【1题详解】
细节理解题。根据Global English Center部分的“Choice of morning or evening classes,3 hours per day, Mon.---Fri.(上午或晚上上课，每天3小时，周一至周五。)”和The International House of English部分的“A four-month evening program for developing speaking skills (same cost as day classes)( 一个为期四个月的培养口语技巧的晚间课程(与白天课程费用相同))”可知，如果你每天从早上9点工作到下午4点半，就只能上晚间课程，那么在这四所学校中只有Global English Center和The International House设有晚间课程。故选B。
【2题详解】
细节理解题。根据The 21st century English Training Center部分的“Entrance exams: June 1 and Dec.1.”可知，21世纪英语培训中心与众不同之处是需要进行Entrance exams (入学考试)，这一点在其他三所学校的广告中均未谈及；而其它如“教学质量好”、“离市中心近”等，在另外三所学校的广告中也可以见到。故选D。
【3题详解】
细节理解题。根据The International House of English部分的“Three/Six-month English courses for students of all levels at very low cost: 60 yuan for 12 hours per week(三个月/六个月的英语课程，适用于所有水平的学生，费用很低：每周12小时，60元)”和“A four-month evening program for developing speaking skills (same cost as day classes)( 一个为期四个月的培养口语技巧的晚间课程(与白天课程费用相同))”可知，广告中说“每周12小时60元”，那么四个月的课程需要60ⅹ4ⅹ4=960元，大约是1000元。故选D。
