Farecard machines are in every station. Bring small bills because there are no change machines in the stations and farecard machines only provide up to $5 in change.

【解析】本文是说明文题材。在文中作者详细介绍了地铁站的一些信息。比如每位成年人持票可以携带两名五岁以下儿童乘坐地铁;Farecard的购买和使用情况;车票的价格;此处,作者还介绍了一些服务部门的电话号码以方便乘客的需要。
【1】考查细节理解。根据Metrorall (地铁)部分第二段内容“there are no change machines in the stations and farecard machines only provide up to $5 in change.”在车站没有零钱机自动售卡机只能提供5美元的零钱。可知自动售卡机只能最多找5美元的零钱,故答案选D。易错选项为A,文中的 Use it after 9:30 a,m. until closing on weekdays是使用farecard的时间,而不是farecard machines售票的时间。故选D。
【2】.考查细节理解。根据Hours of service的介绍部分“ Close midnight Sun-Thurs.;3a.m. ”Sat-Sun可知在周末停运时间是凌晨3点,故答案选B。
【3】考查细节理解。根据第三部分对Metrobus的介绍“When paying with exact charge , the fare is $1.35.When paying with a SmarTripcard , the fare is 1.25.”可知如果使用SmarTripcard的话,乘客可以节省0.1美元, 故答案选B。
