解答 69.答案D.细节理解题.根据"He even took his building bricks to college with him!he had a model of Greenwich Village made of bricks on his desk."可知他甚至把积木建筑带到了大学里,在他的桌上有一个用积木搭成的格林威治村模型,故选D.
70.答案C.细节理解题.根据"Nathan started as a lawyer but gave up His highly-paid (高薪的) job to become an artist that uses toys in his art."可知他为了成为一个将玩具使用在艺术上的艺术家放弃了高薪的律师工作,故选C.
71.答案B.根据"Since it began in2007,Nathan's exhibition"The Art of the Brick"has been very popular with museum visitors everywhere."可知自从它开始于2007年,Nathan关于"积木的艺术"的展览一直很受各地参观者的欢迎,根据句意,所以"it"应当是指"Nathan的展览"故选B.
72.答案A.题目拟定题.根据全文可知,这篇文章主要讲述的是Nathan的故事,文章以人物为线索展开,"B.积木展览,C.针对成年人的积木,D.艺术家的童年"都过于片面,只是文章的一部分,所以"积木艺术家"最为合适,故选A.
