D1
1. D。根据第三段可知，Charlie踢球很差进不了足球队，没有人给他写信，他还一直单恋一个红发女孩。所以D最为符合。

D3
1. D 细节理解题。根据文章第三段第二句A team at the University of Chicago, US has found that elephants carry a large number of genes that stop tumors from developing.可以得知答案，故选D。
2. A 细节理解题。根据文章第五段第一句An increased risk of developing cancer has stood in the way of the evolution of large body sizes in many animals.可以得出大型的动物在进化过程中，发癌症的几率比较大，而癌症就是我们所说的恶性肿瘤，故选A。
3. B 细节理解题。根据文章第五段最后一句话But across species, the risk of cancer does not show a connection with body mass. 可以得出正确答案是B。
4. D推理判断题。根据第七段的第一句话The study also found that when the same genes were brought to life in mice, they had the same cancer resistance as elephants.可以看出这种基因在老鼠身上已经进行了成功的防癌实验，其中the same genes 就是指上文的the TP53 genes，因此正确答案是D。A选项中的near future文中没有提到，所以排除； B选项，文中只提到自然已经想到了如何去防癌，并没有提到光靠自然是不够的，所以B选项也是错的；C选项在文中也没有提及，所以也排除。
D4
1. A 推理判断题。从第五段的第四句The zeroes on our papers would be recorded in his grade book中也可以看出全班同学都得的是零分，故答案是A；由全文可知cattywampus这个生物是老师捏造的，是不存在的，所以B选项是错误的；从第五段的第二句中的no trace of the animal remained可知，那个头盖骨不是真的，故排除C；第二段第四句话I had written down exactly what Mr. Whitson said.可知作者准确地写出了老师所教过的东西，故排除D。
2. D．细节理解题。由第五段的… hadn't he been telling us that no trace of the animal remained? He had described its amazing night vision and any number of other facts he couldn’t have known.可知，既然这种动物无迹可寻，那么老师描述的那些特点就不可能是真的，所以这证明了他编造了cattywampus这个生物，故正确答案是D。
3. C 细节理解题。由第六段第二、三两句Teachers and textbooks are not to be trusted blindly. In fact, no one is.可知我们不能盲目地听信别人，故答案选C。
4. B 细节理解题。由第七段第一句话中的Mr. Whitson’s class gave me and my classmates something just as important: the courage to look people in the eye and tell them they are wrong.可知惠特森先生的课教会作者要敢于指出别人的错误，故正确答案是B。
