173．细节理解题。根据Dates and Hours of Operation部分关键句“The Hall of Fame is open Wednesday through Sunday from late November through March 31 and daily the rest of the year. Hours are from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. (Friday through Sunday: 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.).”可知，名人堂从十一月下旬到第二年的3月31日之间，是星期三到星期日开放，其余的日子里每天都开放。开放时间为上午十点到下午四点，周五到周日是上午十点到下午五点。由此可知，A. At 11:00 a.m., Monday, Nov. 30th.时间不可以，因为11月下旬的星期一不开放。C. At 4:30 p.m., Tuesday, Apr.1st.时间不可以，星期二只开放到下午四点。D. At 5:30 p.m., Sunday, Dec. 20th.时间不可以，星期日只开放到下午五点。At 3:00 p.m., Friday, Mar. 12th. 时间可以，符合名人堂开放的时间，故游客可以在这个时间去参观。故选B项。
