解析
D1
1. A。文章首段就提出了问题Common questions are: “What does it mean? What should I do?”，随后解释了deferral的含义和应对策略。B、C两项提到的提前申请并不是文章的重点，而D项则过于宽泛，successful的表述也不贴切。
2. C。take something in one’s stride表示“以平常心面对”的意思。注意后文提到The deferral shows her the importance of having an open mind to allow for a variety of opportunities. 可见接到deferral通知让Emily Castellano学会了用平常心面对申请中的各种机遇和遗憾，这和前文的We had an idea of the possibility of being deferred from what happened last year和Emily was somewhat disappointed but这两部分内容也形成了对比。
3. B。根据Being deferred means that colleges want to compare your application with those applicants who apply during regular decision可知B项为正确答案。
4. C。根据she is now writing an additional essay about why Boston College is the perfect fit for her可知C正确。根据The active girl emailed the admissions representative, telling him of her continued interest可知A项错误，根据She even plans to visit the college once more in the spring可知B项错误，而根据最后一段my application will re-enter their regular admission pool to be viewed with a new set of eyes可知D项错误。
1. C。根据Many Americans fear that Trump wants to manipulate (操纵) opinion through so-called “alternative facts (另类事实)” like the Party in Orwell’s dark novel可知小说《1984》的流行缘起于美国民众对于特朗普当选总统后美国政治形势的担忧。
2. C。根据The reason some are comparing Trump’s presidency with Orwell’s novel is that in it, the government spies on the public and tries to control what they think可知民众担心特朗普和媒体的矛盾体现了总统控制舆论的野心，而这让很多民众不禁联想起小说《1984》里的情景。
3. C。根据But he runs into big problems when he starts a love affair. Winston and his lover try to make their love a private (隐私的) thing - but in this state there is no privacy可知在小说《1984》里政府监控民众的一切活动，人们没有任何隐私。因此C项是正确的。A、B两项所描述的生活贫困，禁止恋爱的情景在文中并没有提到。D项表述与文意不符，小说中提到违背政府意志的人会被逮捕审讯，而不是定期审讯所有人。
1. B。根据And three of them are in the so-called “habitable zone” – the area around a star where liquid water is most likely to be found可知B项正确，C项错误。根据39 light years away from Earth可知此次发现的地外行星举例地球是39光年，而以现有的技术40年是不可能到达的。根据Trappist-1 is a “dwarf star”, which is colder and dimmer than our sun可以推测D项也是错误的。
2. C。根据It works by watching out for when a planet passes in front of its host star. This blocks out a small amount of light, allowing us to see the planet and learn about its size可知C项是正确的。
3. B。dim的意思是“暗淡的”。后文提到If a person were on one of the seven planets, everything would look a lot darker than usual. The amount of light heading to your eye would be about 200 times less than you get from the sun，可见矮星Trappist-1与太阳相比亮度要差很多，因此暗淡的意思最符合文意。
4. B。根据The researchers hope that they can do more work to watch the newly found planets and learn more about their characters可知科学家对于新发现的这些地外行星的特性尚不了解。根据Even though more research is needed before determining whether these planets could really support life, the discovery is still encouraging可知A项语气过于肯定。根据Because of that, Trappist-1, together with many other dwarf stars, were never on the list of places where scientists look for alien life可知C项错误。而根据前文关于habitable zone的定义和This is important because water is a necessary ingredient for life的表述可知行星的大小尺寸并不是搜索地外文明时考虑的最主要参数。
1. A。本题为细节理解题，可定位至文章前三段。前三段中作者提到，自己在乡村体验生活，每天帮忙干活，由此判断A为正确答案。B项，由后文可知作者很怀念这段时间，因此B项错误；C项在文中未体现；D项作者也与农夫的孩子一起玩耍，并非整周都在帮助父母干活，D项错误。答案为A。
2. D。本题为信息理解题。由第四段第一句可知作者对那段经历记忆犹新，排除A项；B项过于绝对，作者只是很怀念，并没有一直想和妻子孩子再去；C项作者在文中提到自己每年都会抽空与家人旅行，因此排除C项；由第五段可知，作者的考虑和安排旅行时会想到自己之前的经历，因此D项正确。
3. B。本题为信息总结题。通读文章可知，作者与家人每次旅行前都会计划细节，作者也会安排一些休息时间来保证每位成员都在旅行中得到放松；此外，在旅行中，作者并不在乎孩子们是否洗了碗或是整理房间，每一次旅行结束后，家庭成员的关系都会更加亲密。因此可知选项a，d正确，b，c与文意相反。因此B为正确答案。
4. C。本题为主旨题。作者写这篇文章主要想表达，自己认为家庭旅行对一个人来说非常重要，对于维系家庭成员之间的感情也很重要，而旅行最重要的价值就是与家人一起经历不同的生活，认识不同的人。因此可判断答案为C。A、D两项过于绝对，B项并非作者的主旨。
