【答案与解析】

这是一篇关于美国总统克林顿的人物传记。克林顿是二战后美国的第一任总统，他是美国最年轻的总统之一。克林顿出生于一个贫苦的家庭，其父早亡，后随继父改姓克林顿。克林顿被邀参观华盛顿市期间，在白宫受到总统肯尼迪接见，当时就有做总统的想法。

1.C 根据“He is the first U.S. president who was born after World War II.”这一句话，可知克林顿是在第二次世界大战之后出生的。故可推知答案为C。

2.B 本题属细节理解题。“Three months before he was born, his father ,William Blats, died.”是答案的出处。

3.D 本题同样也是细节理解题。答案就在第二段的末句中。

4.B 短文末段的首句已交代提非常清楚。
