【题目】 Selena Gomez and I were scheduled to meet at a low-key coffee shop in Encino. Not wanting to keep the superstar waiting, I arrived at nine, 20 minutes early. As I was catching up on e-mails, Selena quietly scooted into the seat next to me. No bodyguard. Not even a drop of makeup. She was ten minutes early and so inconspicuous that no one else in the restaurant looked up so much. Selena was wearing Bebe shorts. She had a baby face and ordered a hot chocolate.

After making small talk about what she wore for the shoot, she dived into the subject of her career. Selena declared 2012 the year of movies. She filmed three: Spring Breakers, a drama; The Getaway, an action flick; and Hotel Transylvania, a comedy. Each is a marked move away from the teen style that made her a household name.

Now that her Disney days are behind her, Selena is at that unstable point in a child star's career where she is trying to grow up-both as a person (she turned 20 in July) and as an artist. Being part of the Disney Channel was a blessing, and I'm super happy with what my show accomplished, but acting is something I would like to take on more seriously.” She continued, I don't necessarily feel accomplished. I want to create a whole different persona when it comes to acting.”

Selena has been working full time since she was seven years old and scored a role on Barney & Friends. In 2007, when she was offered the lead in Wizards of Waverly Place, Selena, her mother, and her stepfather uprooted from Grand Prairie, Texas, to LA, where they are settling now.

1When did Selena arrive at the low-key coffee shop?

A.At 10:00.

B.At 9:10.

C.At 8:50.

D.At 9:30.

2The underlined word in the first paragraph probably means .

A.unconcerned

B.graceful

C.not easily seen

D.always thinking of others

3We can learn from Paragraph 2 that .

A.three famous films made in 2012 have shown her teen style

B.Selena went into her film career as soon as we met in the coffee shop

C.each of the three films marks Selena's move away from her teen style

D.the film Hotel Transylvania is an action flick made in 2012

4What did Selena think of Disney days which were behind her?

A.She thought of playing in Disney as an unstable point in her career.

B.She considered her being part of the Disney Channel a blessing.

C.She didn't feel very satisfied with her show in Disney.

D.She found herself not accomplished in her performance in Disney.

【解析】

这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了,美国超级巨星Selena Gomez出演的一些电影及其个人相关信息。

1

细节理解题。由第一段中的“Not wanting to keep the superstar waiting, I arrived at nine, 20 minutes early.”(我不想让这位超级巨星久等,所以我早920分钟就到了。)和“She was ten minutes early and so inconspicuous that no one else in the restaurant looked up so much.”(她早到了十分钟,而且很不起眼,以至于餐馆里没有人抬头看。)可知Selena9:10到的。故选B项。

2

词义猜测题。由第一段中的“She was ten minutes early and so inconspicuous that no one else in the restaurant looked up so much.”(她早到了十分钟,而且很不起眼,以至于餐馆里没有人抬头看。)餐馆里没有人抬头看,说明不起眼、不容易被看到,inconspicuous在此处意为“不容易被看到”。故选C项。

3

推理判断题。由第二段中的“She filmed three: Spring Breakers, a drama; The Getaway, an action flick; and Hotel Transylvania, a comedy. Each is a marked move away from the teen style that made her a household name.”(她拍摄了三部电影:一部戏剧《春天的破坏者》;一部动作片《出走》;一部喜剧《特兰西瓦尼亚旅馆》。每一次都明显地远离了让她家喻户晓的青少年风格。)可推断出这三部电影中的每一部都标志着Selena摆脱了少女时代的风格。故选C项。

4

细节理解题。由第三段中的“Being part of the Disney Channel was a blessing, and I'm super happy with what my show accomplished, but acting is something I would like to take on more seriously.”(成为迪士尼频道的一员是一件幸事,我对我的节目所取得的成就感到非常高兴,但表演是我更愿意认真对待的事情),可知她认为自己成为迪斯尼频道的一员是一件幸事。故选B项。

【题目】A hybrid electric vehicle (混合动力车) or HEV is a vehicle driven by the combination of petrol engine and electric motor. Terrence has been driving a HEV for five years. He really doesn’t understand why more people aren’t accepting them. “I probably spend about $ 7 a day on petrol,” the taxi driver told news. com. au. In his previous conventional vehicle Terrence said he was spending up to $ 30 a day on petrol, meaning he saves almost $ 6000 every year.

The Toyota spokesman said this was quite a high saving and official tests estimate (估计) an average driver would only save about 33 percent off their current bill. This means a driver paying $ 30 a day on petrol would see their bill drop to about $ 20 using the hybrid. “A taxi driver that drives in built-up areas and spends little time on highways will notice a higher fuel saving,” he said. “Low speeds allow the electric motors to be used more and the petrol engine used less.”

While some people are skeptical about how reliable hybrids are, Terrence said he had never run out of power. His Camry cost about $ 34,000 and so after five years, it’s nearly paid for itself. “For cab drivers, it’s a real advantage because of the cost-effectiveness,” he said. Terrence has no complaints about the car. “I love it, the calm and quietness of it, the simplicity of it—you just jump in and go. The maintenance(保养)is really low. But the only difficulty is finding someone to service the car as there are not many experienced mechanics(机修工).”

Terrence said it’s “extraordinary” that more drivers aren’t buying more hybrid electric vehicles and that governments are not encouraging this more. “I think people have a view that you have to plug it in, which is not true. A lack of information about the cars may be stopping people from taking the plunge. It’s not promoted at all for the public to understand—it’s simplifying the actual owning of a car—you don’t have to do so many things to own it and run it, it’s just so much simpler. Why wouldn’t the government promote such a thing?”

1How much does an average driver save each day by driving a hybrid, according to the Toyota spokesman?

A. $ 30 B. $ 20

C. $ 10 D. $ 7

2Terrence’s problem with his HEV at the moment is about the ________.

A. speed B. power

C. price D. service

3When saying “extraordinary”, Terrence thinks it is ________.

A. understandable B. wonderful

C. doubtful D. unbelievable

4What does Terrence think prevent the popularity of hybrid cars?

A. The difficulty in servicing the car.

B. The restriction of the government.

C. The lack of information about HEV.

D. The inconvenience with charging the car.

【题目】阅读下面短文,根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。

Every summer, hundreds of thousands of students travel to other countries looking for work and adventure. Most of the opportunities are in seasonal work, mainly connected with tourism and agriculture. The pay is usually poor, but most people work abroad for the thrill of travel. You can pick grapes in France, work on a family campsite, entertain kids on American summer camps, and of course, there are always jobs in hotels and restaurants.

But it is not as easy as it used to be to find work. “Unless you speak the language of the country will, there will be very few openings.” Says Anthea Ellis, an adviser on vacation work for students. “If you work as a nanny with a family in Italy, then of course you’ll have to speak Italian. When you arrive to wash dishes in a restaurant in Paris, the owner will expect you to speak French.”

Not everyone enjoys the experience. Sarah James was an assistant responsible for a summer camp group of forty America children in Europe. One child lost his passport; another became seriously ill and was flown home; four children were lost in Madrid for a whole day; the whole group was thrown out of one hotel because of the noise they made. “I did visit a lot of new places,” she says, “but it wasn’t worth it. The pay was awful and really was a 24-hour-a-day job. The kids never slept!”

“The trouble is, students expect to have an easy time of it,” Anthea Ellis points out. “After all, they see it as a holiday. In practice, though, you have to work hard. At the same time, all vacation work is casual work. You’ll have a job when the hotel, the restaurant, or the campsite is busy and you have few employment rights. As soon as the holiday season finished, they’ll get rid of you. If you don’t work hard, or if your employer doesn’t like you, you’ll get fired.”
