【题目】阅读理解。
I wasn’t surprised when I read that actress Helen Hunt recently stated that she would never allow her young daughter to become a child star. Ms Hunt is the daughter of a Hollywood technical director, and grew up in Hollywood. Now in her late 40s, she started acting and modeling when she was eight and has probably seen a lot over those years in show business.
She has had a successful career. She earned four Golden Globes and four Emmys. She also attained the top honor of her profession when she won the Best Actress Academy Award for her role in the 1992 movie, As Good As It Gets. Given those accolades, Ms Hunt is successful. There is no doubt that her early experiences as a child star prepared her for what has been an outstanding adult career. Given those achievements, why would this star declare she’ll never allow her daughter, now at the age of six, to follow in her footsteps?
Everyone familiar with the entertainment scene is aware of the reasons for her attitude. Recent tabloid (小报) news headlines featuring the troubles of former child stars, among them Lindsay Lohan, Britney Spears and the late Gary Coleman, may answer the question. Although Ms Hunt managed to become a successful grown-up star, she apparently believes she’s an exception.
What Ms Hunt may be suggesting is that many very young stars go through unnatural childhoods on movie and TV sets. While they’re earning big incomes, they’re so pampered (纵容) by directors and praised by fans; they may get false impressions that their lives will always be that way. Then, within a few years, when faced with reality, they’re hurt and confused. After all the overwhelming affection, they find they can’t deal with the problems. That’s often when drugs and alcohol take over their lives.
Helen Hunt has some other reasons why she doesn’t want her daughter to be in the entertainment business. Many child stars can never make a successful transition to meaningful adulthood. However, as with many Hollywood movies, I believe there are both good and bad scenes about how it can be played out in real life.
【1】 According to the passage, Ms Hunt _________.
A. started acting and modeling when she was a little girl
B. has been acting for about 30 years
C. is the daughter of a famous actor
D. started singing when she was eight
【2】 The underlined word “accolades” in Paragraph 2 probably means “_________”.
A. difficulties B. awards
C. salaries D. opinions
【3】 The author thinks Helen Hunt’s success is mainly due to _________.
A. her hard work
B. the help of a technical director
C. her experiences as a child star
D. her talent and good luck
【答案】
【1】A
【2】B
【3】C
【解析】
试题分析:本文为夹叙夹议的文章,属于社会文化类。通过“女演员Helen Hunt声称不愿意让她的女儿成为童星”的话题对Helen Hunt的演艺生涯进行了介绍,并且解释了她不愿让女儿成为童星的原因,但作者对此持有不同的意见。
【1】A细节理解题。根据文章第一段“she started acting and modeling when she was eight”可知Ms Hunt在是小女孩时就开始表演和做模特了,故选A。
【2】B猜测词义题。由文章第二段可知those accolades指代上文的four Golden Globes 、four Emmys and the Best Actress Academy Award,故选B。
【3】C观点态度题。由文章第二段There is no doubt that her early experiences as a child star prepared her for what has been an outstanding adult career.可知作者认为Helen Hunt’s的成功主要是因为她做童星时的经历。故选C。

【题目】Katie was in big trouble.She was such a sweet kid; a thirdgrade teacher always dreamed of having a classroom filled with Katies; she was never ever a discipline(纪律) problem. I just couldn't imagine why she had made her parents so angry.
It seemed that Katie had been running up sizable charges in the lunchroom.Her parents explained that Katie brought a great homemade lunch each day, and there was no reason for her to buy school lunch. They assumed a sitdown with Katie would solve the problem, but failed.So they asked me to help them get to the bottom of this situation.
So the next day, I asked Katie to my office.“Why are you charging lunches, Katie? What happened to your homemade lunch?” I asked. “I lose it,” she responded. I leaned back in my chair and said, “I don't believe you, Katie.” She didn't care.“Is someone stealing your lunch, Katie?” I took a new track. “No.I just lose it,” she said.Well, there was nothing else I could do.

【题目】September is a difficult month for all students as they return to continue their education, but for high school and university green hands, it is not just the heavy study tasks they need to follow. They will also go through military(军事的) training, which aims to help students improve their health and help them adapt to college life. The Ministry(部) of Education requires that universities should carry out at least 14 days' military training for freshmen(新生).
Hou Zhengfang, an education expert, questioned the benefits of military training. “It does little to improve students' physical health over only two weeks' time,” she said. “Maybe some disaster prevention training, such as earthquake survival or escaping from fires, would be of greater benefit.”
A freshman who fainted(晕倒) during training said that many students, especially girls, are unwilling to train in direct sunshine. “For me, military training is physically challenging and even damages my health,” said the 19-year-old.
Although Chu Jinjing, a Tsinghua University freshman, did feel some discomfort while training in the heat, the 18-year-old did recognize the benefits of military training. “By going through this tough(艰难的) training, I've become more independent and determined,” said Chu. “I have also managed to make a lot of friends.”
Wang Hui from Xi'an Jiaotong University sees the advantages of military training besides character building. “From senior high school to college, we join military training to start a new journey,” said Wang. “I would feel a bit incomplete without it.”
【1】Hou Zhengfang might advise the Ministry of Education to ________.
A. cut students' heavy study tasks
B. introduce other trainings for students
C. encourage students to work out
D. shorten the time of military training
【2】Chu Jinjing and Wang Hui mentioned all the benefits of military training EXCEPT ___.
A. developing friendship
B. improving students' health
C. building character
D. preparing students for college
【3】According to the passage, what is the author's attitude towards military training?
A. He supports it very much.
B. He is strongly against it.
C. He doesn't express his own opinions.
D. He thinks it's good for his health.
