Answer 1

  1.B 2.D 3.C 4.B

分 析：
本文介绍了纽约水族馆的一些详细信息，比如说各个季节的开馆时间，票价及注意事项等。 1.第一段中提到纽约水族馆中可以看到Penguins，第二段中提到dolphins and seals，故只有panda没有提到，故选B 2.根据Suggested donation is $13 for adults $9 for children and $10 for seniors，及car$13 bus$13 即5个成年人，一个老人，两个小孩，可计算出5×13+1×10+2×9+2×13= $119，故选D 3.根据最后一段Every dollar you give supports our work in caring for animals at the aquarium可知捐助的每一分钱都会用来关注水族馆的动物，故选C。 4.根据最后一段All Aquarium buildings and exhibits are wheelchair-accessible可以判断出B为正确答案。
