【3】B

【解析】

这是一篇说明文。短文向游客介绍了一些关于乘坐澳大利亚普芬比利蒸汽火车旅行等相关事宜。

【1】推理判断题。由“Australia’s Favourite Steam Train中的“The present line between Belgrave and Gembrook travels through the forests and farmlands of the magnificent Dandenong Ranges.” 现在贝尔格雷夫和杰姆布鲁克之间的线路穿过雄伟的丹东山脉的森林和农田。以及General Information中具体内容可以判断出，以上资料主要是提供给可能乘坐蒸汽火车的旅客。故选B项。

【2】细节理解题。根据Alcohol – is not permitted on trains (except as provided in dining cars).可知，列车上禁止饮酒（餐车除外）。所以人们不准带酒上游览火车。故选D项。

【3】推理判断题。由“General Information”中的“Easy access toilets are at Belgrave, Lakeside and Gembrook.”可知，只有Belgrave, Lakeside and Gembrook.这三个站点设有残疾人士厕所。所以判断出并非所有车站都设有残疾人士厕所。故选B项。

通过对事物的否定或者半否定也是解决推理判断的重要方法之一。由“General Information”中的“Easy access toilets are at Belgrave, Lakeside and Gembrook.”可知，在所有车站中，只有这三个地点设有残疾人士厕所。所以我们推断出，不是所有的车站都设有残疾人士厕所。实际上是对事物的不完全否定。所以同学们要结合句意，通过对事物的否定或者半否定解决推理判断题。
