Answer 1

【文章大意】本文介紹了四個舉辦不同主題的生日聚會的廣告。

D 詞義推測題。be as careful as possible盡可能小心；be as long as an arm 一臂之長；be as near as possible盡可會g接近； be as faraway as possible盡可會g遠(yuǎn)的。文中強(qiáng)調(diào)的是不會游泳的人要離泳池遠(yuǎn)一些，故選D項。

B 推理判斷題。根據(jù)Youth Fitness Birthday Parties部分中的"Fee: $ 295 for up to 10 children, $ 10 each additional child—16 children maximum."可知，12個孩子共要295 + 10 X2 = 315美元，故選B項。

C 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章The Art Spot Birthday Parties部分中"…the first hour the group create their art projects...，，可知，第一個小時團(tuán)隊創(chuàng)作他們的藝術(shù)作品，故選C項。

D 細(xì)節(jié)推理題。根據(jù)文中Nursery School Birthday Parties 部分的內(nèi)容可知，幼兒園生日聚會在星期六中午12點到下午4點鐘舉行，故A項錯誤；通讀全文可知，廣告中的任何一個聚會都沒有提到聚會的人數(shù)有限制，故B項錯誤；根據(jù)文中The Art Spot Birthday Parties部分的內(nèi)容可知，在該生日聚會中你需要帶蛋糕，故C項錯誤；D項"所有的這些生日聚會都有一個中心主題"，文中四個聚會有四個主題，可知D 項正確。
