【解析】
本文是应用文。文章是一份地铁使用指南,它详细地介绍了地铁的运营时间、购票优惠及注意事项等信息。
【1】细节理解题。根据Metrorail部分第二段中的“Bring small bills because there are no change machines in the stations and farecard machines only provide up to $ 5 in change.”可知,请乘客带上小面额钞票,因为车站没有零钱机,而票卡机最多只能提供5美元的零钱。即票卡机提供的零钱不超过5美元。故选D。
【2】细节理解题。根据Metrobus部分中的“When paying with exact change, the fare is $ 1. 35 and when paying with a SmarTrip card, the fare is $1. 25”可知,当旅客付零钱买票时,票价是1.35美元,而使用SmarTrip(智能旅行卡)付款时,票价为1. 25美元。因此使用SmarTrip(智能旅行卡)的好处是为用户节省金钱。故选B。
【3】细节理解题。根据Travel tips部分中的“If you lose something on a bus or train or in a station, please call Lost & Found at 202-962-1195.”可知,如果你在地铁巴士上,地铁车厢内或车站里丢失了东西,请致电202-962-1195,与失物招领处联系。故选A。

如何回答细节理解题?
提问文章细节的选择题一般针对文章中某个特定细节或涉及若干细节。一般来说,围绕文章细节的命题大部分题目都可以在原文中找到答案,或者需要稍微变通一下,寻找文中关键词的同义词或释意。例如小题2:根据Metrobus部分中的“When paying with exact change, the fare is $ 1. 35 and when paying with a SmarTrip card, the fare is $1. 25”可知,当旅客付零钱买票时,票价是1.35美元,而使用SmarTrip(智能旅行卡)付款时,票价为1. 25美元。因此使用SmarTrip(智能旅行卡)的好处是为用户节省金钱。故选B。
【题目】
WHERE TO GO IN AUGUST? | |
In Europe August is the height of the peak season! Millions of holidaymakers from around the world invade the beaches and countryside of Southern Europe. The climate is great for travel for just about the whole of the continent with just a few areas affected by extreme heat. The north of Europe is lovely during this month and summer is the ideal time to visit those countries that are generally considered a little cold and damp such as Ireland.Scotland or Holland. | In Asia This season is considered the least favourable.The monsoon(季风)season is at its height over the majority of this area with the exception of only a few countries (Kerala or Tamil Nadu in India,Bali and the southern islands of Indonesia,etc.) Everywhere else a hot,and very damp climate prevails(盛行). |
In Africa The Maghreb countries are crowded with tourists.The climate is hot and dry.The Atlantic coast of Morocco is pleasant thanks to the ocean influence.Further to the south it is the rainy season and it is only along the latitude(纬度)of Kenya and Tanzania that the climate becomes favourable to visitors. | In America The north is generally hot and dry(sometimes extremely hot in the deserts towards the west of the USA).Central America experiences a short rainy season at this time but towards the south the conditions are more favourable. |
To be avoided: Although July and August are favourable to travel“climatically”speaking,it is often not so pleasant when it comes to quietness and prices.The vast majorities of European countries have their main holidays during this period so the hotels are generally crowded and the prices high for the majority of destinations. |

【2】Besides climate,__________ can contribute to your disappointment when travelling.
