解析
D1
1. A。根据第一段的“you probably don’t associate the writer of those lyrics with big literary names”可知，Bob Dylan的获奖让人感到意外，所以taken aback在这里的意思为“震惊的”，故答案为A。
2. B。由下文引用的Billy Collins的话，尤其是“I think his does qualify as poetry.”可知，他认为Dylan的歌词像诗歌，而下文又提到了他的歌词的深远影响，所以B为正确答案。C的干扰性比较强，但是这不是作者认为Bob Dylan获得文学诺贝尔奖当之无愧的主要原因。
3. A。由倒数第四段的“Dylan’s music expressed what he wanted to express, but people caught onto it as an expression of what they were feeling, what they were thinking”可知A为正确答案。
4. A。由文章最后一段的反问句“If these don’t qualify as excellent poems, what does?”可以看出作者认为Dylan获奖乃实至名归，故选A。
D2
1. A。本文主要介绍了新西兰的一种传统的战争舞蹈，现在用于橄榄球赛中威力也不可小觑，故选A。
2. C。根据本句句意，军人在战争前展示他们的力量，是为了____他们的敌人，结合第一段的“But, in fact, they win many of their games before the first whistle (哨子) even blows.”比赛还没有开始，他们可能就赢了，只可能是因为他们的舞蹈让敌人恐惧了，所以答案为C。intimidate 表示“恐吓”。
3. D。根据文中的“Warriors originally performed the war dance before battles to show off their strength in order to intimidate the enemy. Rugby is a violent game that many fans have compared to war. What better way is there to get excited before the game than doing a war dance?”可得知，运动员跳这种舞蹈的主要作用是为了热身，同时营造一种优势气氛以恐吓对手，故答案为D。
3. C。由倒数第二段和倒数第三段“And New Zealand’s haka is one of the world’s most perfect acts of nationalism. …”可得知C为正确答案。
D3
1. A。本文主要讲的是memes的流行，并分析了其中的原因，所以文章开篇提到Leonardo DiCaprio，就是为了引出这一话题，故答案为A。
2. D。由最后一段的“They sum up popular culture, politics, sports, fashion and art. …They give us information in an easy, humorous way”可推知D为正确答案。由文中所引用的2016年美国总统选举的例子可推知A不对；由倒数第二段的“Perhaps it is not the humor of the meme itself that gets people to post and share, but the identity tied to the humor in that only people ‘in the know’ will get its meaning, at the same time alienating some audiences”可推知B不对；文中提到了“Memes can be a funny reference to real people or events with serious ideas behind them.”但C项中的概括不全，而且often的使用也不符合实际情况，所以不对。
3. D。由前文的“only people ‘in the know’ will get its meaning”可推知只有圈内人能理解其意思，而其他人就会感到被排斥在外了，所以答案为D。
4. B。文章的中心句为第四段“What has made memes so popular?”，下文都是围绕这句话展开，解释这背后的原因，所以B为正确答案。
D4
1. B。由倒数第二段的“It might not be time to plan a visit to Proxima b just yet – even if it has an atmosphere”可知B为正确答案。由第二段的“Also, since it is so much closer to its red dwarf (矮小的) star than we are to the sun, the sky on its world is orange without any blue at all, creating a forever sunset effect.”A和C项不对，A项的at sunset不对，应该是a forever sunset effect；文中指的是比邻星b离红矮星的距离远小于我们和太阳的距离，所以C项不对。由第一段的“the discovery of a planet “more or less” like Earth that is orbiting Proxima Centauri, the star nearest to our solar (太阳的) system”可知D项的in the solar system不对。
2. D。由文中的“If aliens on Proxima b had played the record, they would have found sounds and images that showed the incredible diversity (多样性) of Earth.”以及文中引用的美国前总统Jimmy Carter的话：“We hope someday, having solved the problems we face, to join a community of galactic (星际) civilizations. This record represents our hope and our determination, and our good will in an … awesome (绝妙的) universe.”可推知D为正确答案。
3. C。由最后一段的“Proxima b looks to us like a promising Plan(et) B, just in case things go really south on this blue planet”可推知C为正确答案。
4. A。本文主要是报道了比邻星b的发现以及它的发现的影响，所以答案为A。
