    【录音原文】
    Windows, just a prototype in 1983, is now the dominant personal-computer (PC) operating system, having seen off a host of rivals. The computer industry has mushroomed in size, gone through several booms and busts, and is now worth around $870 billion. Microsoft has become the world’s largest software firm, and Mr. Gates the world’s richest man. His firm has also, of course, been through a bruising battle with antitrust regulators. But even as the landscape has changed around Mr. Gates, his position as the industry’s figurehead has remained unchallenged. Each year, for two digital decades, he has returned to Comdex to rally the industry, hold court with analysts and journalists, unveil new products and present his optimistic vision of the future.

    正确答案： C
    解析：
    推理题。本题为反选题。原文第四段的前两句话说到：So we enjoyed Mrs. Orr’s cake with white icing twice a year. Nothing fancy, nothing pretentious—just like Dad.可见，作者将父亲比作朴实无华的蛋糕，说明了父亲务实的性格，故B选项的说法正确，可排除。原文第三、五两段的段末，均出现了silly question一词，来表明作者觉得句没自己必要提出前面的问题，同时也说明了父亲固执不愿意改变的性格，故C选项的说法正确，可排除。原文第五段第一句话中的generous一词说明父亲慷慨大方性格，故D选项的说法也是正确的，也可排除。而A选项“苛求的”在原文中并没有体现，因此本题正确答案为A。
