【题目】阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。
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 40 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
(4)From the passage we can conclude that ________.
A.few child stars will succeed in the future
B.there is no way to save the entertainment business
C.the author has a different opinion about child stars
D.meaningful adulthood only belongs to non-child stars

【题目】阅读理解
I was asked in an email about learning idioms in a foreign language. Maybe I am different from most people,but I do not bother with them. To me they are kind of dessert of language learning. They come at the end of a meal. Once you have filled up with the key words and phrases that are used in a variety of situations,then you can add a few idioms. And by that time, you will be able to pick them up naturally anyway.
I find that many learners have trouble with idioms,as if repeating some very colloquial expressions is going to upgrade how they sound in a language. In fact, it is the opposite. Idioms are difficult to use correctly.
Yes,occasionally you hear idioms and do not understand. But,in my experience,there are always situations where you do not understand. It is best to focus on the most important words,what they mean and how they are used. Certainly,it is best for a nonnative speaker to stick to standard speech.
Some teachers even try to teach the “real language”.Then you hear nonnative speakers saying things like “I goanna”, “You wane” etc.
You will learn all the idioms you need just by exposing yourself to the language. In general,you can save any phrase that you find interesting,and if that includes idioms,go to it. But I would not make any special effort to go after idioms. I,in fact,avoid them. If I come across something in Russian that strikes me as a particularly idiomatic use of words,I just leave it aside; do not even bother trying to learn it. If it keeps on appearing,then I will learn it.
(1)In the writer's opinion,when one learns a new language,one should learn its idioms ________.
A.at the beginning
B.on one's own
C.in the end
D.without help
(2)The underlined word “colloquial” in Para.2 means “________”.
A.oral
B.informal
C.formal
D.written
(3)It can be inferred from the passage that ________.
A.idioms are the most important part in a language
B.the writer is not very willing to use idioms
C.nonnative speakers should learn more idioms
D.there are no ways to master idioms
(4)How did the writer develop the passage?
A.By inferring.
B.By comparing.
C.By listing examples.
D.By giving explanations.
