    Lancaster Castle is open daily for guided tours, special events and group bookings. Visitors can enjoy the courtyard spaces, external (局部的) views of the historic building, two small exhibition spaces, and the gift shop without charge, but public access to the interiors(内部) of the castle buildings is for guided tours only.

Please note that dogs are not allowed inside the Castle, but assistance dogs are the exception to this rule. All areas are also smoke-free.

OPENING TIMES

We are open 7 days a week (except for the Christmas/New Year period) from 9:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., with guided tours running throughout the day. Tours last about 60minutes.

这是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了英国兰卡斯特城堡的开放时间和票价等相关信息。

1.

细节理解题。根据第一段第二句中“Visitors can enjoy the courtyard spaces, external (局部的) views of the historic building, two small exhibition spaces, and the gift shop without charge,(游客可以免费参观庭院空间、历史建筑的局部风景、两个小型展览空间和礼物商店)”可知，两个小型的展览空间的门票免费。故选A项。

2.

细节理解题。根据TICKET PRICES部分的内容可知，一张成人票价是8英镑，一张儿童票价是6.5英镑，如果一家四口单独购买则需支付29英镑，而购买一张家庭票（可包括两个成人和两个儿童）只需支付20英镑，所以可以节省29-20=9英镑。故选C项。

3.

细节理解题。根据THE GIFT SHOP部分中“Visitors can explore our gift shop and buy special souvenirs designed according to their own preference. The designs are done by professional designers without charge.(游客可在礼品店选购自己喜爱的纪念品。设计由专业设计师免费完成。)可知，兰卡斯特城堡的礼品店为游客提供免费的纪念品设计。故选B项。
