神往于万里长城的宏伟和壮观，醉心于平遥古城的秀美与神秘，痴迷于哈尔滨冰城的晶莹与剔透，本文中的三则广告正好可以将你的心愿一一满足，游长城，庆圣诞，吃烧烤；品古风，走旧迹；游冰城，赏冰景，迎新岁……
1.C　这是一道细节推理题。看平遥古城无疑有助于了解中国古代人的生活。
2.A　这是一道词义猜测题。第一段广告中的远足活动有三个特色：游长城，庆圣诞，吃烧烤，这应该被体现在广告的标题中。从构词形式及发音可以猜测出，“BBQ”是barbecue的简缩写法，这与用“Xmas”表示Christmas的风格相同，barbecue“烧烤”，是一种用餐方式。
3.C　这是一道细节理解题。根据The town is one of the best-preserved featuring courtyard buildings of the Ming and Qing dynasties可知平遥古城是保存完好的古建筑，这正是它的特色，也是值得观光的主要方面。
4.B　这是一道细节理解题。广告中没有提供关于购物的信息。
