【答案】

【1】C

【2】B

【3】A

【4】D

【解析】

本文是一篇記敘文。作者小時候，爸爸很胖，每周都需要嘗試一種新的食物來減肥，全家人都不得不與爸爸一起“試吃”，為此作者對爸爸意見很大。后來隨著年齡的增長，作者對父親也有了更深的理解，在選擇職業(yè)時也選了營養(yǎng)師這份工作。

【1】推理判斷題。根據(jù)第五段第一、二句“Over the years...I have come to realize...as much as by a deep pain.”可知，這些年來，作者逐漸理解了父親，意識到他苦苦地與自己的體重作斗爭，不是虛榮和自私，而是對于自己的體重感到深深的痛苦。由此可知，C項內(nèi)容與題意相符。

【2】細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二、三段內(nèi)容可知，作者和家人一起搬到了曼哈頓，離開了祖母還有她做的精致美食，以致作者非常想念祖母，特別渴望去她的家里品嘗美味佳肴。

故選B。

【3】詞義猜測題。根據(jù)第四段畫線詞前后內(nèi)容可知，作者的祖母知道作者心中的想法，每周會給作者寄20美元，一個食譜還有一個購物單。結(jié)合選項可推知，畫線詞所在句子意思是作者的祖母知道解決的辦法。因此畫線詞的意思與選項中solution的詞義最為接近。故選A。

【4】細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第五段最后一句“And in spite of growing up in such an unhealthy eating environment...I found a passion and a career as a nutrition consultant.”可知，盡管在一個如此不健康的飲食環(huán)境中成長(也許正是因為這一點)，作者長大后成為了一個營養(yǎng)咨詢師。由此可知，作者童年的經(jīng)歷給他留下了很深的印象，因此，作者后來成為一名營養(yǎng)咨詢師。故選D。

做推理判斷題時要善于抓住某一段話中的關(guān)鍵信息，即某些關(guān)鍵詞或短語去分析、推理、判斷，利用逆向思維或正面推理，從而推斷出這句話所隱含的深層含義。本題第1小題，根據(jù)第五段第一、二句“Over the years...I have come to realize...as much as by a deep pain.”可知，這些年來，作者逐漸理解了父親，意識到他苦苦地與自己的體重作斗爭，不是虛榮和自私，而是對于自己的體重感到深深的痛苦。由此可知，C項內(nèi)容與題意相符。
