答案解析：
D1
1. D。由第二段的“The award is designed to honor Americans who are committed to (致力于) service and help inspire others to get involved.”可知D为正确答案。B选项涉及了help inspire others to get involved，但是该奖最主要的是获奖者必须通过自己所作的志愿者工作来激励其他人参与，而B项没有提及这一点，所以不能选。
2. B。由第六段的“So Jack had this idea of rewarding him.”以及第八段“At the end of the week, if Jack received an excellent report from the boy’s teacher, the two would go out for ice cream.”可知B为正确答案。
3. B。由该段“Michelle said Jack would often stay up late at night, putting his own homework on hold, so he could help a friend who had a question about Spanish, science or math.”可知，Jack熬夜，主要是为了帮助指导他的朋友学习，帮忙了他人，那么他自己做作业的时间就会被耽搁了，所以putting…on hold在这里表示“把……暂时搁下，延期”，所以选B。
4. A。由第一段Jack乐于助人的事迹、第三段Jack妈妈对他的评价“He gives so selflessly. He can’t help himself.”以及最后一段“He said he hopes to continue his volunteer work in college.”可以推知A正确。由倒数第二段“When he has a moment outside of volunteer work and internships, Jack serves as captain of his high school soccer team.”可知B不对；文中没有提及Jack的妈妈对他的影响，所以C不对；倒数第四段提及了Jack帮助Michelle学习数学，但是并没有提及她因为Jack培养了对科学的兴趣，所以不对。
D2
1. B。作者在这篇文章中主要回忆了她和朋友们的一次万圣节前夕的聚会。
2. D。在第五、六段提到的“apple bobbing”的游戏中，作者和朋友们聚在一个大碗前，这个大碗里装了果汁，果汁里浸泡着好些苹果。然后用东西蒙住眼睛，把手绑在背后，接着要用嘴巴去咬苹果，谁咬的苹果最大谁就赢了。所以在游戏过程中，他们不得不把脸浸到果汁里面。A里的sang文中没有提到。另外在聚会时没有提到他们玩trick-or-treat的游戏，也没有提到他们做假的眼球。
3. C。全文尤其是第三段的“No more schoolwork, no more ballet lessons”和最后一段的“It is one of those days when you forget yourself and escape into a world of fantasy. Even if you are older you feel like a big kid again”，作者的行文中能让我们明显感受到她在过万圣节前夜时愉快的心情。
D3
1. C。本文主要讲的是最近科学家用3D激光扫描史前巨石阵后的一些新发现，所以C为最佳答案。
2. A。由第三段的“A previous study revealed that the way in which the stones were arranged matched the direction of the summer solstice sunrise and the winter solstice sunset”可知D项为以前科学家的发现。由第三段“And now they’ve found out exactly why.”以及第六段“Builders made sure the view from this side was the most eye-catching on the two special days – midsummer and midwinter – when the sunlight shone in that direction.”可知科学家最新发现的是巨石阵如此排列的作用，所以A项正确。由第五段“Their original rough brown surfaces were removed to reveal a brighter inner layer so that the stones would glisten in the sunlight.”可知B项的“other stones”不对，应该还是朝东北的这些石块发光。由第五段“the stones facing northeast were carefully shaped and cleaned with stone hammers ... In contrast, other stones in the circle were not worked in the same way.”可知C项的All the stones不对。
3. C。由第六段“It was clear that ancient builders attached great significance to the stones facing northeast. Researchers said it was because the whole site should be approached from this direction, up an ancient avenue. Builders made sure the view from this side was the most eye-catching on the two special days – midsummer and midwinter – when the sunlight shone in that direction.”可以推知，建造者如此设计巨石阵，是为了确保太阳从东北向照射过来时，该方向的石头在冬夏至的这两天能呈现出最壮丽的风景，所以C项正确。
4. C。该词要结合上文的“under the scanner, the stones facing northeast were carefully shaped and cleaned with stone hammers”以及“Builders made sure the view from this side was the most eye-catching on the two special days”来判断，当年建造者花费巨大的精力与心血来确保巨石阵在冬夏至的这两天能呈现非常壮美的景象，pristine在这里的意思与clean和eye-catching相关联，所以答案为C。
D4
1. C。从第七段的“Recalling her wise words, I took up the challenge”可以得此答案。
2. B。从后文的“I stayed on the sidelines. The fancy footwork confused me”可以猜出，intimidated的意思应该是“害怕的，胆怯的”。
3. C。从朋友的反应可以看出来：“Tango? At your age? You must be out of your mind!”说明朋友觉得作者在这个年纪还学探戈简直不可思议。
4. D。倒数第二段里提到，作者学习探戈是深思熟虑后的决定，他担心自己还能不能像以前一样去尝试新事物，他觉得不学习不冒险的生活很无聊。
D5
1. B。由第一段的“The steps below will help you find a book club that fits your needs and become an active and successful participant.”可知答案为B。
2. D。由第二、三段的首句可以判断D项正确。第三段提到了当地的独立的书店可以帮助你了解读书俱乐部，但是并没有提到你非去那不可，所以A不对；由第三段的“Find a club that interests you and contact the organizer for information on how to join.”可知B项的“make friends”不对；由第三段首句“Buy and read the club's current book.”可知C项的“all the books”不对。
3. C。由最后一段的“People don't join book clubs to listen to long boring lectures, so don't over prepare with too many comments on the book.”可知C项正确。
