D1

1. B。由第三段“While the idea of joining something known to be harder than everything else stops some, it was exactly what I was looking for.”可知B为正确答案。

2. D。由第五段可知刚开始那些老队员认为作者可能只是玩玩而已，所以并不把她当一回事，，当作者跟C.J. Estores表明自己是认真的后，队员们就改变了对她的态度，所以D为正确答案。

3. C。由文章首尾两段可以推知C为正确答案。由文中“Henebry is close with most of his athletes. For me, he’s become like a second father”可知A项不对；B项文中没有提及；由倒数第三段可知作者的教练认为摔跤运动员的心理状态可能会因为性别而有差异，但是他觉得女性摔跤运动员并不能让这点差异影响自己去接受挑战，所以可以推知D不对。

D3

1. B。由第二至四段可知本文主要介绍的是the sleep homeostat对于促进人们睡眠的影响，所以答案为B。

2. B。第四段里作者用the thermostat做类比来说明the sleep homeostat的功能，所以答案为B。

3. C。由第三、四段可知C为正确答案。文章里没有比较the sleep homeostat在白天和晚上运行的差别，所以A不对；由倒数第二段可知Ｂ不对；倒数第三段提到了“The researchers found that the sleep homeostat works by activating a specific group of nerve cells, or neurons, in the brain.”但这并不意味着动态平衡脑细胞越多，人们就更容易入睡，所以D不对。

4. B。句意为：弄清楚了睡眠动态平衡系统如何工作也许能帮助我们将来某天＿＿＿最古老的谜团之一。根据上下文可知这里表示unravel表示“揭开，弄明白”，故选B。

D4

1. B。由文中可知2012年作者的父亲与姐姐先后得癌症去世，作者也因为过度伤心而住院，所以B为正确答案。

2. C。由文中“I realized that night that I had a choice. I could end my life or I could live it. I looked in my sister’s eyes and decided not to go with her just yet. I decided to stay and complete my journey here. I also decided that I would live the life that I absolutely love and nothing less.”可以推知失去父亲和姐姐后，作者意识到要好好度过每一天，故C为正确答案。A项的admired her for her determination不对，因为作者欣赏的是她父亲的坚毅；作者不是因为她男友的鼓励才重建信心的，故B不对；作者已经能够坦然面对父亲和姐姐的离去了，所以D不对。

3. B。由首尾两段以及作者走出失去父亲和姐姐的痛苦的过程可知，作者写这个故事主要是要告知读者我们的生活取决于我们的选择，故B为正确答案。

D5

1. D。由图片中白框里的文字“Our rafting trips are suitable for all ages. Seniors and young families are more than welcome to join this easy sightseeing trip.”可知D为正确答案。这段文字里看不出来旅程是刺激冒险的，故A不对。由该部分的“Our rafts are customized with elevated floorboards, so your shoes even stay dry! Our guests often bring cameras to catch the scenery as they float by.”可知B、C不对。

2. A。由Bow River Safari (2½ hours) (June - late August)部分的“We launch at the base of Bow River Falls and float for 2½ hours, travelling 17 km to the eastern boundary of Banff National Park.”可知对应的票价应该是$85*2+$40*2=$250，故选A。
3. C。由表格下方的“(Be advised that the 9:20 a.m. and 5:20 p.m. tours are seasonal, so please phone to confirm)”可知C为正确答案。
