Audrey Hepburn (奥黛丽·赫本) won an Academy Award as Best Actress for her first
major American movie, Roman Holiday, which was released in 1953. But she is remembered as much for her aid work as for her acting.
Born in Belgium in 1929, Audrey’s father was British and her mother was Dutch. Audrey was sent to live at a British school for part of her childhood. During World War II, she lived and studied in the Netherlands. Her mother thought it would be safe from Gerrnan attacks. Audrey studied dance as a teenager and during college when she returned to London after the war. But she realized she wasn’t going to be a ballerina(芭蕾舞女演员). So she began taking acting parts in stage shows. Later she began to get small parts in movies.
But it was Audrey Hepburn’s move to America that brought her true fame. In 1951 she played the character“Gigi”in the Broadway play of the same name to great critica1 praise. Two years later, Roman Holiday made her a star at the age of 24.
Audrey made more than 25 movies. Among her most popular roles was Holly Golightly in Breakftist at Tiff any’s in 1961. Three years later she played Eliza Doolittle in My Fair Lady.
She was married two times and had one son by each husband. In 1989, the UN Chi1dren’s Fund named Audrey a goodwill ambassador. She travelled all over the world in support of UNICEF(联合国儿童基金会)projects. The UN agency said she was a tireless worker. She often gave 15 interviews a day to gain money and support for UNICEF projects.
Audrey Hepburn often said her loyalty to UNICEF was the result of her experiences as a child during World War Ⅱ. She said she knew what it was like to be starving and to be saved by international aid. She was a goodwill ambassador until her death in 1993 from colon cancer.

小题1:D

小题5:A

试题分析：文章介绍了著名影星Audrey Hepburn(奥黛丽·赫本)的生平事迹。1953年主演的《罗马假日》使她一举成名。从1989年直至1993年去世，赫本一直担任联合国儿童基金会的特使，为拉美和非洲儿童提供了很大的帮助。
小题1:根据全文内容来判断。第一段是全文的概括，其重心在后面，即奥黛丽·赫本尽管获得奥斯卡最佳女主角奖，但她担当的援助工作同样使人铭记。再结合文章接下来的叙述可知，D项正确。故选D。
小题2:根据第三段“Her mother thought it would be safe from German attacks”和
“she returned to London after the war”可知，C项正确。故选C。
小题3:根据第二段和第三段前半部分可知，A项错误；根据第三段中
“she realized she wasn’t going to be a ballerina”可知是她主动放弃的，C项错误；根据第四段中“In 1951 she played the character “Gigi”in the Broadway play”及后文判断，这个角色并不是她扮演的最有名的角色，因此D项错误。由文章第四、五两段可知B项正确。故选B。
小题4:运用排除法。她的婚姻、身份和贡献在文章中都提到了，唯独没有提及她的宗教信仰，故选D。
小题5:排序题。结合文章内容可以判断，A项顺序正确。故选A。

By this time, I felt      and small and now my own      fell. I quietly went to her bed, “     up, my dear daughter.” I said. “Are these the flowers you picked for me?” She smiled, “I found them on the tree. I knew you’d like them,      the blue.” I said, “I’m so   __  that I missed them today ... And I shouldn’t have shouted at you that way.” She whispered(低声说), “Mommy, that’s okay. I still      you anyway.” I hugged her and said, “I love you too and love your flowers, especially the blue.”

As a solo artist，Brightman has sold 26 million albums and two million DVDs in 34 countries. Her musical styles put opera, pop and jazz together. She is popular in the States but not here（Britain）—the image of her and her second husband, Andrew Lloyd Webber（he much older, she his muse) seems for ever frozen.
The 47-year-old singer talks about the new album Symphony that came out of a “very dark time”, including her decision to give up trying to have children. “People have suggested I could adopt,” Brightman says. “But work is central to my life now. And so I am going to put it to one side. After a while not having children becomes the normal and perhaps that might sound alarming, to parents especially, but I have never known anything different. I’m not hurt by not having children. My life and career are incredibly rich.”
Talking about growing up in a large family in Berkhamsted （father a property developer who later committed suicide）, she says: “I was gifted as a child, and very musical. I seemed to be good at anything to do with the arts. At 5 I understood the music I was dancing to and had an eye for costume.” She first appeared in a West End musical at 11 and hated boarding school.
Brightman led the saucy dance troupe（辣妹三人舞）Hot Gossip and had her first hit with I Lost My Heart to a Starship Trooper in 1978. At 18 she married a music manager called Andrew Graham Stewart. “I was probably in love but I can’t remember. Girls change such a lot between 18 and 22. It didn’t really work out.” In 1981 she was spotted by Lloyd Webber. She became his leading lady in Song and Dance, Requiem and Phantom of the Opera. They married in 1984.
Brightman says she felt hostility（敌意） “from the beginning. I haven’t tried to understand it. I’ve done very well everywhere else, especially the UK, where I now live. I just accept it for what it is. The more you are away from Britain, the more you appreciate it. But I don’t miss it, although I miss my family. Our profession can be uncomfortable but I enjoy what I do. I get on with it.”
小题1:The first paragraph tells us that ______.

A．Brightman is very popular around the world except in America

B．Brightman’s musical style is a mixture of opera, pop and jazz

C．the British people don’t like her for her style of music

D．Brightman is much older than Andrew Lloyd Webber

小题2:Brightman decided to give up having children because ______.

A．she could adopt one

B．her life and career were unbelievably rich without children

C．she felt it normal not to have children

D．she was too busy

小题3:The following statements are true except ______.

A．Brightman first appeared in a West End musical at 5

B．Brightman disliked life on campus

C．Brightman was very gifted when she was young

D．the saucy dance troupe made Brightman famous

小题4: The underlined word in the fourth paragraph probably means ______.

A．located

B．admired

C．followed

D．found

小题5:What does the author try to say in the last paragraph by quoting Brightman’s words?

A．Brightman has to accept the fact that she isn’t liked in Britain

B．Brightman lives in America but she loves her own country

C．The British coldness towards Brightman led to her hatred to her homeland

D．Brightman was at a loss why she was not welcome in Britain
