【答案】l.A2.D3.C

【解析】

【导语】本文是一篇应用文，介绍了参观悉尼歌剧院的三种方案。

【1题详解】

细节理解题。根据TheEssentialTour下面的“Prices:Adults$35/Online$29.75（价格：成人$35/在线$29.75）”

可知，成人票为35美元，但网上购买时价格为29.75美元，所以在TheEssentialTour中游客在线买票可以

获得降价。故选A。

【2题详解】

细节理解题。根据TheBackstageTour下面的"Youmightevengettostandontheconcerthallstage,takeupa

conductor'sbaton（指挥棒）intheorchestrapitandimagineyouareleadingtheperformance.（你甚至可以站在音乐

厅的舞台上，在乐队席拿起音乐指挥的指挥棒，想象着你在指挥演出。）”可知，在TheBackstageTour中游

客可以假装自己是一个音乐指挥。故选D。

【3题详解】

细节理解题。根据OperaHighTea下面的“Takesplace:EverysecondWednesday,2pm（举行时间：每隔一个

星期三下午2点）”和“Duration:1.5hours（持续时间：1.5小时）”可知,OperaHighTea每隔一个星期三举行，

从下午2点开始，持续1.5小时，也就是到下午3点半。故选C。
