Read the FAQ to make your family theatre trip a pleasant one. Can children go to all theatres? Most shows are suitable for people aged 12 or older. Some productions might have material that is too mature for younger theatregoers. However, there are also fantastic family shows which are appropriate for all ages, or which are specifically aimed at kids. Are children booster seats available? Some theatres, though not all, provide booster seats-for example, Nederlander theatres rent height-adjustable seats for £1 if you ask a member of staff. They are available on a first-come, first-served basis. Some venues will also have height restrictions so that audience sitting behind you can still see. Are there frequent breaks throughout the duration of a performance? If it’s a show for a general audience, there will usually be one or two intervals based on the running time. Most shows designed specifically for younger audiences will have short running times, like an hour or less. Can I bring my own snacks and drinks into the theatre? Most theatres won’t allow you to bring your own snacks and drinks. They sell food and drink in the theatre and that’s part of how they bring in profit. If you have concerns about dietary requirements, you can contact the theatre beforehand to make arrangements. Find all the latest recommendations and more information about the rules on Telegraph Tickets, or check with the box office. 1. Where is the text probably from? A. A theatre guide. B. A drama review. C. A show advertisement. D. A performance schedule. 2. Which best describes booster seats? A. Found in every theatre. B. Provided free of charge. C. Required by safety rules. D. Offered in limited number. 3. What are the theatres’ concerns behind their food policies? A. Financial gain. B. Food safety. C. Cleaning cost. D. Audience experience. 【答案】1. A 2. D 3. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章是关于伦敦剧院的常见问题解答。 【1题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“Read the FAQ to make your family theatre trip a pleasant one.(阅读常见问题解答，让你的家庭剧院之旅愉快)”以及后文对伦敦剧院各种常见问题的详细解答可知，文章旨在为去剧院的人提供相关信息和指导。“A theatre guide(剧院指南)”符合文章的性质和用途。B项“A drama review(戏剧评论)”主要是对戏剧内容、表演等方面进行评价；C项“A show advertisement(演出广告)”侧重于宣传演出；D项“A performance schedule(演出时间表)”主要呈现演出的时间安排，均不符合文章内容。故选A项。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Some theatres, though not all, provide booster seats for example, Nederlander theatres rent height adjustable seats for £1 if you ask a member of staff. They are available on a first come, first served basis.(一些剧院，并非所有剧院，提供增高座椅。例如，如果你向工作人员提出要求，Nederlander剧院会以1英镑的价格出租可调节高度的座椅。这些座椅是先到先得的)”可知，并不是每个剧院都有增高座椅，且是收费出租的，也未提及是安全规则要求的，而先到先得，说明数量是有限的。故选D项。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段中“Most theatres won’t allow you to bring your own snacks and drinks. They sell food and drink in the theatre and that’s part of how they bring in profit.(大多数剧院不允许你自带零食和饮料。他们在剧院内出售食品和饮料，这是他们盈利的一部分)”可知，剧院的饮食政策是为了获得经济收益。故选A项。 （三） （2025·广东省二模） Boost Camp for KIDS FIRST!

Read the FAQ to make your family theatre trip a pleasant one. Can children go to all theatres? Most shows are suitable for people aged 12 or older. Some productions might have material that is too mature for younger theatregoers. However, there are also fantastic family shows which are appropriate for all ages, or which are specifically aimed at kids. Are children booster seats available? Some theatres, though not all, provide booster seats-for example, Nederlander theatres rent height-adjustable seats for £1 if you ask a member of staff. They are available on a first-come, first-served basis. Some venues will also have height restrictions so that audience sitting behind you can still see. Are there frequent breaks throughout the duration of a performance? If it’s a show for a general audience, there will usually be one or two intervals based on the running time. Most shows designed specifically for younger audiences will have short running times, like an hour or less. Can I bring my own snacks and drinks into the theatre? Most theatres won’t allow you to bring your own snacks and drinks. They sell food and drink in the theatre and that’s part of how they bring in profit. If you have concerns about dietary requirements, you can contact the theatre beforehand to make arrangements. Find all the latest recommendations and more information about the rules on Telegraph Tickets, or check with the box office. 1. Where is the text probably from? A. A theatre guide. B. A drama review.
