答案解析
D1
1. B 根据During an experiment in Virginia in 1995, 100 eighth graders were separated just for math and science courses. Almost immediately, the girls began to achieve more, become more confident and participate more often in class.可知弗吉尼亚州的实验表明女孩在全市女生的班级里学习成绩显著提高，其它选项是其它研究的结果。
2. B 根据The study of 2954 high schools and 979 primary schools showed that while boys at the lowest ends academically improved the most in single sex schools, single sex education was particularly beneficial to girls. 可知在男校里差生的成绩提高最大。
3. B edge表示“刀刃”的意思。Soften the competitive edge指削弱其竞争的意识，同时后文提到男校让男生们更能合作。
4. C 纵观全文，主要讲述了单一性别学校的教育对于孩子成绩提高的优势作用。
D3
1. B 原文提到人造树叶发电的过程，先好放在一桶水里，然后树叶将水分解为氢气和氧气，而氢气和氧气被存储于燃料电池里，随后电池利用氢气和氧气的反应发电。
2. D 原文提到The wonderful improvements come from Nocera's recent discovery of several powerful new, inexpensive catalysts.可见，人造树叶发电能够更有效率关键在于催化剂。
3. B With the goal to "make each home its own power station" and "giving energy to the poor", scientists believe that the new application could be widely used in developing countries, especially in India and rural China. 根据最后一段这一内容，可知科学家开发人造树叶发电这一技术是为了帮助发展中国家和贫穷的地区获得便宜的能源。
4. B 纵观全文主要讲述了人造树叶模拟光合作用发电这一新发明。
D4
1. D。本文作者通过介绍Steven Callahan的逆境求生的故事，告诉我们在没有希望的情况下，学习他如何保持信念，走出困境，所以答案为D。
2. C。由文章可知Callahan在获救希望渺茫的情况下没有失去信心和希望，创造性地利用各种办法来生存，所以C项正确。由第一段可知Callahan是在帆船出事的76天后被救的，所以A选项不对；由第三段最后一句话可知他的救生衣被刺破了，一直无法修复将他折腾得筋疲力尽，故B项不对；由第一段His supplies were few可知D项不正确。
3. A。由第五段“I tell myself I can handle it”可知A项正确。
4. C。最后一段 “words that can give us strength” 指的就是后面提到的“Whatever you’re going through, tell yourself you can handle it. Compared to what others have been through, you’re fortunate…. It’s a wise thought and worth thinking.”所以身处不幸时，告诉自己一定能够挺过去，同时想想比自己更不幸的人，这种幸福感会增加你面对困难的勇气与信心，所以C项正确。根据第四段Many people in similarly desperate circumstances give in or go mad. 可知作者认为大多数人在绝望的情况下很难坚持下来，所以A项（鼓励人利用绝境来磨练、挑战自己）并不是文章的本意。
