【解析】

這是一篇記敘文。本文主要講述了一些學(xué)生在某個(gè)群體內(nèi)發(fā)送具有攻擊性的表情包，結(jié)果被哈佛大學(xué)拒絕入學(xué)的故事。不同的人就此表達(dá)了自己的看法。

【1】結(jié)合下文At least 10 students who were admitted to Harvard University lost their chance to study there after posting offensive(攻擊性的) memes in a private Facebook group， the university’s student newspaper，the Harvard Crimson, reported on June 5.（據(jù)哈佛大學(xué)學(xué)生報(bào)《哈佛深紅報(bào)》6月5日?qǐng)?bào)道，至少有10名被哈佛大學(xué)錄取的學(xué)生在Facebook上的一個(gè)私人群組里發(fā)布了攻擊性的表情包，從而失去了在那里學(xué)習(xí)的機(jī)會(huì)。）可知是在說明表情包帶來的麻煩，故F選項(xiàng)：表情包可以使我們的交流更有趣，可是有時(shí)候也會(huì)產(chǎn)生麻煩。符合上下文語境。故選F。

【2】上一段提到一些學(xué)生在群里發(fā)送有攻擊性的表情包。以及下文 But later, some students set up another group where they traded several offensive memes.（但后來，一些學(xué)生成立了另一個(gè)小組，在那里他們交換了一些攻擊性的表情包。）可知本空繼續(xù)說明：這個(gè)群開始為了使得大學(xué)新生們彼此認(rèn)識(shí)，但是后來就出現(xiàn)有攻擊性的表情包。故選D。

【3】根據(jù)下文“I appreciate humor, but there are so many topics that just should not be joked about,” incoming freshman Jessica Zhang told the Harvard Crimson.（“我喜歡幽默，但有太多的話題不應(yīng)該被拿來開玩笑，”即將入學(xué)的大一新生Jessica Zhang告訴《哈佛深紅報(bào)》。）為討論這個(gè)問題的內(nèi)容，可知這個(gè)問題引起了激烈的討論。故選A。

【4】根據(jù)下文“It sounds like Harvard is going too deeply into the private lives of students, Alan Dershowitz, a retired Harvard Law School professor, told The Guardian. “It may affect them for life.”（哈佛大學(xué)法學(xué)院退休教授艾倫德肖維茨在接受《衛(wèi)報(bào)》采訪時(shí)表示:“聽起來哈佛大學(xué)對(duì)學(xué)生的私生活干涉得太深了。“這可能會(huì)影響他們的一生。”）可知論述的是有人不贊成這一行為，認(rèn)為哈佛大學(xué)侵犯了學(xué)生的隱私。故選C。

【5】根據(jù)下文Last year, a similar Facebook group for admitted Harvard students drew criticism from the university after some of its members posted racist jokes.（去年，一個(gè)類似的哈佛新生Facebook群遭到了校方的批評(píng)，原因是該群的一些成員發(fā)布了種族主義笑話。）說明這不是哈佛大學(xué)第一次處理類似的事情。故選G。
