Question

【题目】Larry was on another of his underwater expeditions(探险)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】

试题分析：本文叙述了著名的潜水专家Larry回忆自己第一次潜水的事情，并叙述了他带着自己10岁的女儿继承家族传统开始了潜水之旅。

【1】D 考查细节题。根据文章第一段第2句He decided to take his daughter along with him. She was only ten years old.可知这次探险的特别之处在于，他要带着10岁的女儿一起进行深海探险。故D正确。

【2】A 推理题。本题可以利用排除法。根据第二段4、5句Larry started out by renting diving suits from the small diving shop just along the shore. He had hated them.可知他不喜欢外租的潜水衣，所以B项错误。根据第4句Larry started out by renting diving suits from the small diving shop可知他只要租潜水衣就可以了，不需要购买。故C错误。根据本段最后一句Children his age were not even allowed to dive.可知10岁的孩子是不被允许去潜水的。故D错误。同时其他10岁的孩子不能潜水，但是他却可以，正说明他有特权。故A正确。

【3】A 推理题。根据第三段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.可知水下有很多危险的事物，为了保护他，他会被放在笼子里。但是这并没有阻止他拍摄很多美丽的照片。故A正确。

【4】A 推理题。根据最后一段第3句He hoped she would be able to continue the family tradition.可知他希望自己的女儿能够延续家族的传统，也就是成为成功的潜水者。故A正确。
