3.There is an English saying that goes,"he who laughs last,laughs the hardest."High School Musical star Zac Efron is laughing a lot these days.
As a young boy,Efron waspicked on in school because he was always the smallest in his class and teased because he had a big space between his teeth.In sixth grade,Efron's basketball team made it to the league championships.In double overtime(兩個加時賽),with three seconds left,he rebounded the ball and passed it-to the wrong team!They scored and his team lost the game.
But history,as they say,is a thing of the past. Now at 21,Efron is one of People magazine's 100 Most Beautiful People,appears on the cover of Entertainment Weekly,Hollywood's most influential magazine,and is traveling the world promoting the third High School Musical film.Director Adam Shankman described Efron as"arguably the biggest teen star in America right now."Simply geogle"Zac Efron"and you get more than 14 million responses.Yes,it seems Efron has a lot to smile about these days.
Efron was born and raised in California.He took school seriously.According to Efron,"he would go mad if he got a B and not an A in school,and that he was a class clown."It was his father who encouraged him to act.He took part in school performances and with a local theater group.He also took singing lessons.He graduated high school in 2006 and was accepted at the University of Southern California to study film.But he postponed it-why study movies when you can star in them.
Now he has signed on to star in the romantic comedy Seventeen Again and to play in the remake of the hugely popular movie,F(xiàn)ootloose.Efron is also earning more than $3 million for his role in High School Musical 3.Not bad for a 21-year-old.But Efron still remembers those bullies(欺人者).
"You always have to remember that bullies want to bring you down became you have something that they admire,"Efron said."Also,when you get made fun of,when people point out your weaknesses,it's an opportunity for you to rise above".
Efron has risen all the way to the top of the movie business.And he can now laugh all the way to the bank.

分析 本文介紹主人公從開始被嘲笑到最后成為電影明星的勵志故事.他上學時因個頭小等身體原意被同學嘲笑,但是他把這些當做前進的動力,最終他成功的成為國際巨星.

解答 61.C.推理預測題.開頭諺語意為"誰笑到最后,誰笑的最難",通讀全文可知,文章介紹了主人公在成功前受到各種挫折和嘲笑,有個不太順利的過去,可推測,這句諺語也是為了提前向讀者展示主人公坎坷的過去.故選C.
62.B.詞義猜測題.原句中"Efron was picked on in school because he was always the smallest in his class and teased because he had a big space between his teeth"后半句寫原因是他是班中最小的,被嘲笑是因為他有空隙的牙齒.可見"picked on"與嘲笑意義相近,"treated unfairly"不公平待遇.故選B.
63.D.推理預測題.劃線句意為"那都是過去的事了",可推測主人公的現(xiàn)在必定和過去不同,從后文也可以看出,主人公變得很有名氣.故選D.
64.A.細節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)文章"But he postponed it-why study movies when you can star in them."可知他推遲了去上大學是因為要去拍戲,想要成為電影明星.故選A.
65.D.細節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)文章"when you get made fun of,when people point out your weaknesses,it's an opportunity for you to rise above"."可知,Efron認為被人指出缺點后,這是一個你去超越自己的機會,可見他把那些嘲笑當做了前進的動力.故選D.

點評 本文考察人物故事類閱讀水平.傳記類文章在閱讀中時間是全文的關鍵,根據(jù)時間我們可以找到相關的事件,抓住文章的主要內容.故事類文章情節(jié)性較強,閱讀時要注意故事中的時間、地點、人物和發(fā)生的事件,這些都是文章中的主要內容和信息,對于準確理解文章十分重要.
