Question

A few years ago, I moved into a new house in Los Angeles. Soon after, a family moved in next door. It wasn’t the best of times for me. I had just divorced(離婚) from my second wife, and I wasn’t working. I’d come home each day and sit by myself in the backyard. One night, I heard someone from the yard next door, “Tom ! How are you, Tom? ” 
I couldn’t see anybody through the trees, but I answered, “I’ m good.”
“Good!” said the voice.
“What’s your name?” I asked.
“Eric.” Then I heard someone say, “Eric, don’t bother him.”
“Okay!” Eric said. “Talk to you tomorrow!”                                                                           
Months later, on Halloween, we finally met face to face. Eric came to the door dressed like a rap star. We became friends. We’d hang out in our yards, and Eric, who was almost 17 at the time and look liked a 13-year-old, would tell me his ideas and dreams. Eric’s dad, Alec Gores, is a billionaire(億萬富翁), the head of Gores Technology Group.
One day, Alec called me and said, “I know you are an actor. My son’s an actor, too. And he’s very good. I want you to write a movie for him. He wants to do something like True lies.” That’s the movie I made in 1994. His father has given Eric the great gif of confidence. He believes he can do anything he wants. He also offered to fund the movie. And that’s how The Kid & I, which opens in November, began.
Well, I really have to say that opportunity(機會)lies anywhere.

解析試題分析：
【小題1】細節題。從第一段I had just divorced(離婚) from my second wife, and I wasn’t working. I’d come home each day and sit by myself in the backyard.中可知作者和他的第二任妻子離婚了，也沒有工作，每天獨自坐在后院里。故選C
【小題2】細節題。第八段One day, Alec called me and said, “I know you are an actor.可知，作者是一名演員。故選B
【小題3】細節題。第七段Months later, on Halloween, we finally met face to face. Eric came to the door dressed like a rap star. We became friends. We’d hang out in our yards, and Eric, who was almost 17 at the time and look liked a 13-year-old, would tell me his ideas and dreams. Eric’s dad, Alec Gores, is a billionaire(億萬富翁), the head of Gores Technology Group. 在萬圣節上，Eric的裝扮像一個說唱歌手，他的父親是個億萬富翁，是戈爾科技集團的總裁。并沒有說，他只和他父親生活在一起，也未提到他感到過寂寞。故選B
【小題4】推斷題。由倒數第二段，Eric的父親知道作者是一個演員，他的兒子也是一個演員。他想讓作者為Eric寫一部電影，他會為電影投資。這樣，《孩子和我》這部電影就在11月份開工了。故選A
【小題5】主旨題。最后一段I really have to say that opportunity(機會)lies anywhere.作者不得不說，機會無處不在。故選C
考點：記敘文
點評：文章講述了作者因為第二次離婚后無所事事，整天就是坐在后花園里消磨時間。一天他認識了一個17歲的男孩Eric，由于Eric和作者都是演員，Eric的父親是一位億萬富翁，準備為兒子投資一部電影，想請作者為其編劇一個電影。最后作者發現其實機會無處不在。文章簡短精悍，理解好文章后，掌握細節題的解題方法，答案就一目了然了。
