Question

【題目】 Selena Gomez and I were scheduled to meet at a low-key coffee shop in Encino. Not wanting to keep the superstar waiting, I arrived at nine, 20 minutes early. As I was catching up on e-mails, Selena quietly scooted into the seat next to me. No bodyguard. Not even a drop of makeup. She was ten minutes early and so inconspicuous that no one else in the restaurant looked up so much. Selena was wearing Bebe shorts. She had a baby face and ordered a hot chocolate.

After making small talk about what she wore for the shoot, she dived into the subject of her career. Selena declared 2012 the year of movies. She filmed three: Spring Breakers, a drama; The Getaway, an action flick; and Hotel Transylvania, a comedy. Each is a marked move away from the teen style that made her a household name.

Now that her Disney days are behind her, Selena is at that unstable point in a child star's career where she is trying to grow up-both as a person (she turned 20 in July) and as an artist. “Being part of the Disney Channel was a blessing, and I'm super happy with what my show accomplished, but acting is something I would like to take on more seriously.” She continued, “I don't necessarily feel accomplished. I want to create a whole different persona when it comes to acting.”

Selena has been working full time since she was seven years old and scored a role on Barney & Friends. In 2007, when she was offered the lead in Wizards of Waverly Place, Selena, her mother, and her stepfather uprooted from Grand Prairie, Texas, to LA, where they are settling now.

Answer 1

【答案】

【1】B

【2】C

【3】C

【4】B

【解析】

這是一篇記敘文。文章講述了，美國超級(jí)巨星Selena Gomez出演的一些電影及其個(gè)人相關(guān)信息。

【1】

細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由第一段中的“Not wanting to keep the superstar waiting, I arrived at nine, 20 minutes early.”（我不想讓這位超級(jí)巨星久等，所以我早9點(diǎn)20分鐘就到了。）和“She was ten minutes early and so inconspicuous that no one else in the restaurant looked up so much.”（她早到了十分鐘，而且很不起眼，以至于餐館里沒有人抬頭看。）可知Selena是9:10到的。故選B項(xiàng)。

【2】

詞義猜測題。由第一段中的“She was ten minutes early and so inconspicuous that no one else in the restaurant looked up so much.”（她早到了十分鐘，而且很不起眼，以至于餐館里沒有人抬頭看。）餐館里沒有人抬頭看，說明不起眼、不容易被看到，inconspicuous在此處意為“不容易被看到”。故選C項(xiàng)。

【3】

推理判斷題。由第二段中的“She filmed three: Spring Breakers, a drama; The Getaway, an action flick; and Hotel Transylvania, a comedy. Each is a marked move away from the teen style that made her a household name.”（她拍攝了三部電影：一部戲劇《春天的破壞者》；一部動(dòng)作片《出走》；一部喜劇《特蘭西瓦尼亞旅館》。每一次都明顯地遠(yuǎn)離了讓她家喻戶曉的青少年風(fēng)格。）可推斷出這三部電影中的每一部都標(biāo)志著Selena擺脫了少女時(shí)代的風(fēng)格。故選C項(xiàng)。

【4】

細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由第三段中的“Being part of the Disney Channel was a blessing, and I'm super happy with what my show accomplished, but acting is something I would like to take on more seriously.”（成為迪士尼頻道的一員是一件幸事，我對我的節(jié)目所取得的成就感到非常高興，但表演是我更愿意認(rèn)真對待的事情），可知她認(rèn)為自己成為迪斯尼頻道的一員是一件幸事。故選B項(xiàng)。
