选A。
