Tickets
Tickets cost £17 and £13 concessions (减价票).
Tickets are available to purchase on our website. We regret the necessary imposition (征收) of a £1.50 booking fee per ticket, but the increase in our own administration costs has made this unavoidable.
IMPORTANT NOTES
Concession tickets:
Please note, you will need to bring proof of eligibility (资格证明) to buy concession tickets. Student concessions only apply to those with proof of being in full-time education. Other categories for concession tickets include the old, unemployed and disabled.
Seating policy:
There are about 200 chairs at each venue available on a first come, first served basis. There is also a picnic area immediately in front of the chairs for audience members to sit on the lawn (草坪)－though this is ground-level only, you should not use your own chairs in this area. Please note: purchase of a ticket guarantees admission but does not guarantee a seat.

【分析】本文为广告布告类应用文。文章发布了一则广告，关于为了纪念玛格丽特·伊丽莎白·克里莉（Margaret Elizabeth Crilly），剑桥莎士比亚节举行一系列特殊的慈善表演，来支持弥尔顿的儿童收容所和威勒尔的圣约翰收容所。文章内容包括8个节目的表演时间、票价、减价票和座位安排。
【1题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“All special charity performances begin at 2:00 pm in their usual venues (会场)；normal performances begin at 7:30 pm.”可知，特殊慈善表演从下午2点开始，正常表演演出时间在下午7:30开始。所以特殊的慈善演出在演出时间方面不同于普通的慈善演出。故选B项。
【2题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Much Ado About Nothing 29 July-17 August”可知，在7月29日至9月17日，我们可以观看Much Ado About Nothing表演。所以7月30可以观看到Much Ado About Nothing。故选D项。
【3题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“Tickets cost £17 and £13 concessions (减价票).”和第五段“Other categories for concession tickets include the old, unemployed and disabled.（优惠票的其他类别包括老年人、失业者和残疾人。）”可知，一个残疾人要付£13才能预订一个晚上的演出。故选A项。
