【1】D细节理解题。根据第一段第二句“His interest in comics was encouraged by his father， who loved the funny pages.”可知他对喜剧的兴趣是受其爱好滑稽连环画父亲的鼓舞。所以该选D。

【2】C细节理解题根据第一段倒数第二句“Peanuts debuted(首次露面)on October 2，1950…”可知选C项。所以该选C。

【3】C细节理解题。根据第二幅图片下面的介绍“...with the help of Snoopy. Lucy， Peppermint Patty， Linus…”可知A、B、D三项属于Peanuts gang，而Charles M. Schulz是作者，不属于剧中人物。所以该选C。
