【解析】

本文介紹了大衛(wèi)·布萊恩，他既是街頭魔術師，也是極限特技運動表演者，他精彩的表演從來沒有讓他的觀眾失望過，在他還不到40歲的時候，他完成了一本關于他自己的著作，現(xiàn)在不是所有人都知道他，不過將來他會家喻戶曉。

【1】細節(jié)細節(jié)題。根據(jù)But ask New Yorkers the same question, and they will probably say, “Yes, we have.”可知，大多數(shù)的紐約人要比其他人對大衛(wèi)·布萊恩了解的更多。故選B。

【2】細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)Several years ago, on his first show, he walked around the streets of New York and entertained( 娛 樂 ) people with amazing tricks.可知，大衛(wèi)·布萊恩在他第一次的電視表演上，是通過表演令人驚訝的魔術變得出名。故選C。

【3】詞義猜測題。根據(jù)David has spent about 62 hours inside a block of ice, he’s stayed under water in a huge glass bowl for 7 days, he’s lived in a glasss box for 44 days with no food, and he’s stood on a 30-meter pole for about 35 hours.可知，在一塊冰里待62小時，在水下玻璃箱里待7天，在玻璃箱里待44天且不吃東西，在30米高的柱子上站35小時等這些都屬于危險的極限運動，也就是他危險的興趣愛好。故選B。

【4】細節(jié)題理解。根據(jù)And he read people’s thoughts. 可知，他能讀懂人們的想法，A項正確；根據(jù)But he’s already written a book about his life.可知，他寫了一本關于他自己生活的書，C項正確； 根據(jù)he’s stood on a 30-meter pole for about 35 hours可知，他在30米高的柱子上站35小時，D項正確。B項，從一架飛機中跳出去，并不是在40歲之前做過的事情。故選B。

【5】細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)His audiences(觀眾) have never been disappointed.可知，他的觀眾從來沒有失望過，因為他的表演很出色，觀眾對他的表演非常感興趣、很滿意。A項與文章內(nèi)容不符，所以A項表述錯誤。根據(jù)he’s lived in a glasss box for 44 days with no food ，可知他在玻璃箱中待了44天沒有進食，所以B項正確；根據(jù)Mysterious Stranger probably describes him really well 可知，這本書可以很好的描述他，所以C項正確；根據(jù)But David isn’t just an entertainer-- he also does stunts可知，他不僅是表演師，也是一個特技表演者，所以D項正確。故選A。
