Answer 1

答案：C;A;B;D;D
解析：

(1) 题干意为“这篇文章想要告诉我们什么？”根据题中标题下的一行字How to...，意为“怎样不用花很多钱又能在芝加哥玩得愉快呢？”故选C，意为“怎样在芝加哥进行一次廉价的旅行”。 (2) 题干意为“如果在星期日你去the Art Institute (艺术馆) ，而不去the Sears Tower花的钱会怎么样？”见文中第一部分Sightseeing，去the Art Institute要$10.00，而去the Sears Tower要$8.50，故“花的钱会更多”，选A，more。 (3) 题干意为“如果你想要好好看看全城的景色，那么你可以去……”，见文中The Sears Tower...“上到103层，你就可以好好看看全城的景色”，故选B。 (4) 题干意为“如果你想以优惠价住在露丝文特大学的宿舍里，你至少得花……”，根据文中最后两句However...，意为“然而，你可以在露丝文特大学的宿舍里以215美元的价格选一个房间住上整整一周，但你必须得住至少30天才能获得这项优惠政策”，故30天为4周，1周210美元，4周为215×4＝860，选D，至少860美元。 (5) 题干意为“根据短文，下面哪个选项是不正确的？”D项意为“你一到就可以去The Oprah Winfrey Show买票”，而文中在Attend...一段中的最后一句意为“你要去The Oprah Winfrey Show必须在至少在一个月之前定票”，故不正确。其他三项都能在原文找到依据。
