【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇广告应用文。文章介绍了墨尔本海洋馆的基本情况,说明了墨尔本海洋水族馆的开放时间、位置、到达方式、便利和服务条款等内容。
【1题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一句“The all-new Sea Life Melbourne Aquarium, situated in the heart of Melbourne’s CBD, is one of Victoria’s leading visitor attractions and an unforgettable outing for the whole family.”(全新的墨尔本海洋生活水族馆,位于墨尔本CBD的中心,是维多利亚州的主要游客景点之一,也是全家难忘的出游)可知海洋生物墨尔本水族馆位于城市CBD的中心。故选A。
【2题详解】
细节理解题。根据“Getting to Sea Life Melbourne Aquarium”部分讲内容“The Sea Life Melbourne Aquarium train stop is located on the free City Circle Tram route and also routes 70 and 75.”(海洋生物墨尔本水族馆火车站位于免费的环城有轨电车路线和70和75号路线上)可知前往墨尔本海洋生物水族馆,游客可以乘坐电车线路70或75。故选D。
【3题详解】

【4题详解】
细节理解题。本题适合用排除法。A是错误答案,因为文中最后提到要支付后才能打印票;B项错误,因为票会在支付后用电子邮件发过来,而不是电子邮件订购;D项错误在于文中提到要自己打印,在入口处递呈。排除以上答案,只有C项正确。故选C。
考点:考查广告布告类阅读。
【点睛】
阅读的方法可以使用以下几种:
1.跳读:就是快速的一步阅读法。实际上是有选择阅读,找关键词。用这种阅读方法回答who、what、when、where之类的问题最为有效。
2.略读:指比跳读慢些的二步阅读法。即泛泛地、粗略地快速阅读,目的是了解大意,对文章有个总的概念。此种阅读方法能回答why、how之类的问题。
3.精读:即最细致、最慢的深层阅读方法,目的是求得对所读文章的全部意义的理解与掌握。
而对于广告类的文章,一定要掌握快递阅读的技巧,找到文章关键词,比如文章标题Sea Life Melbourne Aquarium(水族馆),我们可以很容易知道文章要介绍某个水族馆的情况,然后直接阅读题目,再在每个项目中找到细节信息即可。如第一小题Sea Life Melbourne Aquarium________.我们根据文章第一句“situated in the heart of Melbourne’s CBD”就可以找到答案。B偷换了discovery为place,表达不正确;C项为错误答案,允许进入的最后时间为5:00,而不是6:00。D项为错误答案,文章中用的是opposite对面,而不是beside旁边。故A正确。
