答案详解：
D1 1-3 DBC
1. D。根据Both towers will have balconies running down one side, filled with plants and trees. 以及Meanwhile, on the top of each tower, a botanical garden will offer a relaxing space to enjoy nature可知，Green Spine的屋顶和一侧都种满了绿植，故D正确。根据becoming the tallest in the Southern Hemisphere可知，A错误，因为Green Spine只是南半球最高的建筑。文章开头写到Melbourne plans to build a pair of massive towers, which look more like tree houses than sky-scrapers，因此Green Spine并不是摩天大楼，更像是树屋。B选项文章未提及。
2. B。根据The move toward making cities greener places isn’t a new concept . 可知，打造绿色的城市已经不是新的理念了，于是便举了New York’s Central Park和Fogong Temple Pagoda的例子进行证明，故答案为B。
3. C。本题答案定位至最后一段，根据Our future may not be as we pictured it; it will be a lot greener.可知，作者认为未来的城市会更绿色，故答案为C。A选项文章未提及。D选项过于绝对，也不是作者的意思。B选项恰好与作者想表达的意思相反，因为人们正在追求更自然和简单的生活。
D2 1-3 BDB
1. B。根据第二段的petrichor (潮土油), which is derived (来源) from a pair of chemical reactions.以及第五段的it’s the second reaction that creates the most petrichor.可知土油是化学反应的产物。A选项的是分解成潮土油之前的物质soil-dwelling bacteria。C选项张冠李戴，不是organic matter腐化，而是bacteria。根据some plants secrete (分泌) oils during dry periods可知，D错误。
2. D。根据the process also produces geosmin, a compound with a distinct earthy aroma 可知，土臭味素是一种带香气的化合物，故D正确。 A、B、C都是生成土臭味素前的物质，故不选。
3. B。根据If it rains heavily enough, geosmin will be spread downwind (顺风地), warning others of coming rain. 可知雨大的时候，土臭味素会顺风飘散，以预警即将到来的雨水，故B正确。
D3 1-3 CBC
1. C。由第五段的“My coach would yell at me whenever I did something wrong or I was hesitant (犹豫的) to perform a task. During the day I was so nervous about this woman, that even at school, I was constantly planning what to say and do at swim practice.”可知作者的游泳教练对学员很严厉，在学员做得不够好的时候会对他们嚷嚷，所以C正确。A项文中没有提及，B项“is known for her freestyle swimming”文中没有提及。由第四段的“But if I thought that was bad, then I had another thing coming.”可知作者对她游泳老师的第一印象并不好，所以D不对。
2. B。由下文的“I could barely get myself out of the pool after the two-hour class”可知两个小时的课程作者通常筋疲力尽，所以B为最佳选项。
3. C。从文中最后两段可以看出正是由于游泳队里一位新朋友的陪伴，作者才艰难地挺过了这段时光，所以答案为C。
D4 1-3 CCB
1. C。根据文章第三段“they make me wonder why success comes easily to some, while others never seem to get their big break”可知，作者认为天才的成功来得非常容易，而其他人并没有这样的运气，因此不愿意读这类文章，因此答案为C。A、B两项作者未提及；D项作者只是表达了envy，没有表达depressed。
2. C。文章是在第六段讲述了Mary Delany的故事，根据文章第五段作者的转折可以看出，作者认为成功并不与年龄相关，人们在任何年龄都可以取得成功，因此答案为C。A、B两项与作者的意思无关；D项并非作者想要通过故事表达的思想。
3. B。根据文章第五段“I can’t help but draw more inspiration from those who met their victories with gray hair and a wrinkled face”和最后一段“The recognition for success, when mixed with failures, tastes that much sweeter.”可知，作者认为经历过磨难的成功更甜，更让人们奋进，因此答案为B。A项过于绝对；其他两项文章未提及。
