【解析】

試題分析：短文大意：海明威是著名的作家之一。他于1899年出生在美國。他的爸爸是一名醫(yī)生，喜歡運(yùn)動，他的母親教音樂。在家庭中六個(gè)孩子中，海明威是第二。海明威在他的一生寫了許多書。《老人與�！肥亲钪�名的。

1.第一段中His father was a doctor and loved sports very much,可知海明威的爸爸是一名醫(yī)生，非常喜歡運(yùn)動，所以該選B。

2.第二段中The Old Man and the Sea is one of the most famous and also my favorite. It came out in 1952.可知《老人與�！肥亲钪�名的作品。它出版于1952年。所以該選C。

3.第二段中Then on the eighty-fifth day the man gets a big fish可知老人直到第八十五天才釣到一條大魚，所以該選D。

4.短文最后Although he meets a lot of trouble, the old man never gives up可知雖然他遇到了很多麻煩，老人從未放棄。所以該選B。

5.推理判斷題。根據(jù)短文最后Although he meets a lot of trouble, the old man never gives up可知雖然他遇到了很多麻煩，老人從未放棄。所以我們陷入困境時(shí)也不應(yīng)該放棄，因此該選A。
