【分析】
本文是一则广告，介绍了戏剧“The Age of Innocence”的预定方式、票价以及折扣等具体信息。
【1题详解】
细节理解题。根据“The Box Office is open from Monday to Saturday, 10 a.m.—8 p.m.”可知购票处星期天是不开放购票的，故B项正确。
【2题详解】
细节理解题。根据“Saver: $ 2 off any seat booked any time in advance for performances from Monday to Thursday. Savers are available for children up to 16 years old, over 60s and full-time students.”可知16岁以下的儿童和60岁以上老人以及全日制的学生可以有2美元的优惠。D项中“A 20-year-old full-time college student”符合这个要求，故D项正确。
【3题详解】
细节理解题。根据“Standby: best available seats are on sale for $ 6 from one hour before the performance for people eligible (suitable) for Saver and Supersaver discounts and thirty minutes before for all other customers.”可知并不是所有的站票都是6美元，C项计算是错误的。
【点睛】本文三个小题都考查了细节理解题，部分细节题是可以直接从文章中找出答案，如小题1，直接根据“The Box Office is open from Monday to Saturday, 10 a.m.—8 p.m.”可知答案应该是B项；有的细节理解题只要直接辨认不要求读者对客观的事实做出解释或判断，只要求从阅读材料中直接获取信息。同时还要求读者记住重要细节，在必要的时候（做判断、推断或结论的时候）能够准确而迅速地将他们回忆起来。解此类题要求考生快速抓住原文中的关键信息，直接得出答案，但要注意往往答案与原文中的语句并非一模一样，而是用不同的词语或句型结构表达相同的意思。
