【解析】

試題分析：這是一篇關(guān)于去英國肯特郡旅游的文章。文章是以一個旅行團的角度來展開的，介紹了這一旅行團的一些優(yōu)勢和旅途的詳細情況。

1. with us to the “Garden of England” and enjoy the best sight that the County of Kent can offer us.”和我們一起去英格蘭的后花園——肯特郡，去享受它帶給我們的極致風(fēng)景，可知，游客只是享受肯特郡的風(fēng)景而不是全英國的。故選項A排除。由第三段最后一句“the most beautiful castle（城堡）in England—Leeds Castle.”可知，利茲城堡是英格蘭最美麗的城堡，但是并沒有說是最古老的，故選項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，我們將在早上7點25——7點45這段時間里把您送去倫敦一區(qū)的任何您所選的地方,而不是去英國的任何地方，故選項D錯誤。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，我們旅途只能乘坐迷你旅游客車經(jīng)過肯特郡的一些道路，所以選項C正確。故選C。

2. Adult—55.00; Under16— 50.00; A 10% off for a family”可知，一個成人的票價為55英鎊，16歲以下的青少年票價為50英鎊，全家一起可以有10%的折扣。所以the Greens是兩個成年人，票價為110英鎊，加上一個10歲的兒子，票價為50英鎊，總共是160英鎊。因為是全家人一起，所以有10%的折扣，160-160×10%=144，最后總共應(yīng),144英鎊。故選B。

3. Anderson Tours direct at 020 7436 9304 (Monday-Friday, 8:00 a.m.-18:00 p.m.)”可知，旅行社的咨詢電話為020 7436 9304，時間為星期一——星期五，上午8點——下午6點。只有選項D：星期三下午5點符合。故選D。
