(答案→)B
解析：本文属记叙文体裁，简要叙述了 Bill Robinson的生平经历，分析了Bill Robinson开枪杀人的原因。
【小题1】B属细节辨认题，短文第5句Two years later he returned home and tried to pick up where he had left off，but things were never quite the same again for the young black man．即本题答案出处他想过他以前的生活，正确答案是B。
【小题2】D属细节辨认题，从短文第7句He could not concentrate on his studies and soon he had to leave school可得出他不能专注学业了，正确答案是D。
【小题3】D属推理判断题。从短文第9句He wanted to meet someone nice and get married，but he just couldn't seem to get close to anyone．可知，他想结识某个漂亮的女孩子并与其结婚，但他无法与人接近，所以可推断出，他未婚的原因是“他发现很难交女友”，故正确答案是D。
【小题4】D属概括主题思想题。作者在短文中主要描写了Bill Robinson参加越南战争后的表现及心理变化，因此，用《一名越战受害者》作为本篇短文的题目最能概括全文的主旨大意，故正确答案为D。
