【语篇解读】 本文是一篇由四则广告组成的应用文。分别介绍了一个讲座、一个喜剧演员的演出、一个喜剧演员的工作室以及一个有爵士乐和美食的好去处。

1．Who can help you if you want to have your music produced? A．Jules Skye. B．Gee Whizz. C．Charlotte Stone.

D．James Pickering.

解析：细节理解题。从题干的“have your music produced”判断本题的答案出处在第一则广告，该广告说：“你是否有兴趣成为音乐人，得到录制唱片的合同？”然后说晚上7点半有朱勒·斯凯的报告，因此选A项Jules Skye。根据该广告最后一句话也可得出答案。

答案：A

2．At which place can people of different ages enjoy a good laugh?

A．The Cyclops Theatre. B．Kaleidoscope. C．Victoria Stage.

D．Pizza World.

解析：细节理解题。带着题干的“不同年龄的人欢笑”这个信息，从这几则广告中寻找相关信息。答案在第二则广告里，该广告说，Gee Whizz是最滑稽的单口喜剧演员(stand－up comedian)，他的表演能够让下至孩童上到老人(from the youngest to the oldest)的所有人快乐。表演的地点是Kaleidoscope，因此选B项。

答案：B

3．What do we know about Simon's Workshop? A．It requires membership status. B．It lasts three hours each time. C．It is run by a comedy club. D．It is held every Wednesday.

解析：细节理解题。本题涉及第三则广告的相关信息。从“5：00pm—7：30pm Wednesdays at Victoria Stage”可以判断，该活动每个星期三举办，故D项正确。每次两个半小时，排除B项；文章没有提到需要有会员资格，排除A项；也没有提到喜剧俱乐部，排除C项。

答案：D

4．When will Charlotte Stone perform her songs? A．5：00pm—7：30pm. B．7：30pm—1：00am. C．8：00pm—11：00pm. D．8：30pm—10：30pm. 解析：细节理解题。从题干可知解本题的信息来自最后一则广告

，该广告开头就交代了时间：晚上8点到11点，因此选C项。

答案：C

B
