【解析】

本文主要介紹了中國(guó)的大教育孔家子的生平事跡，孔子思想，以及孔子思想對(duì)中國(guó)教育乃至對(duì)世界的影響。

【1】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段people still remember and respect him for his contribution (貢獻(xiàn)) to the education today.可知人們紀(jì)念孔子是因?yàn)樗麑?duì)教育的偉大貢獻(xiàn)，故選B。

【2】排列順序題。第二段His father died when he was only 3.His mother brought him up. As a child, he had to work to help his mother, but young Confucius didn't give up studying. He visited many famous teachers and learned music, history, poetry and sports. Later, he became a teacher and started the first public school in Chinese history.根據(jù)這一段的先后順序可知首先在3歲時(shí)爸爸去世，然后拜訪了很多著名的老師，接著他開創(chuàng)了很多學(xué)校，故就可以決定答案為B。

【3】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段He told us that we all have something worthy to be learned.可知A選項(xiàng)錯(cuò)誤，根據(jù)All study but no thinking makes people puzzled (困惑的)．可知B選項(xiàng)正確，根據(jù)All thinking but no study makes people lazy.可知C選項(xiàng)正確，根據(jù)倒數(shù)第2段A person should be strict with himself, but be kind to others.” he said.可知D正確，故只有A沒有提到，故選A。

【4】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)最后一段可知，孔子思想不僅僅可以幫助個(gè)人學(xué)習(xí)，還可以用于社會(huì)，有100多個(gè)網(wǎng)站都在宣傳他的故事，他的思想已經(jīng)被宣傳到了東南亞。故可以判斷只有C選項(xiàng)正確。

我們對(duì)孔子并不陌生，因此在理解孔子的生平以及孔子思想時(shí)并不困難。本篇問題涉及到的細(xì)節(jié)較多，注意對(duì)細(xì)節(jié)的理解，例如第2小題的排序，在排序時(shí)需要注意第2段的一些細(xì)節(jié)，根據(jù)本段前半部分即可以確定是①③⑤的順序，即可確定答案為B。
