Question

【題目】 Many actors in the world who are not confident enough to refuse an offer from Steven Spielberg. Maybe that was why Juliette gave him a choice. She said she'd be happy to be in Jurassic Park as long as she could play a dinosaur. Of course he turned her down and it was probably a good thing. It's difficult to imagine Juliette tearing people apart with her teeth. However, her decision doesn't seem to have done her career any harm. She has gone on to make a string of hits, including The Unbearable Lightness of Being, The English Patient (for which she won an Oscar) and Chocolat.

It is not so easy to be successful in the United States for other foreign stars. Aaron is a good example. While some of his films have been popular in the US, they have usually been French films that travelled. One possible exception was Green Card, directed by Peter Weir, where he plays a French immigrant(移民) who goes through a fake wedding in order to stay and work in the United States. This is a predictable but sweet romantic comedy which typecasts(使模式化) its lead actors in terms of national stereotypes(陳規(guī)陋習(xí)). While some reviewers were kind, others shredded both the film and Aaron's performance.

這是一篇說(shuō)明文。文章主要列舉了兩個(gè)外國(guó)明星的事例，來(lái)說(shuō)明有成就的外國(guó)明星想要在美國(guó)成名是不容易的。

【1】推理判斷題。根據(jù)第一段的Many actors in the world who are not confident enough to refuse an offer from Steven Spielberg. Maybe that was why Juliette gave him a choice. She said she'd be happy to be in Jurassic Park as long as she could play a dinosaur. Of course he turned her down and it was probably a good thing. (世界上有許多演員沒(méi)有足夠的信心拒絕斯蒂芬·斯皮爾伯格的邀請(qǐng)�；蛟S這就是為什么Juliette給他一個(gè)選擇。她說(shuō)只要可以出演一頭恐龍，她就非常愿意出演侏羅紀(jì)公園。當(dāng)然，他拒絕了她，這或許是件好事)可推測(cè)，朱麗葉.比諾什不想出演侏羅紀(jì)公園。C. didn't want to be in Jurassic Park(不想出演侏羅紀(jì)公園)符合以上推測(cè)，故選C項(xiàng)。

【2】詞義猜測(cè)題。根據(jù)第一段的However, her decision doesn't seem to have done her career any harm. She has gone on to make a string of hits, including The Unbearable Lightness of Being, The English Patient (for which she won an Oscar) and Chocolat.可知，然而她的決定似乎沒(méi)有對(duì)她的職業(yè)生涯帶來(lái)傷害。她已經(jīng)make a string of hits，包括《生命中不能承受之輕》，《英國(guó)病人》（因?yàn)樗�，她獲得了奧斯卡獎(jiǎng)）和《巧克力》。結(jié)合句意可推測(cè)劃線部分的意思是“成功作品”。C. be successful(成功的)符合和以上推測(cè)，故選C項(xiàng)。

【3】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段的Aaron is a good example. While some of his films have been popular in the US, they have usually been French films that travelled.(艾倫就是一個(gè)很好的例子，盡管他的一些電影在美國(guó)很受歡迎，但是他們通常是傳播過(guò)來(lái)的法國(guó)電影)可知，艾倫的電影在法國(guó)拍攝，但在美國(guó)受到歡迎。D. have been made in France, but seen in other countries, too(在法國(guó)拍攝，但也在其他國(guó)家被觀看)符合以上說(shuō)法，故選D項(xiàng)。

【4】推理判斷題。根據(jù)劃線部分所在句子While some reviewers were kind， others shredded both the film and Depardieu's performance．雖然一些評(píng)論家很善良，但其他評(píng)論家對(duì)電影和德帕迪約的表現(xiàn)都進(jìn)行了抨擊。由此推測(cè)，其他人認(rèn)為Depardieu的表演和電影都很糟糕。 D. terrible(糟糕的)符合以上說(shuō)法，故選D項(xiàng)。
