(单选题)

Why Tom thinks a gap year is an ‘alien concept’? ( )

A.It’s so expensive and can’t ask for supports from family members.

B.You can even earn money by doing paid work.

C.When taking a gap year, you will travel to different places.

D.It’s new concept that has not been widely accepted.

参考答案：A

参考解析：

根据 Another student, Tom, declared that a gap year was an ‘alien concept’, He said “it would have been far too expensive and it’s not something that I would have been able to rely on my parents or family members for ”.可知汤姆认为间隔年是“迥异的观念”。他认为这样做太昂贵，不是依靠父母或者家人就可以完成的事情，A项表述正确。B项是接下来专家的观点，排除。选项CD句意本身表达无误，但是并非是汤姆解释alien concept的内容，排除。故本题正确答案选A。
