【解析】

试题分析：这是一篇关于去英国肯特郡旅游的文章。文章是以一个旅行团的角度来展开的，介绍了这一旅行团的一些优势和旅途的详细情况。

1. with us to the “Garden of England” and enjoy the best sight that the County of Kent can offer us.”和我们一起去英格兰的后花园——肯特郡，去享受它带给我们的极致风景，可知，游客只是享受肯特郡的风景而不是全英国的。故选项A排除。由第三段最后一句“the most beautiful castle（城堡）in England—Leeds Castle.”可知，利兹城堡是英格兰最美丽的城堡，但是并没有说是最古老的，故选项B排除。由第六段第一句“On all tours we will pick you up between 7:25 am and 7:45 am at YOUR chosen London Zone 1 location”可知，在旅途中，我们将在早上7点25——7点45这段时间里把您送去伦敦一区的任何您所选的地方,而不是去英国的任何地方，故选项D错误。由第三段第一句“We’ll travel on through some of the country roads of Kent only in mini tourist coaches”可知，我们旅途只能乘坐迷你旅游客车经过肯特郡的一些道路，所以选项C正确。故选C。

2. Adult—55.00; Under16— 50.00; A 10% off for a family”可知，一个成人的票价为55英镑，16岁以下的青少年票价为50英镑，全家一起可以有10%的折扣。所以the Greens是两个成年人，票价为110英镑，加上一个10岁的儿子，票价为50英镑，总共是160英镑。因为是全家人一起，所以有10%的折扣，160-160×10%=144，最后总共应,144英镑。故选B。

3. Anderson Tours direct at 020 7436 9304 (Monday-Friday, 8:00 a.m.-18:00 p.m.)”可知，旅行社的咨询电话为020 7436 9304，时间为星期一——星期五，上午8点——下午6点。只有选项D：星期三下午5点符合。故选D。
