答案解析
D1
1. D 根据第二段最后一句In return, Early Decisions applicants stand a much higher chance of getting into their top choice.可知提前申请的学生被录取的几率更高。
2. A 根据原文Top universities like Princeton and Harvard had done away with Early Decisions because they believed that it negatively affected (影响) applicants from poorer homes that needed to apply to several schools to increase their chances of getting scholarships.可知由于提前申请的学生只能选择一个学校，所以对于那些贫困家庭的想要通过申请多个学校以增加获得奖学金的机会的学生来说，会产生不利的影响。
3. B。根据原文For Chinese students thinking about applying, this could prove to be an opportunity. If you have a dream school, identify (确定) it before the process begins and apply Early Decisions. This should give you a much better chance of having your dream come true. 可知作者还是鼓励中国学生尽早申请自己心仪的学校。
4. D 根据文章可知，主要讲述的是美国大学提前录取的政策及近来的发展。
D2
1. C 根据第一段最后一句What causes such emotions? According to some researchers, it is the subtle changes made by musicians to musical patterns that make music so expressive. 可知文章主要讲述了音乐是如何具备情感交流的能力，让听众产生感情共鸣的。
2. B linger是逗留，徘徊的意思。所以选hold onto.
3. B 根据原文They found that when listening to these versions in random order, musicians and non-musicians both found the original pianist's performance more emotional than any other versions.可知，听了不同版本的音乐后，不管是音乐家还是非音乐家，都感觉到原来的那个钢琴家的演奏更富有感情。
D3
1. D。由第二段的第一句和最后一句可知D正确。
2. B。由第三、四段可知，工程师前面四个晚上的调查未果，所以他决定详细记录每次买不同冰淇淋的各种数据资料，通过数据对比，他很快找到了问题所在，所以B项正确。从一开始工程师就认真对待这一问题，所以A不对；由第四段“The engineer refused to believe that this man's car was allergic (过敏的) to vanilla ice cream.”可知C不对；D项的four nights不对。
3. C。由倒数第二段“… but the extra time taken to get the other flavors allowed the engine to cool down sufficiently (充分地) to start. When the man got vanilla, the engine was still too hot for the vapor lock to dissipate (消散).”可知这位先生如果再去买香草冰淇淋，那么他只要多等一会，直到引擎完全冷却，他的车子启动就不会有问题，故选C。
