Answer 1

分析 本文介绍了电影明星James Dean的生平故事．詹姆斯迪恩十八岁时来到好莱坞，但是起初，他并没有成功．然后他去了纽约．后来由于被大导演伊利亚•卡赞选中后而成名，拍了《伊甸园之东》，以及另外两部电影《无因的反叛》和《巨人传》．由于迪恩不好相处，所以他几乎没有任何朋友；尽管他的视力很差，但他喜欢开快车．1955年9月25日，在他拍完《巨人传》的几天后，迪恩开车兜风时，发生了车祸，并在车祸中丧生．

解答 答案：56．Because he was not successful（there/in Hollywood）． 细节理解题  题干是"詹姆斯迪恩为什么离开好莱坞去了纽约？"根据第一段"James Dean came to Hollywood when he was eighteen，hoping to get into the movies．At first，he was not successful at all．Then he went to New York．"可知，詹姆斯迪恩十八岁时来到好莱坞，希望能进军电影界．起初，他并没有成功．所以后来他去了纽约．故填Because he was not successful（there/in Hollywood）．
57．Elia Kazan．细节理解题 根据第一段"He got a part in a play and was seen by the great director Elia Kazan．Kazan was planning the movie East of Eden and realized Dean would be perfect for one of the main roles．"可知，他被大导演伊利亚•卡赞发现并被选中主演《伊甸园之东》，所以是伊利亚•卡赞使他成名．故填Elia Kazan．
58．Because he was difficult to work with． 细节理解题  根据第二段"…was difficult to work with"（他很难相处）以及下文进一步举例提到"If he didn't like you，he wouldn't even give you the pleasure of his anger．You could be in the same telephone booth with him，but you wouldn't exist，"他如果不喜欢你，都不会对你动怒或是无视你的存在．所以他没有朋友．故填Because he was difficult to work with．
59．James Dean/He hit a car and was killed/James Dean died （in an accident）． 细节理解题 根据第三段"A few days after he finished Giant，on September 25，1955，Dean …．He hit the car at high speed and was killed immediately．可知James Dean于这一天，在车祸中丧生．本题只要表达出这个意思并且字数不超过8个字，即可．故可以填ames Dean/He hit a car and was killed/James Dean died （in an accident）．
60．The writer's contact with Dean． 细节理解题 根据第四段"A few years later，a New York salesclerk…in which she claimed that she was in contact with Dean from the other side of the grave．"可知在这本书里作者"称她在坟墓的另一端与迪恩联系"，故填The writer's contact with Dean．
