Question

【题目】阅读下面的短文，然后根据短文内容回答问题。

One of the strangest jobs at the Oscars(奥斯卡) is that of a seat-filler(填补座位的人). When one of the stars needs to go to the bathroom, a seat-filler sits in the star’s seat. That way, the TV cameras won’t show any empty seats. Kathy Muller talks about her night as a seat-filler.

I was told to reach the theater in the middle of the day, wearing my dress or the evening. There were about 200 of us, seat-fillers, all very excited. We were told what we should and shouldn’t do(for example, “Don’t talk to the stars”), and then we waited until 5 o’clock.That’s when the stars started coming.

The show started at six o’clock. We had to stand outside the doors. Then, when someone came out to go to the bathroom or have a cigarette(抽烟),we were told to go and sit in their seats. The show was three hours long, and I only sat down five times. In the end, I was really tired, but I was happy because, during the evening, I sat behind Jim Carrey (he’s very tall!) and close to Denzel Washington, Nicole Kidman and Julia Roberts. It was an exciting night, but I think next year I’ll watch the Oscars on TV at home like everyone else!

【解析】

这篇短文给我们介绍了一个很有趣的工作——座位填充员。在奥斯卡颁奖晚会上，如果有明星需要出去，他们的座位不能空着，这些座位填充员就坐到他们的座位上。文章中Kathy Muller讲述了她的工作经历。

【1】根据短文第一段中“When one of the stars needs to go to the bathroom, a seat-filler sits in the star’s seat.”可知，当明星需要去上厕所时，座位填充员就坐在他们的座位上。故答案为A sit-filler sits in the star’s seat.

【2】根据短文第二段“We were told what we should and shouldn’t do(for example, “Don’t talk to the stars”)”可知，座位填充员不能和明星说话。由此可知答案是否定的，故答案为No, they can’t.

【3】根据短文第三段“The show started at six o’clock.”可知，表演在六点开始。故答案为It started at six o’clock.

【4】根据短文第三段“The show was three hours long, and I only sat down five times.”可知，那天晚上Kathy坐了五次。故答案为Five times.

【5】根据短文第三段“In the end, I was really tired, but I was happy”可知，最后Kathy很累，但是她很开心。故答案为She was tired but happy.
