這是一篇說明文。文章主要介紹了如果想要去白宮參觀，你需要注意的事項。

【1】細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第一段中“Due to security and scheduling procedures, there are a few things you should know before requesting a tour” 出于安全和日程安排程序的考慮，在申請參觀之前，您應該了解以下幾點。由此可知，本通知旨在提供申請參觀白宮的信息。結(jié)合選項，故選C。

【2】細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)注意事項第三點“Tours are only conducted Tuesday through Saturday from 7:30 am to 11:30 am.” 旅游只在星期二至星期六上午7:30至11:30進行。由此可知，白宮每周向公眾開放五天。結(jié)合選項，故選B。

【3】細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)注意事項第二點“Requests must be submitted with a minimum of one month’s advance notice from the date of the tour.” 申請必須在旅行之日起至少提前一個月提交。結(jié)合選項，故選B。

細節(jié)理解題是閱讀理解中常見的題型。考生在做這類題時一定要仔細審題，弄懂題干，題干當中往往有重要信息，然后回文定位，找到依據(jù)。比如此題第3題要求判斷若想去白宮參觀，游客必須提前多長時間申請。根據(jù)注意事項第二點“Requests must be submitted with a minimum of one month’s advance notice from the date of the tour.” 申請必須在旅行之日起至少提前一個月提交。結(jié)合選項，故選B。
