【解析】這篇短文給我們介紹了中國的“漢語拼音之父”周有光的生平。他先是在國內的幾所大學學習，后來去了國外。1949年回國，1955年應中國政府的邀請，對漢語進行修改，設計了漢語拼音。如今拼音體系已成為了連接中國和世界的一座橋梁。

【1】細節(jié)理解題。根據短文的開頭Zhou Youguang, known as the "father of Pinyin" was a Chinese. He was born in Changzhou, Jiangsu Province, on 13 January 1906可知，周有光出生在1906年，故應選A。

【2】細節(jié)理解題。根據短文中Later Zhou spent time in Japan as a foreign exchange student. After World War II, he moved to London, and then New York to work as a banker.可知，周有光去過日本、倫敦和紐約，我們知道倫敦在英國，紐約在美國，因此他沒有去過的是B選項，德國。

【3】細節(jié)理解題。根據短文中In 1955, the government invited him to make necessary changes to the Chinese language.可知，在1955年，政府邀請他對漢語進行一些必要的修改。由此可知應選D。
