答案解析：
D1
1. C。开头那一段作者描述了自己弹奏古筝的情景，然后在接下来的段落中介绍了CCA的具体情况，可见是为了吸引读者的阅读兴趣。
2. A。从第六段的“I am also a member of the Editorial Club and Science Leaders' Academy”可以得此答案。第五段的“But after all, it was not bad to learn a new instrument”说明，作者对于学习低音提琴并不抵触，觉得能学一个新乐器也挺好，因此B不对。由最后一段的“CCA do eat up a lot of my time and energy, but after all, life is not just about study. Coping with various activities indeed enriches my experience and makes me grow as a fuller person.”可知C项的worries不对；文中没有对比作者更愿意独奏表演还是在乐队里与大家一起合奏，所以D不对。
3. C。从全文尤其是第四段的第一句“By being in the CCA students practice self-discipline and various skills.”以及文章的最后一句“Coping with various activities indeed enriches my experience and makes me grow as a fuller person.”可知C为正确答案。第五段的“Every week, we had sessions with professional instructors fully funded by the school”告诉我们，这些乐器指导老师的费用是由学校全额支付的，所以A不对。B和D文章没有提到。
D2
1. B。由第二段的“even if they came from a low income family, their tuition fees and some of their living costs would be covered by a local authority grant”可知B正确、D不对。A文中没有提及过去的学生与现在的学生进取心的对比。
2. D。由第三段最后一句话可知贫困生还能收到学校的补助，所以A不对；由最后一段的“graduates did not have to begin repaying their student loans until they were earning more than £21,000 a year”可知B不对；由第三段可知1998年学生开始支付1000磅一年的学费；最后一段第二句话提到了2012年开始，英国大学将收取最高9000磅一年的学费，所以C选项的10 times as much as that in 1998不对。由第四段的“As time passed, tuition fees rose, and although applicants from Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales still qualified for different levels of funding, by 2009/10 students in England often found themselves facing tuition fees of more than £3,000 a year.”可知D正确。
3. A。由下文学生们的反应“Many students argued that it was unfair…”、“others complained that…”可知学生们对这一举措非常不满，所以选A。
4. C。由文章最后一句话可知C正确。由最后一段的“Many students argued that it was unfair…”、“others complained that…”可知学生们对这一举措非常不满，故A不对；B项所述只是学生们的抱怨，并非既成事实，所以不对；D项文中没有提及，故不对。
D3
1. B。由第二段的“… a new study by Dean Falk of Florida State University, US, has uncovered more clues about the physicist's brain, thanks to some newly presented photos.”可知B为正确答案。
2. C。由第六段的“Falk found that the size and shape of Einstein's brain are both normal”可知b正确；由第六段的“but the brilliant physicist had extra folding in his brain's gray matter which is responsible for conscious thinking”可知c项的less应该为more才对；由第七段第一句可知d正确，a文中没有提及，所以答案为C。
3. B。第七段提到了“He did thought experiments…, and this is exactly the part of the brain one would expect to be very active in such thought experiments”，这里的this指代的是the frontal lobes，所以可推知B正确。由第七段首句可知影响抽象思维的是大脑的脑前叶部分，而不是脑灰质沟回，故A不对；由第七段第二句话可知科学家认为爱因斯坦脑前叶部分特殊的沟回帮助了他发现相对论，所以C不对；由最后一段的第一句话可知科学家对于爱因斯坦大脑是先天发展成为这样的还是后天培养的并没有定论，所以D不对。
D4
1. C。从第二段的“This is to help make the little church bigger so more children can go to Sunday School”可知，小女孩希望把那些钱用于扩建教堂，这样更多小朋友就能上主日学校了。
2. B。从第三、四段可知，人们知道小女孩的故事以后，纷纷捐钱捐地，想要帮她实现遗愿，所以B正确。A文中没有提到；捐地的那个人收了了57分钱，所以C有误；第四段的“Within five years…”说明D不对。
3. D。从上文来看，小女孩的57分钱在人们的帮助下滚雪球一样变成了25万，可见这个词组的意思应该是“产生了大的效益”。
4. D。文章的主要内容是小女孩为了帮助跟她一样贫困的小朋友，善良地捐献了自己的所有，在她的感召下人们真的实现了她的愿望。
