Question

【題目】閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的四個(gè)選項(xiàng)（A、B、C和D）中，選出最佳選項(xiàng)。
I wasn't surprised when I read that actress Helen Hunt recently stated that she would never allow her young daughter to become a child star. Ms. Hunt is the daughter of a Hollywood technical director, and grew up in Hollywood. Now in her late 40s, she started acting and modeling when she was eight and has probably seen a lot over those years in show business.
She has had a successful career. She earned four Golden Globes and four Emmys. She also attained the top honor of her profession when she won the Best Actress Academy Award for her role in the 1992 movie, As Good As It Gets. Given those accolades, Ms. Hunt is successful. There is no doubt that her early experiences as a child star prepared her for what has been an outstanding adult career. Given those achievements, why would this star declare she'll never allow her daughter, now at the age of six, to follow in her footsteps?
Everyone familiar with the entertainment scene is aware of the reasons for her attitude. Recent tabloid (小報(bào)) news headlines featuring the troubles of former child stars, among them Lindsay Lohan, Britney Spears and the late Gary Coleman, may answer the question. Although Ms. Hunt managed to become a successful grown-up star, she apparently believes she's an exception.
What Ms. Hunt may be suggesting is that many very young stars go through unnatural childhoods on movie and TV sets. While they're earning big incomes, they're so pampered (縱容) by directors and praised by fans; they may get false impressions that their lives will always be that way. Then, within a few years, when faced with reality, they're hurt and confused. After all the overwhelming affection, they find they can't deal with the problems. That's often when drugs and alcohol take over their lives.
Helen Hunt has some other reasons why she doesn't want her daughter to be in the entertainment business. Many child stars can never make a successful transition to meaningful adulthood. However, as with many Hollywood movies, I believe there are both good and bad scenes about how it can be played out in real life.
（1）According to the passage, Ms. Hunt ________.
A.started acting and modeling when she was a little girl

Answer 1

【答案】
（1）A
（2）B
（3）C
（4）C
【解析】本文是一篇記敘文，好萊塢女演員海倫·亨特自己由童星出身，但卻禁止她的女兒從事表演行業(yè)。本文分析了可能的原因。
（1）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第一段中的“Now in her late 40s, she started acting and modeling when she was eight...”可知，她在很小的時(shí)候就開始表演了，故選A項(xiàng)。
（2）考查詞義猜測(cè)。根據(jù)第二段中的“She also attained the top honor of her profession when she won the Best Actress Academy Award for her role in the 1992 movie...”，以及“Ms. Hunt is successful.”可知，它是“獎(jiǎng)項(xiàng)”的意思，故選B項(xiàng)。
（3）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第二段中的“There is no doubt that her early experiences as a child star prepared her for what has been an outstanding adult career.”可知，作者認(rèn)為Helen Hunt的成功在于她從童年開始的經(jīng)歷，故選C項(xiàng)。
（4）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)最后一段中的“I believe there are both good and bad scenes about how it can be played out in real life.”可推出，作者對(duì)于童星有不同的意見，故選C項(xiàng)。
