Nathan Thomas is a young American man. He loves learning very much. When he was 10, he went to college. At 18, he became the world’s youngest man professor (教授). He teaches computer science to college students.

Many of Nathan’s students are older than him. But Nathan says age is not important. He does his best to help his students learn. He feels happy when his students finally understand difficult things.

Now Nathan is studying law (法律). In his free time, he enjoys sports and music. He tells everyone: “Don’t compare (比较) your life with others. Just keep working hard for your own goal.”

1.1.Where does Nathan Thomas come from?

A The UK.

B Canada.

C The USA.

D Australia.

解析：选C。C 细节理解题。文章开篇第一句便明确指出“Nathan Thomas is a young American man.”，其中“American”意为“美国人”，由此可知他来自美国，因此C项正确。A项的英国、B项的加拿大和D项的澳大利亚在文中均未提及，无法作为他国籍的依据。故选C。

2.2.What did Nathan do at age 10?

A He became a professor.

B He went to college.

C He started to study law.

D He taught college students.

解析：选B。B 细节理解题。文中明确提到“When he was 10, he went to college.”，即10岁时他上了大学，这与B项内容完全吻合。A项成为教授发生在他18岁时；C项学习法律是他现阶段正在做的事情，并非10岁时的经历；D项教大学生是成为教授之后的工作，也不是10岁时发生的事，因此均不能入选。故选B。

3.3. Which of the following is TRUE about Nathan?

A He is lazy and hates work.

B He is worried about his age.

C He is bored with teaching.

D He is kind and loves learning.

解析：选D。D 推理判断题。文中多处信息可以帮助我们推断Nathan的品格：他“loves learning very much”（非常热爱学习），教学时“does his best to help his students...”并因学生理解难点而“feels happy”，这些细节共同塑造出一个善良且好学的形象，因此D项正确。A项“懒惰且讨厌工作”与他对学习和教学的热情完全相反；B项“担心自己的年龄”与文中“age is not important”的态度明显矛盾；C项“对教学感到厌倦”更是与“feels happy”所传达的积极情感不符，排除。故选D。

4.4. What does Nathan tell us to do?

A Work hard for our goals.

B Stop learning new things.

C Study law in college.

D Compare with other people.

解析：选A。A 观点态度题。文章结尾Nathan告诫大家：“Don’t compare your life with others. Just keep working hard for your own goal.”，即不要与他人比较，而要为自己的目标努力奋斗，这直接对应A项“Work hard for our goals.”。B项“停止学习新事物”与Nathan本人持续学习法律的行为以及他鼓励学习的态度背道而驰；C项“在大学学习法律”仅是他个人的当前选择，并不是他向所有人提出的建议；D项“与他人比较”正是他明确反对的做法，因此三项均不正确。故选A。
