Question

【題目】Larry was on another of his underwater expeditions(探險)but this time, it was different. He decided to take his daughter along with him. She was only ten years old. This would be her first trip with her father on what he had always been famous for.

Larry first began diving when he was his daughter’s age. Similarly, his father had taken him along on one of his expeditions. Since then, he had never looked back. Larry started out by renting diving suits from the small diving shop just along the shore. He had hated them. They were either too big or too small. Then, there was the instructor. He gave him a short lesson before allowing him into the water with his father. He had made an exception. Larry would never have been able to go down without at least five hours of theory and another similar number of hours on practical lessons with a guide. Children his age were not even allowed to dive.

After the first expedition, Larry’s later diving adventures only got better and better. There was never a dull moment. In his black and blue suit and with an oxygen tank fastened on his back, Larry dived from boats into the middle of the ocean. Dangerous areas did not prevent him from continuing his search. Sometimes, he was limited to a cage underwater but that did not bother him. At least, he was still able to take photographs of the underwater creatures

Larry’s first expedition without his father was in the Cayman Islands. There were numerous diving spots in the area and Larry was determined to visit all of them. Fortunately for him, a man offered to take him around the different spots for free. Larry did not even know what the time was, how many spots he dived into or how many photographs he had taken. The diving spots afforded such a wide array of fish and sea creatures that Larry saw more than thirty varieties of creatures.

Larry looked at his daughter. She looked as excited as he had been when he was her age. He hoped she would be able to continue the family tradition. Already, she looked like she was much braver than Larry had been then. This was the key to a successful underwater expedition.

【解析】

試題分析：本文敘述了著名的潛水專家Larry回憶自己第一次潛水的事情，并敘述了他帶著自己10歲的女兒繼承家族傳統(tǒng)開始了潛水之旅。

【1】D 考查細節(jié)題。根據(jù)文章第一段第2句He decided to take his daughter along with him. She was only ten years old.可知這次探險的特別之處在于，他要帶著10歲的女兒一起進行深海探險。故D正確。

【2】A 推理題。本題可以利用排除法。根據(jù)第二段4、5句Larry started out by renting diving suits from the small diving shop just along the shore. He had hated them.可知他不喜歡外租的潛水衣，所以B項錯誤。根據(jù)第4句Larry started out by renting diving suits from the small diving shop可知他只要租潛水衣就可以了，不需要購買。故C錯誤。根據(jù)本段最后一句Children his age were not even allowed to dive.可知10歲的孩子是不被允許去潛水的。故D錯誤。同時其他10歲的孩子不能潛水，但是他卻可以，正說明他有特權(quán)。故A正確。

【3】A 推理題。根據(jù)第三段4、5句Dangerous areas did not prevent him from continuing his search. Sometimes, he was limited to a cage underwater but that did not bother him.可知水下有很多危險的事物，為了保護他，他會被放在籠子里。但是這并沒有阻止他拍攝很多美麗的照片。故A正確。

【4】A 推理題。根據(jù)最后一段第3句He hoped she would be able to continue the family tradition.可知他希望自己的女兒能夠延續(xù)家族的傳統(tǒng)，也就是成為成功的潛水者。故A正確。
