【解析】

试题分析：这篇阅读材料涉及四所学校的招生广告，都是关于英语学习的。浏览后面的题目，根据其具体要求就能选择出适合于自己的学校。

【1】细节理解题. 既然白天工作，连周末都工作，那么只能选择晚上有课程的学校了。那么在这四所学校中只有Global English Center和The International House设有晚间课程。不难判断A为正确答案。

【2】细节理解题。21世纪英语培训中心与众不同之处是需要进行Entrance exams (入学考试)，这一点在其他三所学校的广告中均未谈及；而其它如“教学质量好”、“离市中心近”等，在另外三所学校的广告中也可以见到。因此D为正确答案。。

【3】细节计算题。广告中说“每周12小时60元”，那么一个月四周要240元，因为是六个月的课程，所以大约需要1500元。故选C。
