单选题 The main purpose of announcing the above events is to give information about ______.
【正确答案】 C
【答案解析】[解析] 主旨题。本题要求归纳写作目的。短文由三个部分构成，每个部分都介绍了一种娱乐活动，并且交代时间、地点、联系方式等，由这些方面和常识不难推知，文章是为了告诉读者在业余时间所能进行的娱乐活动，因此答案为[C]。
单选题 The underlined word "violin" probably refers to ______.
【正确答案】 B
【答案解析】[解析] 词义推测题。本题较为容易，因为violin(小提琴)不是一个生词。由其前的动词play可知，它应当是一种乐器或者体育活动，而由这一部分后文中的：musician(音乐家)可知，答案应为[B]。
单选题 If you want to find something to do just for Saturday afternoon, which telephone number will you call?
【正确答案】 A
【答案解析】[解析] 细节题。由题目中限定的时间Saturday afternoon回到原文中相应的时间部分进行对照，发现应当属于Music这一部分，它的电话之一就是[A]。
单选题 If you want to take your foreign friend John, who can't speak Chinese and hates classical music, to one of the performances, which telephone number will you call?
【正确答案】 C
【答案解析】[解析] 细节题。本题答题方法与上题一样，首先由题目中的限定条件can't speak Chinese可以排除“FILM: Together”，再由hates classical music可以排除“Music”，因此只剩下“Acrobatics”一种活动了，其电话之一是[C]，就是正确答案。
