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. 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 Tiffanys 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 projects. The UN agency said she was a tireless worker.

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.语篇解读本文介绍著名影星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。1In Paragraph 1, “her aid work” means _.A. winning an Academy Award as Best ActressB. taking acting parts in stage showsC. making moviesD. acting as a goodwill ambassador for UNICEF解析推理判断题。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。答案D2The reason why Audrey lived and studied in the Netherlands was that _.A. she wanted to be a ballerinaB. her parents were from BritainC. the education there was excellentD. it was safe there解析细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Her mother thought it would be safe from German attacks”和“she returned to London after the war”可知D项正确。答案D3We can infer from the passage that _.A.

It is claimed that the end of time will come as a Planet X or Nibiru heads toward or collides with the Earth.Some websites accuse NASA of hiding the truth on the planet s existence, but the US space agency denounced such stories as an “Internet hoax(恶作剧) ”. “There is no factual basis for these claims，” NASA said in a questionandanswer posting on its website. “If such a collision were real, astronomers would have been tracking it for at least the past decade, and it would be visible by now to the naked eye. Obviously, it does not exist. Credible scientists worldwide know of no threat associated with 2012，” it insisted. “After all, our planet has been getting along just well for more than four billion years，” added NASA.There is another planet, Eris, floating in space. But the small planet similar to Pluto will remain safely fixed in the outer solar system and it can come no closer than four billion miles to the Earth, according to NASA.Initial theories set the disaster for May 2003, but when nothing happened the date was moved forward to the winter in 2012 to coincide with the end of a cycle of the ancient Mayan calendar.NASA insisted the Mayan calendar in fact does not end on December 21, 2012, as another period begins immediately afterward.And even if the planets were to line up as some have forecast, the effect on our planet would be “negligible”， NASA said.“And while comets and asteroids (小行星) have always hit the Earth, big hits are very rare，” NASA noted. The last major impact was believed to be 65 million years ago，resulting in the end of dinosaurs.“We have already determined that there are no threatening asteroids as large as the one that killed the dinosaurs，” the space agency said.语篇解读好莱坞灾难大片2012使网络上盛传的“2012年12月21日为世界末日”这一所谓的玛雅预言再次进入人们的视野。为此，美国宇航局重申，2012年12月21日并不是世界末日，传言中的X星球将与地球相撞也并不属实。1_played a key role in the spread of the rumors.A. A new bookB. The Internet and a new Hollywood movieC. NASAD. An Indian calendar解析细节理解题。根据第一段中to dispel widespread rumors fueled by the Intermet and a new Hollywood movie可知因特网和一部好莱坞新片对传播世界末日的谣言起到了推波助澜的作用。答案B2The film 2012 is_.A. about the end of the worldB. based on the scientific predictionC. well accepted in the science fieldD. about a romantic love story解析细节理解题。根据第二段第一句可知2012这部电影是关于世界末日的。根据文章内容可先排除D项；由第二段中based on myths(虚构的故事)可知B项错误；由宇航局的讲话可推出C项错误。答案A3We can infer that_.A. people didnt take the rumor seriouslyB. Planet X or Nibiru does existC. astronomers have been tracking Planet X for over ten yearsD. the rumor caused a panic among some people解析推理判断题。根据the US space agency insisted Monday in a rare campaign to dispel widespread rumors可知谣言传播之广以至于美国宇航局不得不出来辟谣，由此可见事态严重，故可判断谣言有可能造成了一些人的恐慌。答案D4NASA thinks that Eris_.A. might pose a threat to the EarthB. doesnt pose any threat to the EarthC. is too far away to be visibleD. is similar to our planet, where life might exist解析细节理解题。根据第四段内容可知Eris行星并没有对我们的地球构成威胁。答案B5. Which of the following is the best title?A. New Hollywood movie 2012B. December 21, 2012, NOT the end of the worldC. End of the ancient Mayan calendarD. How rumors came into being解析主旨大意题。本文主要讲美国宇航局驳斥“2012年12月21日是世界末日”的谣言。故B项为最佳标题。答案B长难句解读The latest big screen offering from Sony Picture, 2012, arrives in theaters on Friday, with a 200milliondollar production about the end of the world supposedly based on myths(虚构的故事) backed by the Mayan calendar.本句为简单句。句子的主语为The latest big screen offering，意为“最新银幕作品”。介词短语“with a.”作状语。过去分词短语supposedly based on myths作定语，修饰the end of the world。过去分词短语backed by the Mayan calendar作定语，修饰myths。*结束- 7 -
