【题目】Westminster Abbey, founded in 1065, was the King’s place of residence until the 16th century. Since 1066, the Norman Conquest, it has been the “Royal church”—the place where kings and queens are crowned when they take the throne(即位).
It has also been the site of many royal weddings and funerals. King George VI, got married there in 1923; twenty four years later, his daughter, Queen Elizabeth II married Prince Phillip there; on April 29, 2011, Prince William also married Kate Middleton there. While fourteen years ago, the funeral service for Princess Diana, William’s mother, took place there.
It is also famous for its Poets’ Corner, which has been the traditional burial ground of the most famous English poets, writers and playwrights.
Today it is still a working church dedicated to regular worship and to the celebration of great events in the life of the nation. All are welcome to attend the regular services.

试题分析：本文写了成立于1065的威斯敏斯特教堂，是国王的居住地，写了教堂开放的时间，门票信息等内容。
【1】B考查推理判断。 King George VI, got married there in 1923; twenty four years later, his daughter, Queen Elizabeth II married Prince Phillip there; on April 29, 2011, Prince William also married Kate Middleton there乔治六世国王，有1923结婚；二十四年后，他的女儿，伊丽莎白女王二世王子结婚，菲利浦那里；2011年4月29日，威廉王子还娶了凯特米德尔顿。而在十四年前，威廉的母亲，戴安娜的母亲的葬礼发生了。可知伊丽莎白女王二世王子结婚是1923+24=1947年，而2011年是戴安娜的母亲的葬礼发生在2011-14=1997.所以戴安娜的母亲的葬礼距离伊丽莎白女王二世王子结婚是1997-1947=50年，所以B正确。
【2】B考查推理判断。根据Schoolchildren(11—18years old) ￡8.00可知17岁的孩子需要花费8元，根据Adult ￡18.00可知大人要花费18元每人，Over 18 students: ￡15.00 (on production of a valid student card)19岁的孩子需要15元。所以18*2=36,36+15+8=59，所以这一家人需要花费59元。
【3】D考查细节理解。根据最后一段的相关描述可知并没有推荐 St. James’s park. ，故选D。
【5】C考查推理判断。本文主要介绍威斯敏斯特大教堂的相关情况。所以可能出现在旅游书籍上，故选C。
