【1】細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文中的信息ADMISSION：Adult：￡4.90，Child：￡2.20，Family：￡12.0，（2 adults+up to 3 children），可知，一個家庭中，兩個大人可以帶3個小孩，票價是12元，史密斯夫婦帶著4個孩子，所以有一個孩子要購買一張兒童票，票價是2.2元，因此史密斯夫婦和他們的4個孩子應(yīng)付款14.2元，故答案選B。

【2】詞義猜測題。根據(jù)下文The House has Welcomed visitors traveling from all over the world, for over 250 years.250年來，這座房子一直歡迎來自世界各地的游客，結(jié)合The property remained in the ownership of Shakespeare's family until 1806.本句語境“直到1806年，這處…一直歸莎士比亞家族所有�！笨芍�此處表達的是“房子”，結(jié)合選項可知D選項符合題意，故答案選D。

【3】文章來源題。通讀全文的內(nèi)容來看，本文主要介紹Shakespeare出生地這個旅游景點的一些情況，所以應(yīng)該是節(jié)選自旅游手冊，故答案選A。
