Question

【题目】 It was the beginning of 2011. I had just finished filming the first season of Game of Thrones（《权利的游戏》). With almost no professional experience, I had been given the role of Daenerys Targaryen. The show was so successful that young girls would dress themselves up as Daenerys for Halloween.

And yet, terrified of the attention, terrified of trying to make good on the faith that the creators had put in me, I worked much harder.

On the morning of February 11, 2011, I was getting dressed in a gym when I started to feel a bad headache. I was so exhausted that I could barely put on my sneakers. I tried to ignore the pain, but I couldn’t. I reached the toilet and sank to my knees. A woman came to help me. Then everything became unclear. I only remember the sound of an ambulance.

That operation lasted three hours. When I woke, the pain was unbearable. After four days, they moved me out of the I.C.U. (重症监护室). But one day when a nurse asked me, as part of a series of cognitive (认知的) exercises, “ What’s your name?”, I couldn’t remember my name and I felt terrified: I am an actor; I need to remember my lines. Now, I couldn’t recall my name.

The phenomenon is called aphasia. Then I was sent back to the I.C.U. and, after about a week, I was able to speak and know my name. And I was also aware that there were people in the beds around me who didn’t make it out of the I.C.U. I was continually reminded of just how fortunate I was.

I rarely gave a thought to my health. Nearly all I thought about was acting. I thought of myself as healthy. Once in a while, I would get dizzy. When I was fourteen, I had a migraine (偏头痛) that kept me in bed for a couple of days. But it all seemed manageable — part of the stress of being an actor. Now I think I might have been experiencing warning signs of what was to come.

Anyway, there is something pleasant about coming to the end of Thrones. And I’m so happy to be here to see the beginning of whatever comes next.

【4】D

【解析】

这是一篇记叙文。作者讲述了自己在作为一名演员对待工作非常认真努力却忽视了自己的身体健康，直到有一天她晕倒并进了重症病房接受治疗，她才意识到要重视身体健康。

【1】细节理解题。根据第一段中With almost no professional experience, I had been given the role of Daenerys Targaryen. 由于几乎没有任何专业经验，我得到了丹妮莉丝·坦格利安这个角色。可知作者觉得她认为自己没经验害怕不能很好完成；And yet, terrified of the attention, terrified of trying to make good on the faith that the creators had put in me, I worked much harder. 然而，由于害怕受到关注，害怕兑现创作者对我的信任，我更加努力地工作。可知作者害怕公众的关注。结合选项，故选A项。

【2】细节理解题。根据第三段中A woman came to help me. Then everything became unclear.可知，一个女人来帮助我。然后一切都变得模糊不清。作者是一个女人在健身房里救了她之后失去意识的。故选B项。

【3】推理判断题。根据第四段中But one day when a nurse asked me, as part of a series of cognitive (认知的) exercises, “ What’s your name?”, I couldn’t remember my name and I felt terrified: I am an actor; I need to remember my lines. Now, I couldn’t recall my name.这个过程的描述可知，患有失语症者会记不得事情，哪怕是自己的姓名。故一个患有失语症的病人会不记得过去的事情。故选D项。

【4】推理判断题。根据最后一段Anyway, there is something pleasant about coming to the end of Thrones. And I’m so happy to be here to see the beginning of whatever comes next。可知，不管怎样，能演完《权力的游戏》是一件令人愉快的事情。我很高兴还在这里，见证未来的开始。所以通过这次生病，作者意识到自己的健康出了问题，但作者很感激自己身体还是很健康，判断出作者将来会更加注意她的健康。更好地演戏。故选D项。
