D1 1-4 DCBC
1. D。根据第一段yet I was unsure about it when … – what if I tried diving and hated it? 可知作者在出发前并不确定自己会不会喜欢潜水，因此选D。根据But the doubt was gone after we got back from our one-week trip可排除A选项，B、C选项文中没有体现。
2. C。根据第三段The rest of the days would be spent practicing what we’d learned in the video with our instructor (教练), first in the pool and then in the sea.可知他们先是在泳池里练习，然后才下海，选C。A选项与文中意思刚好相反。B选项错在穿的应该是tight (紧身的) diving suits。D选项错在文中没有说他们紧张，而是尽情享受了海底的风光。
3. B。根据第五段we were able to get away以及所引用的话中的All the stress, noise, and distractions (烦心事) of life are left at the surface.可知作者想表达的是潜水让人感到很放松，因此选B。
4. C。本题考查文章的主旨。作者主要分析了自己第一次潜水的经历，包括学习潜水的过程，以及潜水中自己的收获和体会：放松了自己、欣赏了美景并更加了解了自己。因此选C。
D2 1-4 BCCD
1. B。根据第五段It’s believed that the huge pressure and high temperatures of the planets lead to diamonds being created from the ocean’s hydrocarbons.可知B选项正确。A选项根据所做的实验说明两个星球上钻石形成的时间很短。C选项错应该是ocean，而不是skies。D选项没有提到。
2. C。根据第八段They used two kinds of lasers, creating a similar temperature and pressure to those found around 10,000 kilometers below the planets.可知C选项正确。A选项错在big。B选项错在不是用carbon-containing minerals，而是polystyrene。D选项没有提到。
3. C。根据倒数第四段According to Kraus, they could even be the cause of the planets’ high temperatures. “These diamonds will sink down… and when they sink down, there will be friction (注) with the surrounding area… and all this generates (注) heat可知C选项正确。
4. D。本题考查文章主旨。文章先说了关于天王星和海王星上有钻石，可能是如何形成的一个假设，接着用一个最近的实验证实了这个理论，也就是复制了这两个星球上钻石形成的方式，因此D选项为文章主旨。
D3 1-3 CBD
1. C。根据第二段The first thing I wish to get in Senior One is the ability to manage my time better.可知C选项正确。
2. B。根据第四段And finally, I hope that I won’t be discouraged by my failures and never give up on my dreams.可知B选项正确。
3. D。在本文中，作者主要讨论了自己在高中生活中的三个目标，分别是：更好地安排时间，注重健康，追逐梦想永不言弃。因此D选项正确。
D4 1-4 BCCD
1. B。根据文章前两段，作者的父亲虽然不知道自己想要什么样的生活，但是一直在旅行冒险，还带着自己的妻子和女儿一起旅行，由此可知答案为B，乐于冒险。A项文章未提及；C、D两项与原文意思不符。
2. C。根据文章第三至五段，作者一家在旅行途中经常因为车坏在修理厂花时间，因此可知C为正确答案。A项作者只是说在修理厂修车比在40度的高温下等待发动机自动冷却要好得多，并没有说明炎热的天气给旅行带来麻烦；B项作者的母亲表达自己确实交到了很多朋友，但是大部分都是机修工，这句话并不是骄傲的语气，而是自嘲中带有一点反讽，因此B项错误；D项作者姐妹三人经常为谁坐在后排中间而争吵，而非为谁坐前排争吵，因此D项错误。
3. C。根据文章第六段，作者一家在菲律宾旅行时忘记将行李箱带走，导致又返回了一次出发地，浪费了大量时间，因此C为正确答案。A项与原文意思相反；B项作者的父母只是互相问答，并没有严重争吵；D项由“was mostly spent in silence”可知，这件事对整个旅程还是有影响的，大家在这段路途中并不开心，因此D错误。
4. D。根据文章最后两段，公路旅行可以让我们遇见许多不同的人，并且在这个过程中学着更好地与人交往，因此D为正确答案，其他三项在文中未提及。
