2.词意猜测题。sad悲哀的，难过的；excited激动的，兴奋的；nervous焦虑的，担忧的；confused糊涂的，困惑的，不清楚的。根据下文“they mistook the animals for mermaids（美人鱼）after too long out on the ocean.（他们在海上呆了太久，把这些动物误认为美人鱼。）”可知此句“It is said that when early delirious sailors from Europe finally arrived in Australia’s waters, ”句意是“据说，当来自欧洲的早期神志不清的水手最终到达澳大利亚海域时”，故“delirious”意思是“糊涂的，神志不清的”，选D。

4.细节题。根据表格中“Christmas Day Hours:9:30 am - 3 pm (last entry 2 pm) 圣诞节时间：9： 上午30点到下午3点（最后一次进入下午2点）”可知“圣诞节开放时间：（12-9：30）+3=5：30；即5个半小时，故正确，选B。
