Question

【題目】Audrey Hepburn won an Academy Award as Best Actress for her first major American movie, Roman Holiday, which was released in 1953. But she is remembered as much for her aid work as for her acting.

Born in Belgium in 1929, Audrey's father was British and her mother was Dutch. Audrey was sent to live at a British school for part of her childhood. During World War II, she lived and studied in the Netherlands. Her mother thought it would be safe from German attacks. Audrey studied dance as a teenager and during college when she returned to London after the war. But she realized she wasn't going to be a ballerina(芭蕾舞女演員). So she began taking acting parts in stage shows. Later she began to get small parts in movies.

But it was Audrey Hepburn's move to America that brought her true fame. In 1951 she played the character "Gigi" in the Broadway play of the same name to great critical praise. Two years later, Roman Holiday made her a star at the age of 24.

Audrey made more than 25 movies. Among her most popular roles was Holly Golightly in Breakfast at Tifany's in 1961. Three years later she played Eliza Doolittle in My Fair Lady.

She was married two times and had one son by each husband. In 1989, the UN Children's Fund named Audrey a goodwill ambassador. She travelled all over the world in support of UNICEF (聯(lián)合國兒童基金會) projects. The UN agency said she was a tireless worker. She often gave 15 interviews a day to gain money and support for UNICEF projects.

Audrey Hepburn often said her loyalty to UNICEF was the result of her experiences as a child during World War II. She said she knew what it was like to be starving and to be saved by international aid. She was a goodwill ambassador until her death in 1993 from colon cancer.

【解析】試題分析：文章主要介紹了奧黛麗赫本的生平。赫本1929年出生于比利時，父親是英國人，母親是荷蘭人。赫本憑借1953年的電影《羅馬假日》獲得奧斯卡最佳女演員獎，同時，赫本還是聯(lián)合國兒童基金會的慈善大使。

【1】猜測詞義題。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段“In 1989, the UN Children’s Fund named Audrey a goodwill ambassador.”和最后一段“by international aid. She was a goodwill ambassador until her death in 1993”可知，赫本不僅是作為演員而出名，從1989年到1993年去世，她還是聯(lián)合國兒童基金會的慈善大使，故選D。

【2】細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段“she lived and studied in the Netherlands. Her mother thought it would be safe from Gerrnan attacks.”可知，赫本去荷蘭生活和學(xué)習(xí)是因為她的媽媽認為那里比較安全，不會受到德國人的襲擊，故選C。

【3】推理判斷題。根據(jù)第四段“Among her most popular roles was Holly Golightly in Breakfast at Tiff any’s in 1961.”排除D；根據(jù)第三段“But it was Audrey Hepburn’s move to America...In 1951 she played the character “Gigi”...Two years later, Roman Holiday made her a star”可知，赫本在二十世紀五十年代生活在美國，故選B。

【4】推理判斷題。根據(jù)第二段“Audrey studied dance as a teenager and during college when she returned to London after the war...So she began taking acting parts in stage shows. Later she began to get small parts in movies.”可知，回到倫敦之后，赫本不想成為芭蕾舞演員，于是，她開始在舞臺劇中扮演角色，后來，她開始在電影中扮演小角色，順序應(yīng)該是②①，排除B、D；根據(jù)第一段“Audrey Hepburn (奧黛麗·赫本) won an Academy Award as Best Actress for her first major American movie, Roman Holiday”和第四段“in 1961. Three years later she played Eliza Doolittle in My Fair Lady.”可知，赫本憑借1953年的電影《羅馬假日》獲得奧斯卡最佳女演員獎，出演電影My Fair Lady是在1964年，順序應(yīng)該是③⑤，排除C，故選A。
