ripsofDNAtocomparethegeneticsequence(基因序列)ofamonkeyandanarmadillo.(他们打扮成蜜蜂捕捉花粉制成的奶酪，观察冰的形成，称重人脑，并伸出DNA条来

比较猴子和犰狳的基因序列。)”可推知，在WeTheCurious科学博物馆，孩子们可以参加富有教育意义并且有趣的活动。故选C。【22题详解】数字计算题。根据第三段中的“pay£14.50foradultsan

d£9.50forkids(aged3—15)”可知，成人14.5英镑，3—15岁的孩子9.5英镑，所以一对夫妇带一对5岁的双胞胎儿子需要的花费是：14.5×2+9.5×2=48英镑。故选D。【23题详解】推理判断题。根据第四段中

。或者，从布里斯托尔寺院草原站步行10分钟，或乘坐5分钟出租车或17分钟轮渡。)”可知，WeTheCurious科学博物馆靠近国家自行车网，离火车站很近，而且乘坐出租车和轮渡均可在短时间内到达，由此可推测出，该博物馆位置便利。故选C。B【Z20名校联盟(浙江省名校新高考研究联盟)2023

28.C29.B30.C31.D【解析】【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍的是未来海底城市的展望以及建立海底城市存在的问题。【28题详解】细节理解题。根据第二段中的“FabienCousteau,awell-knownoce

anexplorerwhooncespent31dayslivinginwhatisnowtheworld’sonlyfunctioningunderseahabitat,Aquarius.(著名的海洋探险家Fabien

Cousteau曾经在现在世界上唯一一个正常运作的海底栖息地——Aquarius内生活了31天。)”可知，FabienCousteau说他在唯一一个正常运作的海底栖息地——Aquarius内生活了31天，由此可知，Aquarius是现在

唯一一个正常运作的海底栖息地。故选C项。【29题详解】主旨大意题。根据第三段中的“Escapingfromdisasterssuchasclimatechange,wars,orpandemicsisonereasontoliveunderthesea.Others

所以生活在海底是为了逃避气候变化、战争或流行病等灾难，而且维持海洋栖息地是非常昂贵的，由此可知，第三段讲述了人们生活在海底的原因以及所面临的挑战。故选B项。【30题详解】细节理解题。根据尾段中的“Noteveryoneagreesthatbuild

limatechange.(并不是每个人都同意在海洋里建房子是个好主意。这种发展可能会给已经在与污染和气候变化作斗争的生态系统带来更大的压力。)”可知，并非所有人都赞成在海洋里建房子，因为在海底建房子会使得与污染和气候变化作斗争的生态系统带来更大的压力，由此可知，

在海底建房子会对海底的生态系统造成负面的影响。故选C项。【31题详解】推理判断题。根据首段“Sometalkofbuildingsettlementsonthemoonormarstohelpmakesurehumanitysurviveslongintothe

future.Othershavetheirsightssetclosertohome:onfuturecitiesundertheocean.(一些人谈到在月球或火星上建立定居点，以帮助确保人类在未来长期生存。其他人则把

目光投向了离家更近的地方：未来的海底城市。)”可知，为帮助确保人类在未来长期生存，很多人把目光投向建立未来海底城市，由此可知，本文讲述的内容有种科幻的性质，所以文章可能出自于科学杂志。故选D项。D【2024届
