【解析】

文章大意：文章讲的是三篇人物传记，简单介绍了克里斯、奥普拉和马克三人的事迹。

1.细节理解题。根据第一个表格第三、四行“His family was poor when he was a child. He built the business with his own hands”“他小时候家里很穷。他用自己的双手创办了这家公司。”根据第二个表格第四行“At 13, she ran away from her mother and lived with her father”“13岁时，她离开了妈妈，和父亲住在一起。”根据第二个表格倒数第一、二行“she got a job at a radio station. Then she worked very hard and became successful”“她在一家电台找到了一份工作。然后她非常努力地工作并取得了成功。”根据第三个表格第四行“He showed an early interest in the world of computers,He is an American computer scientist”“他显示出了在世界计算机的早期兴趣，他是美国的电脑科学家”可以看出他们都是乐观、积极的人，且让人鼓舞的，故选C。

2.细节理解题。根据第一个表格倒数第一、二行“He built the business with his own hands. At the same time, he also did a good job as a father”“他用自己的双手创办了这家企业。同时，他也做好了父亲的工作。”故选B。

3.细节理解题。根据第三个表格倒数第二、三行“but best known for creating the social networking website, Facebook”“但以创建社交网站Facebook而闻名”以及倒数第一、二行“He is also famous for giving away 99% of the Facebook shares to charity in his lifetime”“他还以一生中将Facebook 99%的股份捐给慈善机构而闻名”故选D。

4.细节理解题。根据第一个表格第三、四行“His family was poor when he was a child”“他小时候家里很穷。”可知A说法是错误的；根据第二个表格倒数第一行“Then she worked very hard and became successful”“后来她非常努力地工作，并取得了成功”可知，B说法是错误的；根据表格可知，三个人的家庭背景都不同，最后都成了名人，所以每个人都有机会改变他/她的人生，所以C说法是正确的；根据第三个表格第四行“At 13, she ran away from her mother and lived with her father”“13岁时，她离开了妈妈，和父亲住在一起。”可知，D说法是错误的，故选C。

5.推理判断题。根据表格，从三个人的简介来看，每个人的家庭背景不同，但是最后都成为了名人，他们都抓住机会改变了自己的人生，所以属于励志故事，应该在报纸出现，故选A。
