做细节理解题时一定要找到文章中的原句,和题干进行比较,再做出正确选择。在做推理判断题时不要以个人的主观想象代替文章的事实,要根据文章事实进行合乎逻辑的推理判断。如第2小题,要求判断出一个48岁的父亲带着他16岁的女儿和5岁的儿子至少应该支付多少钱。根据Prices部分中的 Adult price: 45 per person Discount price: 40 per person (Seniors over 60 and children between 5 and 15; unfortunately, we don’t allow children under 5 years old on the tour)(成人价格:每人45英镑折扣价格:40英镑/人(60岁以上老人和5 - 15岁儿童;遗憾的是,我们不允许5岁以下的儿童参加)可知,48岁的父亲和16岁的女儿的票价都是45,5岁的儿子的是40,加起来一共130。故选C。
