The Miami Planetarium opened its doors to the public on November 4,1966 and has entertained and educated children of all ages about astronomy and the wonders of the night sky ever since. The Planetarium houses a 65-foot diameter domed(圓顶;！夫的) projection screen with 231 seats. At the heart of the Planetarium is a SPITZ "Space Transit Planetarium" star projector(放映机) ，which is capable of accurately reproducing the stars and planets as seen from anywhere on Earth at any time during the year,shows daily except Thanksgiving and Christmas Day. Unlike any other in South Florida,the Planetarium is a unique setting for bringing the stars and planets indoors in animated live star shows and music-filled laser light shows.

The Weintraub Observatory(天文台) houses two powerful telescopes. Observatory hours are from 8：00 p.m. to 10： 00 p.m. Look through the telescope to view the planets, the four moons of Jupiter,the rings of Saturn and deep sky objects such as galaxies, nebulate and double stars.

8.C细节理解题„才艮据"Shows daily except Thanksgiving and Christmas Day."和"The Weintraub Observatory houses two powerilil telescopes. Observatory hours are from 8:00 p.m. to10:00 p.m. Look through the telescope to view the planets"等信息可知，A项时间不正确，应为from8:00p. m. to 10:00 p. m.; D项也不正确，因为圣诞节不放映；B项在文中没有对应信息，故选C。

9. A数字计算题。根据"School Groups: $10.00 per person. One free teacher admission per 10 students."可知，学校团体票为每人10美元，每去10个学生可以免一个老师的门票，故他们总共需要买23 个人的门票，总计230美元。

10. D逻辑推理题。根据"The Weintraub Observatory houses two powerful telescopes. Observatory hours are from 8:00 p. m. to 10:00 p. m."可以推断出观测台只在晚上开放，白天是不对游客开放的。

11. B细节理解题。根据"A $75 deposit must be re?ceived 10 days prior to the visit date to guarantee your visit."可知，为了保证参观能按时进行，事先要求预付订金。

12. A细节理解题。根据"We reserve the right to re?fuse service to any group or individual not obeying the museum policies."可知，如果参观者不遵守规则，天文馆有可能拒绝提供服务。
