A.OUT.B.WBP.C.CRF.D.POT. 答案 A

解析 细节理解题。根据题干中的gocamping可以定位到第一则广告。由该则广告中的“YouwillbeabletotakepartinanumberofactivitiesfromcanoeingtowildcampingonDartmoor.”可知，这是户外探险活动，参与该活动可以划独木舟(canoeing)，也可以野营，因此选A项。

2.WhatwillthestudentsdoonTuesdaywithMrsWilson? A.TraveltoLondon. B.Seeaparadeandfireworks. C.TourcentralParis. D.VisittheWWⅠbattlefields. 答案 D

解析 细节理解题。根据题干中的MrsWilson可以定位到第二则广告。由该则广告中的“OnMondaywetraveltoLondon.AfterstayingovernightinLondon

，

MissDrake ￡150 wetravelonDay2tonorthernFrancetovisittheWorldWarⅠbattlefields.”可知，星期一参观者到达伦敦，第二天即星期二到法国北部参观第一次世界大战的战场，这与D项内容吻合。 3.HowlongdoesPottyaboutPotterlast? A.Twodays.

B.Fourdays.

C.Fivedays. 答案 A

D.Oneweek.

解析 推理判断题。根据题干可以定位到最后一则广告。该广告提到参观华纳兄弟工作室、去商店买野餐、在青年旅馆住一晚(stayovernight)，那么后面交代的坐船游览查韦尔河就应该是第二天的活动，由此推断这个活动的持续时间是两天。
