【小題1】D

【小題2】B

【小題4】B

解析:

【小題1】考點(diǎn)是：學(xué)生的細(xì)節(jié)查找能力。

根據(jù)文章首段第一句可知，游客們應(yīng)在入口處對其所帶物品接受檢查，故答案為D項。

【小題2】 考點(diǎn)是：細(xì)節(jié)理解能力。

文章第二段明確指出：限于條件，美術(shù)館沒有足夠的空間來容納體積大于17×26英寸的物品，可知正確答案為C項。

【小題3】考點(diǎn)是：的細(xì)節(jié)理解能力。

根據(jù)文章第四段第二句soft front baby carries是可以被允許進(jìn)入的，其他幾項均表述錯誤。所以此題正確答案為A項。

【小題4】考點(diǎn)是：細(xì)節(jié)理解能力。

從文章倒數(shù)第二段可知，除去一些特別的展品和嚴(yán)格禁止的地方，只要是限于個人使用的拍照（或錄像）是可以被允許的，可確定B項為最佳答案。
