【解析】

試題分析：本文敘述了Carl Rowan出生于貧窮的黑人家庭，由于美國當時的種族歧視嚴重，他當時沒有想到要改變這一切，但是他的老師Bessie Taylor Gwynn鼓勵他要多寫他有可能成為一名詩人或作家，后來他成了一名記者，做了許多次報告，贏得了多次獎勵。

1.根據His family was very poor.他的家庭很貧窮，所以后面的句子應該是對于貧窮的舉例，故選F。

2.根據There were not many jobs for blacks in the South.在南方由于種族歧視黑人沒有太多的工作，所以下文繼續描寫他們還有好的學校，故選A。

3.根據She urged him to write as much as possible. 她催促他盡可能的寫，所以可以推著，她Bessie Taylor Gwynn一定相信他能成為一名詩人或作家，故選E。

4.根據He also reported from Europe, India and other parts of Asia.他報道過歐洲、印度及亞洲部分地區。所以可以推知他贏得過幾次報告獎勵，故選B。

5.根據During the last years of his life, he suffered from diabetes and heart problems.及He worked until the end of his life.雖然他患上了糖尿病和心臟病，但是這壞的境況并沒有阻止他的努力，他工作直到去世，故選D。
