Answer 1

【小題1】C
【小題1】A
【小題1】D
【小題1】D

解析1. Ｃ　文章主旨題的考查。根據How to have fun in Chicago without spending a lot of money?以及下面列出的要點可知是告訴我們如何在芝加哥旅行花錢更省，故選Ｃ。
2. Ａ　細節題的考查。根據文章說The ticket is ＄10.00,but go on Tuesdays and you’ll get in free(免費)可知星期二免費，其它時候（包括星期天）收＄10.00，故花得多些，選Ａ。
3. Ｄ　根據最后一段可知住一星期至少＄215，但前提是住一個月，故至少需要215*4＝860，選Ｄ。
4. Ｄ　細節題的考查。從For The Oprah Winfrey Show you’ll have to book tickets at least a month before可知一個月前就能訂票，故到后馬上可以取到，故Ｄ錯，其它答案都可在原文找到。
