　　CABD本文作者讲述了自己童年的一段经历：他和他的哥哥如何在母亲的督促下，放弃看电视转而去图书馆阅读书籍，从一开始的不情愿到后来逐渐被书中的知识所吸引，进而对书爱不释手，最终学业有成、事业成功。1.C细节理解题。由第一段最后一句可知，WagonTrain”，“Cheyenne”“ILoveLucy”，“MisterEd”均是电视剧名，最后一句的stareforhoursatthetube(显像管)，指的也是长时间看电视。此处tube(显像管)，atthetube其实就是指看电视，由下段的前两句表示转折的话也可知前段是说他两兄弟花很多时间看电视。2.A推理判断题。由第二段第三句Ourmotherhadonlybeenabletogetthroughthirdgrade.可知D正确；由第二段第四句中inthesuburbanhousesshecleaned可知C正确；由第一段第三句MyolderbotherandIlivedwithMom可知B正确；排除B，C和D可知选A。另外，从第一段第三句和第四句描写的他们生活的环境情况看，也可知选项A不合事实。3.B细节理解题。由第三段第一句Wemoanedandcomplained…可知，他们最初是“不愿意的”。4.D细节理解题。由第六段第一句buttheexperience…可知选项D对；由第二句imagesforminginmymind可知选项B对；由Therewereimagesforminginmymindinsteadofbeforemyeyes可知A、B均是作者喜欢读书的原因；由最后一句Icouldreturntothemagainandagain可知选项C对。由Itdidn’tdawnonmeatthetime可知作者当时并未意识到读书能给他予新的体验，故选D。dawnonsb.意为“使某人明白什么”。
