【解析】

试题分析：文章大意：Henry Ford造的汽车便宜、结实而且速度快，他是生产此类汽车第一人。但当初造汽车的这种意愿并没有得到家人的支持。

1.A 细节题。根据第一句话Henry Ford was the first person to build cars which were cheap，strong and fast．可知答案选A。

2.C细节题。 根据文章第二句话He was able to se11 millions of models because he could produce them in large numbers at a time；that is，he made a great many cars of exactly the same kind．可知他大批生产同一类型的车，所以C正确。

3.B 推理题。“Ford’s father hoped that his son would become a farmer”他父亲想让他成为一个农场主，但他却成了一名机械师，所以这是与父亲的意愿相违背的，因此选B。

4.D 细节题。根据句子the famous “Model T” did not appear until 1908-five years after Ford bad started his great motor car factory．说明“Model T”直到1908年才问世，那成名自然是在1908年之后，所以D正确。
