es.【答案】21.C22.D23.C【解析】【导语】本文是一篇应用文，主要介绍了面向儿童的WeTheCurious科学博物馆的相关信息。【21题详解】推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Theydressedupasbeestocatchpollen(花粉
)madecheese,watchediceform,weighedhumanbrainsandstretchedoutstripsofDNAtocomparethegeneticsequence(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£14.50foradultsand£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。根据第四段中的“WeTheCuriousisneartheNationalCycleNetwork(routes3,4,and33).Themuseumhaslotso
fbicycleparking.Alternatively,it’sa10-minutewalkfromBristolTempleMeadsrailwaystationorafive-minutetaxirid
eor17-minuteferryride.(WeTheCurious靠近国家自行车网（路线3、4和33）。博物馆有很多自行车停车场。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)2023-2024学年高三上学期第一次联考】Havingspentmorethanadecadeonthedanceflo

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-knownoceanexplorerwhooncespent31dayslivinginwhatisnowtheworld’sonlyfunctioningunders
eahabitat,Aquarius.(著名的海洋探险家FabienCousteau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——A
quarius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,orpand

海洋。持续维持海洋栖息地是昂贵的，它必须自己泵入或制造空气、电力和淡水。居民们必须应对高压。)”可知，人们之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“Noteveryoneagreesthatbuildinghomesintheoceanisagoodidea.Thistypeofdevelopmentcouldplaceevenmorestrai
nonecosystemsthatarealreadystrugglingwithpollutionandclimatechange.(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“Somet

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届江苏省百校大联考高三上学期第二次考试】Wemayweepforthedodo,butcouldandshouldwebringthislovelybirdbackfromthedead

小说里，他想象了一个科学家能够让恐龙复活的世界。克莱顿设想聚合酶链式反应（PCR）技术可能是一种扩增(放大)微小数量的恐龙DNA，从而构建了一个活的胚胎。)”可知，第二段的主要内容是一个关于灭绝动物复活启发性猜测。故选C
。【33题详解】细节理解题。文章第三段讲到“Sadly,biologistssoonrealizedthatDNAinfactbreaksdownsuper-fast;evenafter100years,DNAfrommuseumsk
insofdodoswasdecayed(腐烂)beyondrepair.(可悲的是，生物学家很快意识到DNA实际上分解得非常快；即使在100年后，博物馆里渡渡鸟皮肤上的DNA也腐烂得无法修复。)”可知，克隆活胚胎的障碍是很难长期保存。故选A。【
