Question

【题目】 The British film star Hugh Grant can’t seem to work out what women want.

“There’s no girl who only wants bastards（坏蛋），and no girl who wants a nice guy（伙计）.Women want both,” the British star tells the May issue of the Talk magazine. “And，really，they’d like to change by turns on a weekly basis. Can any man be both? I like to keep women guessing.”

Since Grant’s break-up last year with his longtime girlfriend Elizabeth Hurley，the thought of throwing himself into another big relationship doesn’t seem like it’s expected.

“How easy do you think it is to find someone you can share 14 years of personal jokes with? Not easy. And I don’t know that I will，” he says.

Still，the 40-year-old star admits he can’t help thinking that his clock is ticking.

“In the end，I want to have kids（children）.But in the back of my mind，I never wanted to have kids until I’d done something I’m proud of written a book，had my name on something really worthwhile,” he says. “I’m determined not to be in front of the cameras any more.”

With all of these concerns（心思)inside，has Grant ever considered seeing a psychiatrist（精神病医生）to sort things out?

“I don’t think I need treatment，thank you,” sniffs the star.

“I’m frightened of those people. And more than that，I don’t want to know what lies beneath（在下面）.”

Answer 1

【答案】【1】A

【2】B

【3】C

【4】D

【解析】【1】 从第二、三、四段看，Hugh Grant已经失恋，失恋后他推断女人需要什么样的男人，应该是好坏兼有的男人。由于失恋，他有可能认为自己是其中的一种，并不是好坏兼有。

【2】 此题可从第四、五段考虑。恋爱14年突然失恋，太痛苦，他想再建立一个那样的关系是不容易的，不像想像的那样，因此选B。

【3】 此题可从第六段及上下文中推断，现在他已步入中年，仍没有家庭和孩子，40岁的他感到时间不饶人，他想要孩子，但现在爱人还不知在何处。从他不想再当演员看，他的演员生涯即将结束，故选C。

【4】 从文中看他还没有孩子，即他没有成功地当爸爸，其他三项都有可能。
