Answer 1

【小题1】C
【小题1】A
【小题1】D
【小题1】D

解析1. Ｃ　文章主旨题的考查。根据How to have fun in Chicago without spending a lot of money?以及下面列出的要点可知是告诉我们如何在芝加哥旅行花钱更省，故选Ｃ。
2. Ａ　细节题的考查。根据文章说The ticket is ＄10.00,but go on Tuesdays and you’ll get in free(免费)可知星期二免费，其它时候（包括星期天）收＄10.00，故花得多些，选Ａ。
3. Ｄ　根据最后一段可知住一星期至少＄215，但前提是住一个月，故至少需要215*4＝860，选Ｄ。
4. Ｄ　细节题的考查。从For The Oprah Winfrey Show you’ll have to book tickets at least a month before可知一个月前就能订票，故到后马上可以取到，故Ｄ错，其它答案都可在原文找到。
