【解析】本文是一篇应用文。叙述了第六届剑桥科技节的通知，通知要求5至14的学生可以报名参加，参赛作品可以是一张画、一篇文章、一张照片或一首诗，作品能够鼓励人们探险世界。将在大桥科技节4月21日给优秀作品颁奖。
(1)B细节理解题。根据Thechallenge invites,even dares school studenrs between the ages of 5--14 tocreate artwork or a piece of writing that shows their curiosity。可知是5—14岁的学生可以参加比赛，故选B。
(2)D细节理解题。根据Studentswho enter the Cambridge Challenge and are selected as winners will be honornedat a special ceremony during the CSF on Sunday,April 21st.可知颁奖仪式在4月21日星期天举行，故选D。
(3)C推理判断题。根据短文的内容及The program guidelines and other related information areavailable at:http://cambridgesciencefestival.org.可推知这是一个通知，如果想了解更多的信息可以登陆这个网址。故选C。选项A展览指导或说明，如果是这一项的话，短文应该写出展览的时间及地点，那么让学生参加比赛及颁奖部分的内容就是多余的；故不符合原文；选项B艺术展回顾或评论，它的内容应该写的是对这种展览过后的评价，因而短文的句子的时态不会用将来时，而应该用一般过去式；而这篇短文用的是将来时；故排除B。选项D一个官方的报道。根据The Cambridge Science Festival (CSF) is pleased to informyou Of the sixth annual Curiosity Challenge.可知这里是剑桥科技节的名誉写的通知，而并非官方，故排除，故选C。
