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 didn’t 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 had been then.This was the key to a successful underwater expedition.
　　1、Why did Larry have to stay in a cage underwater sometimes?
　　A.To protect himself from danger.
　　B.To dive into the deep water.
　　C.To admire the underwater view.
　　D.To take photo more conveniently.
　　参考答案：A
　　参考解析：推理判断题第三段告诉我们，Larry潜入深水中，一些危险区域也阻扰不了他的深水搜寻(Dangerous areas did not prevent him from continuing his search.)。而根据常识，在深水中人呆在铁笼中以防危险的突发(如海底动物的袭击)。故选A。
　　2、In what way was this expedition different for Larry?
　　A.His daughter had grown up.
　　B.He had become a famous diver.
　　C.His father would dive with him.
　　D.His daughter would dive with him.
　　参考答案：D
　　参考解析：细节理解题第一段第1，2句(but this time,it was different.He decided to take his daughter along with him.)告诉我们，Larry再一次进行水下探险，但这一次不同，他决定带他女儿一起去。所以D选项正确。B选项干扰性较大。该段最后一句是说：这是Larry成名后女儿第一次跟父亲去的水下探险。Larry的成名并不是此次探险的不同。
　　3、What can be inferred from Paragraph2?
　　A.Larry had some privileges.
　　B.Larry liked the rented diving suits.
　　C.Divers had to buy diving equipment.
　　D.Ten-year-old children were permitted to dive.
　　参考答案：A
　　参考解析：推理判断题从该段可知，本来像他这样年龄的小孩是不被允许水下探险的(Children his age were not even allowed to dive.，然而他是个例外(He had made an exception)，并且下水之前，他必须接受至少5小时的理论教育以及5小时以上的和老师一起下水的实践辅导。(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.)，由此推测，A选项正确。
　　4、What did Larry expect his daughter to do?
　　A.Become a successful diver.
　　B.Make a good diving guide.
　　C.Take a lot of photo underwater.
　　D.Have longer hours of training.
　　参考答案：A
　　参考解析：细节理解题从最后一段得知，Larry看着他女儿，希望她能继承他家的传统(He hoped she would be able to continue the family tradition.);瞧着她的勇敢劲儿，肯定能变为一个成功的水下探险者(This was the key to a successful underwater expedition.)。故A选项正确。
　　5、What can be learned from the underlined sentence?
　　A.Larry didn’t wear a watch.
　　B.Larry was not good at math.
　　C.Larry had a poor memory.
　　D.Larry enjoyed the adventure.
　　参考答案：D
　　参考解析：句意理解与推测题第四段告诉我们，有个人免费带他在水中在不同的区域探险，这样他得以亲眼目睹到30多种以上类型的海洋生物(The diving spots afforded such a wide array of fish and sea creatures that Larry saw more than thirty varieties of creatures.)，可以想象多么地其乐融融!以致忘记了时间，忘记了去了多少个地方，忘记了拍了多少张相片。所以D选项正确。
　　参考译文：
　　拉里参加了另一次水下探险，但这次不同了。他决定带女儿一起去。她只有十岁。这将是她第一次和父亲一起旅行，因为他一直以什么而出名。
　　拉里在女儿大的时候就开始潜水了。同样地，他的父亲也带他去了一次探险。从那以后，他再也没有回头过。拉里一开始就在海边的一家小潜水店租潜水服。他恨他们。它们不是太大就是太小。然后，老师来了。他给了他一个简短的教训，然后让他和他父亲一起下水。他破例了。如果拉里没有至少五个小时的理论课和一个有指导的类似的实践课，他就永远也不可能下去。他这个年龄的孩子连潜水都不允许。
　　在第一次探险之后，拉里后来的潜水探险只会越来越好。从来没有一个沉闷的时刻。拉里穿着黑色和蓝色的西装，背上系着一个氧气罐，从船上跳入了大海。危险区域并没有阻止他继续搜索。有时，他被限制在水下的笼子里，但这并不困扰他。至少，他仍然能够拍摄水下生物的照片。
　　拉里第一次没有父亲的探险是在开曼群岛。该地区有许多潜水点，拉里决心去参观所有的潜水点。幸运的是，一个男人主动提出免费带他去不同的地方。拉里甚至不知道是什么时候，他潜入了多少个地点，拍了多少张照片。潜水点提供了如此广泛的鱼类和海洋生物，拉里看到了30多种多样的生物。
　　拉里看着他的女儿。她看上去和他同龄时一样兴奋。他希望她能延续家族传统。她看起来已经比当时勇敢多了。这是成功进行水下探险的关键。
