问题 单项选择题

Acting is such an over-crowded profession that the only advice that should be given to a young person thinking of going on the stage is "Don’’t!". But it is useless to try to discourage someone who feels that he must act, though the chances of his becoming famous are slim. The normal way to begin is to go to a drama school. Usually only students who show promise and talent are accepted, and the course lasts two years. Then the young actor or actress takes up work with a repertory company, usually as an assistant stage manager. This means doing everything that there is to do in the theatre: painting scenery, looking after the furniture, taking care of the costumes, and even acting in very small parts. It is very hard work indeed. The hours are long and the salary is tiny. But young actors with the stage in their blood are happy, waiting for the chances of working with a better company, or perhaps in films or television.Of course, some people have unusual chances which lead to fame and success without this long and dull training. Connie Pratt, for example, was just an ordinary girl working in a bicycle factory. A film producer happened to catch sight of her one morning waiting at a bus stop, as he drove past in his big car. He told the driver to stop, and he got out to speak to the girl. He asked her if she would like to go to the film studio to do a test, and at first she thought he was joking. Then she got angry and said she would call the police. It took the producer twenty minutes to tell Connie that he was serious. Then an appointment was made for her to go to the studio the next day. The test was successful. They gave her some necessary lessons and within a few weeks she was playing the leading part opposite one of the most famous actors of the day. Of course, she was given a more dramatic name, which is now world-famous. But chances like this happen once in a blue moon!

According to the passage, the main, reason why young people should be discouraged from becoming actors is________.

A.actors are very unusual people

B.the course at the drama school lasts two years

C.acting is really a hard job

D.there are already too many actors

答案

参考答案:D

解析:细节推理题。短文第一句话就谈到了这一点:Acting is such an over-crowded profession that the only advice that should be given to a young person thinking of going on the stage is “Don’’t!”这里的一个关键词组是an over-crowded profession(拥挤不堪的职业),即从事当演员这个职业的人太多了。

诱杀

朱耀华

  豹子向摄影师一步一步走过来,终于,它在离他几米远的地方站住了。豹子用充满敌意和怀疑的目光盯着他看了一会儿。那一会儿,摄影师的额头慢慢沁出了冷汗。

  摄影师保持着一种闲散的姿势,两腿盘坐在地上,表情平和,这样使他看起来不构成攻击性。当然,他的内心此刻充满了紧张,还有一些掩饰不住的恐惧。他默默地对自己说:沉住气,沉住气。

  豹子又向前迈动了。他的心提到了嗓子眼,但他依然保持着固有的姿势,他的心跳蓦然升腾起一种壮烈的感觉。但这时,豹子转了一个弯,和他擦肩而过。

  成功了!摄影师心头一阵狂喜。豹子终于可以接受自己了。为了达到这个目的,摄影师用了整整半年时间。

  半年前,摄影师只身来到这座原始森林,很多时候,他和护林人住在一起。摄影师有一个宏大的计划,就是拍摄一组动物生活的真实镜头。他要求自己超越前人,能最大限度地和动物亲密接触,哪怕是最凶猛的动物。

  很快,他发现了豹子。

  他让自己慢慢进入了豹子的视野。开始,他驾着越野车,和豹子保持着若即若离的距离。有两次,豹子对他展开了攻击,它暴怒地拍打着坚硬的车门。但是,最终,它无可奈何地走了。两个月后,摄影师就试着开始走出那个车厢,用尽可能通俗的身体语言向豹子表达自己的善意。在他身上,一切有嫌疑的东西都丢在了车厢里,包括钥匙。当然,他不知道和豹子之间能不能达成沟通。但是,确切的是,他和豹子之间的距离在一步步缩小。

  直到最后。他和豹子的这种默契持续了一个星期,然后,他和它有了最初的肌肤之亲。豹子眼睛里的敌意已经近于消失。

  接下来,是让豹子熟悉摄影机的时候了,那个拉着长镜头的家伙很容易造成误会,使豹子认为它可能会受到攻击,从而激惹它嗜血的兽性。因此,摄影师一直小心翼翼。

  半个月后,他完全获得了成功。他和豹子成了朋友,他可以摸着豹子的头跟它说话,可以亲手把好吃的食物送到豹子的嘴里,而豹子在欢欣之余,则喜欢翻滚着和他嬉戏一番。

  如果不是怀着好奇躲在摄影师的车里亲眼看到,那个护林人就是死了也不会相信这一切都是真实的。

  摄影师从容地拍摄豹子生活的一切,包括它和母豹子的爱情,直到他预备的摄影胶片全部装满。有时候,豹子还调皮地用嘴去“咬”摄影机的镜头。

  摄影师满载而归,他给人们带回了一个崭新的森林童话。

  悲剧发生在两个星期之后。那天来了一个猎人。猎人是偷偷进来的,因为森林里早已明令禁止狩猎。但是,猎人需要钱。一张虎皮或豹皮都值上千块钱。运气好的话,也许还能得到象牙之类。猎人一心抱着发财的念头,于是,他铤而走险。

  猎人是在毫无防备的时候遭遇豹子的。那天,他实在太疲倦了,靠着一棵榕树,竟睡着了。

  当他被一阵轻微的簌簌声弄醒的时候,他睁开眼,竟看见一只豹子近在咫尺!

  猎人立时毛孔贲张,脑袋里“轰”的一声。枪就在他手边,子弹早已上膛,但是,那时,他完全呆住了。

  更不可思议的是,豹子竟挨着他蹲了下来。豹子望着他,那样子充满天真,仿佛是一个想听故事的孩子。

  猎人以为是做梦,他悄悄使劲咬了咬嘴唇,感到了疼痛。

  恐惧中,他本能地抓住了枪,并且把枪管移向豹子的头部。

  豹子没有反应,它懒洋洋地伸了个懒腰,之后就用嘴去叨枪管。

  一声惊天动地的爆响。

  豹子的身子一下子飞了起来,同时,一朵血花在它的头部灿烂地开放……

  猎人很久都没有反应过来,怎么打一只豹子比打一只兔子还容易?(选自《2003年中国微型小说精选》,有改动) 

请分点概括摄影师和豹子成为朋友的过程。
