【答案与解析】
本文是一篇由四则广告组成的应用文。分别介绍了一个讲座、一个喜剧演员的演出、一个喜剧演员的工作室以及一个有爵士乐和美食的好去处。
1．A 细节理解题。从题干的“have your music produced”判断本题的答案出处在第一则广告，该广告说，“你是否有兴趣成为音乐人，得到录制唱片的合同？”然后说晚上7：30有Jules Skye的报告，因此选A项Jules Skye。根据本广告最后一句话也可得出答案。
2．B 细节理解题。带着题干的“不同年龄的人欢笑”这个信息，我们去这几则广告中寻找相关信息。答案在第二则广告里，该广告说，Gee Whizz是最滑稽的单口喜剧演员(standup comedian)，他的表演能够让所有人快乐，下至孩童上到老人(from the youngest to the oldest)。表演的地点是Kaleidoscope，因此选B项。
3．D 细节理解题。本题涉及第三则广告的相关信息。从5：00 pm—7：30 pm Wednesdays at Victoria Stage可以判断，该活动每个星期三举办，故D项正确。每次两个半小时，排除B项；文章没有提到需要有会员资格，排除A项；也没有提到喜剧俱乐部，排除C项。
4．C 细节理解题。从题干可知解本题的信息来自最后一则广告，该广告开头就交代了时间：晚上8：00到11：00，因此选C项。
