【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍新加坡国家博物馆130周年庆典的时间，地点和庆祝活动等。
【1题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一栏和最后一栏中的click here可知，本文摘自网站。这里是说通过点击链接，即可获取更多信息。由此判断出，短文来自于网站。故选A.
【2题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一栏Mon—Thu,12Oct | 10a.m.—7p.m. (last admission 6:30 p.m.) 的信息点可知，周四允许游客进入博物馆的最后时间是6:30p.m.，正巧是Simon的下班时间，因此根本不可能赶上任何博物馆活动，故选B。
【3题详解】
细节理解题。根据With special programme designed for the National Museum, kids can draw their imaginary future museum可知，孩子们是使用一个特殊软件来体验VR，而不是自己去创造一个软件，因此A错。根据…animate（使……活灵活现） it by using their own body movements可知，孩子们可以通过移动他们的身体来构建虚拟世界，因此B正确。C选项虽然在原文有所提及，但答非所问，题目问的是“孩子们如何创造一个虚拟世界”，而C选项却说“与最终作品进行互动”，D选项与博物馆职员及志愿者举行仪式去创造虚拟世界，根本没提到，故选B。
