参考解析

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。
