【解析】这篇短文是King大学暑期学校的招生广告，短文中介绍了这个学校的基本情况、报名要求、费用、课程等相关信息。

1.推理判断题。根据短文的开头King’s College Summer School is an annual( 每年的 ) training program for high school students at all levels who want to improve their English可知，这是一个学习英语的学校的招生广告，故我们可以在报纸上看到这样的文章。应选A。

2.推理判断题。根据短文的开头中Trips to museums and culture centers are also organized可知，去博物馆和文化中心参观旅行是这个课程的一部分，故B选项是正确的。根据短文第一句话…for high school students at all levels who want to improve their English可知A不对；根据King’s College Summer School is an annual( 每年的 ) training program for high school students…可知C不对；根据Courses are given by the teachers of King’s College and other colleges in New York可知D不对。

3.细节理解题。根据短文中Cost这一栏中我们可以知道，去这个学校上学，需要缴纳课程费用200美元、体育活动费用100美元和旅行费用200美元。因为题干中说是住在亲戚家，所以没有旅馆的费用，故一共是500美元。选B。

4.细节理解题。根据短文中The letters should be written in English with all the necessary information可知，想要参加这个学校可以给Thomas写信，但是应该用英语来写，故D选项是正确的。根据短文第一段中This year’s summer school will be from July 25 to August 15可知A不对；根据Foreign students should send their applications before July 10, 2017可知B不对；短文中并没有给出这个学校的联系电话，故D不对。

点睛：这篇短文是一个招生广告，第一段概括介绍了这个学校的一些情况，下面分成了五个方面，具体介绍了更多的信息。后面的题目以细节理解题为主，我们需要先看清题目所问的问题，并正确理解选项，从原文中找做题的依据，用排除法来做题。例如第2小题，虽然是判断题，但都是基于原文的细节作出的，答案都集中在第一段中，这个学校是每年都招生，面向不同英语水平的学生，上课的老师既包括了这个学校里的老师，还有纽约市其他大学里的老师，了解了这些细节的内容，我们就可以排除A、C和D三个选项，正确答案是B。
