【小题3】C- 试题分析：本文由世界闻名的加菲猫作为开头，引出了他的创作者Jim Davis，详细介绍了他的生平。他从小在父亲的农场帮忙，家里养了25只猫。体弱多病的他在休息时就会画画来打发时间。这些都为他创作加菲猫创造了条件。加菲猫形象创作成功也为他赢得了许多奖项。
【小题1】 细节理解题。有前面那句话Garfield became the central character in daily difficult experiences with Jon, his owner, and other characters.可知，主语是Garfield，所以后面的句子主语he也应该是加菲猫，另外由Heis lazy, funny and hungry.这句话，大家也可以推测出这里的he指的是加菲猫。故选D。
【小题2】细节理解题。由文中Jim noticed that there were many comic strips about dogs but few about cats.这句话可知，在创作加菲猫之前，有许多动画版本是关于狗的，而几乎没有关于猫的，所以D是正确的。加菲猫的创作是吉姆一人完成的，并没有提到他的哥哥；加菲猫的故事被翻译成多国文字，但并不是世界上所有的文字；家里养的猫对吉姆创作加菲猫起到很大的帮助。故其他选项都不对。
【小题3】中心归纳题。本文的主要内容就是介绍了加菲猫的创作者，并没有告诉我们去看更多的动画，也没有指导读者怎样才能成为卡通画家，更没有证明加菲猫是最受欢迎的卡通形象。故选C。
