【1题详解】
细节理解题。根据ArchivedImages标题下第一句Want to find out about a new band, or just want more information about an old favourite?(想了解一个新乐队，还是只想了解一个旧乐队的更多信息？)可知在ArchivedImages这里可以给大家提供许多关于乐队的信息。故此题选C。
【2题详解】
推理判断题。根据Show-in-a-day!下最后一句Get your friends and family to come and see you perform, as no videoing or photography is allowed(请你的朋友和家人来看你的表演，因为不允许录像或摄影)可知Show-in-a-day!这个地方是不提供视频录像的。然后根据Rhythm-studio最后一句Learn your steps from our professional onscreen dance instructor, then watch your performance and become the star in your own video recording which you can take away!(从我们专业的屏幕舞蹈教练那里学习你的舞步，然后观看你的表演，成为你自己的录像中的明星，并且你可以带走自己的录像)可知Rhythm-studio是允许拍照和录像，还能带走录像。所以我们推断出Rhythm-studio与Show-in-a-day!的不同之处就是在于可以录像，并且可以带走录像。所以C项Rhythm-studio allows people to bring videos home(Rhythm-studio允许人们带自己的录像回家)满足推断。故此题选C。
【3题详解】
推理判断题。根据本文大意我们可以知道，这篇文章主要介绍了四个可以学习音乐和舞蹈的地方。由此我们可以推断出是在给这四个地方做宣传，所以A项In a newspaper(在一份报纸中)满足题意。故此题选A。
