题目分析:本文介绍著名影星Audrey Hepburn(奥黛丽·赫本)的生平事迹。1953年主演的《罗马假日》使她一举成名。从1989年直至1993年去世,赫本一直担任联合国儿童基金会的特使,为拉美和非洲儿童提供了很大帮助。

小题1:推理判断题。此题应根据全文内容来判断。第一段是全文的概括,其重心在后面,即奥黛丽·赫本尽管获得奥斯卡最佳女主角奖,但她担当的援助工作同样使人铭记。再结合文章接下来的叙述可知答案为D。

小题2:细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Her mother thought it would be safe from German attacks”可知在荷兰比较安全,C项正确。

小题3:推理判断题。根据第二段和第三段前半部分可知,A项错误;根据第三段中“she realized she wasn’t going to be a ballerina”可知是她主动放弃的,C项错误;根据第四段中“In 1951 she played the character‘Gigi’in the Broadway play”及后文可判断,这个角色并不是她扮演的最有名的角色,因此D项错误。由文章第三段的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,可知她在20世纪50年代在美国生活,B项正确。

小题4:细节理解题。可以运用排除法。她的婚姻、身份和贡献在文章中都提到了,唯独没有提及她的宗教信仰,故选D。

小题5:排列顺序题。结合文章内容可知:她先从荷兰回来,第一次演电影,赢得奥斯卡最佳女演员奖,在 My Fair Lady里面担任角色,周游世界支持联合国儿童基金会计划。

判断A项顺序正确。

A rabbit is running into his hole. You may ask, “What happened?”

Well, when a rabbit sees something dangerous, it runs away. Its tail moves up and down as it runs. When other rabbits see this tail moving up and down, they ran, too. They know there is danger. The rabbit has told them something without making a sound. It has given them a signal.

Many other animals use this kind of language. When a bee finds some food, it goes back to his home. It can’t tell the other bees where the food is by speaking to them, but it does dance in the air. This tells the bees where the food is.

But animals say things by making sounds. A dog barks, for examples, when a stranger comes near. A cat purrs(发出呼噜呼噜的声音) when pleased. Some birds make several different sounds, each with its own meaning.

But human beings have something that no animals have---- a large number of words about things, actions, feelings or ideas. We are able to give each other information to tell or inform other people what is in our mind or how we feel. By writing words down we can remind ourselves of the things that have happened, or send messages to people far away. No animals can do this. No animals has the wonderful power of language.

No one knows how man learned to make words. Somehow he learned to make them. As centuries went by, he made more and more new words. This is what we mean by language.

People in different countries made different kinds of words. Today there are about fifteen hundred different languages in the world. A very large English dictionary, for examples, contains four or five hundred thousand words. But we don’t know all these. The words we know are called vocabulary. We should try to make our vocabulary larger. Read as many books as possible. When we met a new word, look it up in the dictionary. A dictionary is the most useful book.
