(答案→)D
解析：这篇文章给我们提供了五个新闻。
【小题1】细节题。根据第一则消息可知，一位83岁的老奶奶获得她的第一个大学学位，可知，她是一位有着坚强意志的老人。故选D
【小题2】推断题。根据文章An early spring heavy snow dumped 18 inches of snow on the city in less than six hours last night.昨天晚上，一场初春的暴雪在不到六个小时的时间里降落了18寸的雪。dumped的意思是降落 故选A
【小题3】推断题。根据句意：两个因为不法行为被逮捕的人，帮助警察从北边的发生火灾的公寓里救出了20个人，所以他们重获了自由。可知，picked up的意思是逮捕 故选D
【小题4】细节题。根据文章最后一个消息可知，一个22岁的卡车司机杀死了自己的妻子，15分钟之后跳河自杀了。故选C
【小题5】推断题。从文章并不能推断出一个70岁的老人能够获得学士学位，故A错误；从文章第二个新闻并不能推断出在春天的晚上从来不下大雪。故B错误。从文章第三个新闻并不能推断出只有20个人从火灾中得救。故C错误。故选D
