分析 本文介紹了電影明星James Dean的生平故事.詹姆斯迪恩十八歲時來到好萊塢,但是起初,他并沒有成功.然后他去了紐約.后來由于被大導演伊利亞•卡贊選中后而成名,拍了《伊甸園之東》,以及另外兩部電影《無因的反叛》和《巨人傳》.由于迪恩不好相處,所以他幾乎沒有任何朋友;盡管他的視力很差,但他喜歡開快車.1955年9月25日,在他拍完《巨人傳》的幾天后,迪恩開車兜風時,發(fā)生了車禍,并在車禍中喪生.

解答 答案:56.Because he was not successful(there/in Hollywood). 細節(jié)理解題  題干是"詹姆斯迪恩為什么離開好萊塢去了紐約?"根據(jù)第一段"James Dean came to Hollywood when he was eighteen,hoping to get into the movies.At first,he was not successful at all.Then he went to New York."可知,詹姆斯迪恩十八歲時來到好萊塢,希望能進軍電影界.起初,他并沒有成功.所以后來他去了紐約.故填Because he was not successful(there/in Hollywood).
57.Elia Kazan.細節(jié)理解題 根據(jù)第一段"He got a part in a play and was seen by the great director Elia Kazan.Kazan was planning the movie East of Eden and realized Dean would be perfect for one of the main roles."可知,他被大導演伊利亞•卡贊發(fā)現(xiàn)并被選中主演《伊甸園之東》,所以是伊利亞•卡贊使他成名.故填Elia Kazan.
58.Because he was difficult to work with. 細節(jié)理解題  根據(jù)第二段"…was difficult to work with"(他很難相處)以及下文進一步舉例提到"If he didn't like you,he wouldn't even give you the pleasure of his anger.You could be in the same telephone booth with him,but you wouldn't exist,"他如果不喜歡你,都不會對你動怒或是無視你的存在.所以他沒有朋友.故填Because he was difficult to work with.
59.James Dean/He hit a car and was killed/James Dean died (in an accident). 細節(jié)理解題 根據(jù)第三段"A few days after he finished Giant,on September 25,1955,Dean ….He hit the car at high speed and was killed immediately.可知James Dean于這一天,在車禍中喪生.本題只要表達出這個意思并且字數(shù)不超過8個字,即可.故可以填ames Dean/He hit a car and was killed/James Dean died (in an accident).
60.The writer's contact with Dean. 細節(jié)理解題 根據(jù)第四段"A few years later,a New York salesclerk…in which she claimed that she was in contact with Dean from the other side of the grave."可知在這本書里作者"稱她在墳墓的另一端與迪恩聯(lián)系",故填The writer's contact with Dean.

點評 本文介紹了電影明星James Dean的生平故事:包括他成名的過程,他的性格特點以及他去世的原因.文章敘事的思路清晰,所以整體意義比較好掌握.做好本題的關鍵是對文章細節(jié)方面的理解.需要注意答題時不能超過題目規(guī)定的字數(shù).

10.Big storms.High waves.Technical failures.Loneliness.After battling hard times and danger for over nine months,British teenager Mike Perham made history last month as the youngest person to sail solo around the world.
The 17-year-old made the record after he cleared the Panama Canal and then sailed through the Caribbean and home across the Atlantic.
Mike is only three months younger than Zac Sunderland,the 17-year-old American boy who had taken the crown as the youngest solo around-the-world sailor in July.
The two youngsters met in Cape Town in South Africa as they crossed the globe in different directions.Mike insisted they were not rival."No.It's two teenagers going out there,living their dream and having the adventure of a life time."he said.
Mike may be young,but he is no stranger to sailing adventures.He picked up the hobby at age 6when his father took him out in a small boat on a local lake.Father and son sailed separate boats across the Atlantic when Mike was 14,making him the youngest person to cross that ocean solo.That record gave him the taste for this even greater challenge.
On the recent journey,the scariest moment for Mike came when his sailboat was hit by storms in the southern Indian Ocean.
"We were picked up by what felt like a 60-foot wave and threw down on our side at 90degrees,"he said.
"It felt like I was going right over.Stuff was flying around and I just thought‘Oh no'."
At other times,he had to dive into the Pacific and fix problems.He tied himself to the boat,jumped into the water and went to work with a knife in 30-second dives underneath the boat to cut a rope away.
Mike said he felt proud that he made his dream come true."You've got to have confidence in yourself that you will make it,"he said.

56.Which canal did Mike Perham cross?(No more than 3words)thePanamaCanal.
57.What does the underlined word"taste"in the fifth paragraph mean?(1word)Experience.
58.What did Mike believe in?(No more than 10words)Having confidence in yourself will make you successful..
59.What's the main idea of the passage?(No more than 15words)How a British teenager succeeded in sailing solo around the world as the youngest person..
60.What do you think of Mike Perham?(No more than 10words)He is brave and self-confident..
