【解析】

试题分析：本文是一则向人们介绍4个不同主题的生日聚会的广告。

1. be as careful as possible尽可能小心；B. be as long as an arm一臂之长（长度）；C. be as near as possible尽可能接近；D. be as faraway as possible尽可能远的。文中此处讲的是的是（离游泳池的）距离，所以排除A和B.又因为该内容是针对“”根据文章“ All non-swimmers or children requiring floatation”，故正确答案为D.

2. Fitness Birthday Parties部分中fee（费用）说明中“Fee: $295 for up to 10 children, $10 each additional child—16 children maximum. ”（10个小孩295美元，在每增加一个孩子加10美元-到16个为止。），所以12个孩子295+10×2=315美元，故正确答案为B.

3. the Art Spot Birthday Parties部分中“the first hour the group create their art project,”第一个小时团队创作他们的艺术作品，故选C.

4.推断题.A项“你可以安排你方便的时间”，由文中Nursery School Birthday Parties幼儿园生日聚会在星期六中午12点到下午4点钟举行可知A错误；B项“这些聚会的人数是有限的”，通读全文可知，广告中的任何一个聚会都没提到聚会的人数有限定，故B是错误的；C项“参加生日聚会时你不需要带东西”，根据文中The Art Spot Birthday Parties可知在该生日聚会中你需要带蛋糕，故C是错误的；D项“所有的这些生日聚会都有一个中心主题”，文中4 个聚会有4个主题，可知D是正确。故正确答案为D.
