参考答案【正确答案：D】
根据" ... that first-generation students may be most lacking not in potential but in practical knowledge about how to deal with the issues that face most college students"（第一代大学生最缺乏的或许不是潜能，而是处理大多数大学生所面临问题的实际知识），but in practical knowledge about how to deal with the issues that face most college students与选项D同义替换。可知D项"在处理大学里面临的问题方面经验不足"正确。
A项"他们实际上对成就差距不关心"与原文中"Many first-generation students struggle to navigate the middle-class..."（许多第一代大学生努力通晓中产阶级的…）所描述的不符。B和C项未提及。
