1.细节理解题。根据“BusyBeaverButtonMuseum”中“Learnaboutthehistoryofbuttons.Appreciateacollectionofpolitical,humorous,andjustplainentertainingbuttons.”（了解纽扣的历史。欣赏收集的政治，幽默，只是简单的娱乐纽扣。）可知在该博物馆可以看到各类不同的纽扣，选项B与文意一致，故选B。2.细节理解题。根据题干关键词“spacecivilization”，对应“InternationalUFOMuseumandResearchCenter”中“TheIUFOMRCinRoswell,NewMexico,isdedicatedtoansweringthesequestionsandresearchingUFOactivity.Itincludesexhibitsoncropcircles,Area51andotheralien-relatedevents.ItevenkeepsanofficialrecordofUFOsightingsacrossthecountry.”（位于新墨西哥州罗斯威尔的国际空间站，致力于回答这些问题，研究UFO活动。展品包括麦田怪圈，51区和其他与外星人有关的事件。甚至还有全国各地UFO目击事件的官方记录。）可知，该博物馆会对外星人和不明飞行物（UFO）问题进行探索，所以对太空文明感兴趣的话，可以来这个博物馆。选项D符合题意，故选D。3.推理判断题。根据全文第一句“Somemuseumsholdstrangercollectionsthanothers.Here'sourlistoftheextremelyunusualones.”（有些博物馆的藏品比其他博物馆更奇特，这是我们列出的极不寻常的藏品。）可知，文章介绍的这些博物馆的相同点是都有不同寻常的展品。故选C。BWhite-crownedsparrowsaretoughbirds,abletosurvivethehustleandbustle(喧闹)ofmanyNorthAmericancities.Butgrowingnoisepollutionhasforcedmalestosinglouder,lesseffectivesongsinordertobeheardbyopponentsandfellows.ElizabethDerryberry,abehavioralecologist,andhercolleagueshavestudiedwhite-crownedsparrowsinandaroundSanFranciscoformorethan2decades,comparingtheirsongswithrecordingsmadeinthe1970s.Astrafficlevelsincreased,thelowestfrequenciesofthesparrows’songsrose,soasnottobedrownedoutbythebackgroundnoiseofvehicles.Buttheirtopfrequenciesremainedaboutthesame,narrowingthetotalbandwidth(频宽)oftheircommunication.Birdssinglouderinnoisyenvironments,andresearchhasshowntheresultingstresscanspeedagingandthrowtheirmetabolisms(新陈代谢)intodisorder.Noisecanalsokeepthemfromhearingtheirownchicksorthewarningsoffellowbirds;itmayevenbedrivingdownbirddiversityinmanycities.Whenthepandemiclockdownbeganinmid-March,aphotooftheemptyGoldenGateBridgemadeDerryberrywonderhowthesparrowswererespondingtothequieterconditions.Shecouldn'ttraveltoCalifornia,buthercolleague,JennyPhillips,abehavioralecologistinCalifornia,recordedthebirdsinSanFranciscoandthesurroundingareas.Herrecordingsrevealedthatthesparrowsweresinging30%softer,onaverage,thanbeforethelockdown.What’smore,theyweresingingsongswithbandwidthstypicalofbirdsrecordedinthe1970s.Thenewfindingis“goodnewsfromthepointofviewofthebirds”,saysSueAnneZollinger,azoologistwhostudiesbirdsatManchesterMetropolitanUniversity.Byshowingthesparrowscanadjusttheirsongstotheirenvironment,thestudysuggestsspecieswithmoreflexiblebehaviorscandealwithaspectsofchangingenvironments.24.Whatisthesecondparagraphmainlyabout?A.Anewstudyofsparrowspecies.B.Influenceonbirdsfromcitytraffic.C.Frequenciesofsparrows’songs.D.Thedifficultyofbirds,communication.25.Whatdoestheunderlinedphrase“drivingdown”inParagraph3probablymean?A.Losingcompletely.
