【解析】

这是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了关于四个特殊的实践活动的价格、时间以及内容等等。

1.细节理解题。由题干中的“takes the longest time（花费最长时间）”可知，我们应在文章中找与这四项活动的时间（Typical duration）有关的信息。阅读这几个活动的时间我们知道：Fruit picking一般持续30~60分钟；Cheese/butter making一般持续40~60分钟；Washi paper一般持续30~60分钟；Tatami making一般持续将近两个小时。故选D。

2.细节理解题。根据 Cheese/butter making部分“Cheese and dairy products are commonly made in northern Japan, especially in Hokkaido. Some farms offer cheese and butter making workshops. Visitors usually learn how to make the product and consume it on the spot. The Furano Cheese Factory is one place that offers such workshops.（奶酪和乳制品通常产于日本北部，尤其是北海道。一些农场提供奶酪和黄油制作车间。游客通常学习如何制作产品并当场食用。呋喃诺奶酪工厂就是提供此类车间的地方。）” 可知参观者可以在北海道生产乳制品。故选A。

3.推理判断题。阅读全文以及根据第一段“Hands-on activities can enrich a trip by creating fond memories and instilling knowledge about the local culture through interactivity. In Japan, a wide range of activities are offered to tourists at single workshops，many open air museums, as well as craft villages across Japan.（实践活动可以通过创造美好的回忆和通过互动灌输当地文化的知识来丰富旅行。在日本，在单个工作坊、许多露天博物馆以及日本各地的手工艺村为游客提供各种各样的活动。）”可知这些活动都是一些实践活动。故选C。
