1：正确答案：A
答案解析：答案选A。本题问的是：这篇文章主要是关于？本段第一句说到最普遍的非小说类文学作品类型之一就是一些来描述人们生活的故事，这些故事大致分为三类：自传回忆录和传记。然后通篇对这三种类型进行了介绍，因此A是正确答案。
2：正确答案：D
答案解析：“gulf”一词是“海湾”的意思，由上文中提到的 “…he remembers his more distant relationship with his parents when he was a teenager”以及“There was just a complete gap in taste”推出gulf并不是“海湾”而是表示两代人之间关系的“代沟”。separation指“分开，分离”。一般情况下，上下文所提示的意义与所考词汇通常是同义、反义或针对性解释的关系，可直接确定词义。
3：正确答案：D
答案解析：空格前面句子中出现了grown up，该词在D中正好有呼应，所以重点关注。后句中的“自由”也是“梦想”中的一个部分，所以D是答案。
