Question

Daniel Jacob Radcliffe was born on 23rd July 1989 in London. From the age of five, Dan became interested in acting, although his early experience was just playing a part of monkey in a school. He had missed a part in a TV play based on Charles Dickens' Oliver Twist because his parents didn't think it would be a very good idea to act. But he played a role in David Cupperfield.

Chris Columbus who wanted to find a young British actor to act as Harry Potter. Director Columbus had seen David Copperfield and thought Dan could act well. But Dan's parents didn't agree. Columbus called Dan's parents to persuade them to change their minds, and at last they allowed Dan to act in the film. "When my dad told me I'd got the part of Harry Potter, I cried. I even woke up in the middle of the night, around half past two, and I woke up my dad too, just to check with him that it wasn't a dream," said Dan. When Porter’s author Joanne (JK) Rowling saw him, she said happily, "I don't think Chris Columbus could have found a better Harry…"

Answer 1

60-64BDADC

解析:

文章介绍了哈利·波特的扮演者Daniel Jacob Radcliffe的成名历程：从在学校扮演小角色到最终被导演选中扮演哈利·波特。

60. B  细节理解题。由文章第一段“…playing a part of monkey in a school”可知他只是扮演了monkey的角色，而不是和猴子玩，故A项是错误的；根据文章第一段的“Dan became interested in acting”可知他非常喜欢表演，所以B项正确；而该段第三句表明他错失了Oliver Twist中的角色，则C、D两项不正确。故选B。

61. D  细节理解题。由文章第二段中Dan自己的讲述可知，他在半夜醒来后还要向他父亲证实一下是否在做梦，可知他很高兴。故选D。

62. A  细节理解题。从文中“…she said happily”可知她是非常同意Dan饰演哈利·波特的，故她认为处理他导演找不到更好的人了，也就是说他是最佳人选。故选A。

63. D  细节理解题。由文章第一段第一句可知他出生于1989年；从文章第三段的“It came out in November 2001”可知该电影与2001年发行；两个数字相减可知他是12岁。故选D。

64. C  推理判断题。根据文章第三段的第二句可知该电影仅次与Titanic，故A项说法不对；根据最后一段第一句可知他的财产比Prince Harry 和 Charlotte Church要少，故B错误；根据文章第三段的最后两句可知他不但是个好演员而且心地善良；而Dan除了哈利·波特四部曲还演过David Cupperfield，则D项错误。故选C。
