阅读下列短文，从每篇短文后所给各题的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

(A)

People fell in love with Elizabeth Taylor in 1944, when she starred in National Velve－the story of Velvet Brown, a young girl who wins first place in a famous horse race. At first, the producers of the movie told Taylor that she was too small to play the part of Velvet. However, they waited for her for a few months as she exercised and trained—and added three inches(英寸) to her height in four months! Her acting in National Velvet is still considered the best by a child actress.

Elizabeth Taylor was born in London in 1932. Her parents, both Americans, had moved there for business reasons. When World War II started, the Taylor moved to Beverly Hills, California, and there Elizabeth started acting in movies. After her success as a child star, Taylor had no trouble moving into adult(成人)roles and won twice for Best Actress: Butterfield 8(1960) and Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf ? (1966)

Taylor’ s fame(名声)and popularity gave her a lot of power with the movie industry, so she was able to demand very high pay for her movies. In 1963, she received $1 million for her part in Cleopatra—the highest pay received by any star up to that time.

Elizabeth Taylor is a legend (传奇人物) of our time. Like Velvet Brown in National Velvet, she has been lucky, she has beauty, fame and wealth. But she is also a hard worker. Taylor seldom acts in movies any more. Instead, she puts her time and efforts into her businesses, and into helping others —several years ago, she founded an organization that has raised more than $40 million for research and education.

36. The producers didn’t let Taylor play the part of Velvet at first because they thought she _____.

A. did not show much interest. B. was too young.

C. did not play well enough. D. was small in size.

37.What Elizabeth Taylor and Velvet Brown had in common was that they were both ?????????.

A. popular all their lives B. famous actresses

C. successful when very young? D. rich and kind-hearted

38.Taylor became Best Actress at the age of ?????????.

A. 12? B. 28 C. 31 D. 34

39.In her later life, Elizabeth Taylor devoted herself to ????????????.

A. doing business and helping others

B. turning herself into a legend

C. collecting money for the poor

D. going about research and education work

(B)

The nervous-looking young man had waited for a few moments outside the jeweler’s before he got enough courage to enter. He was warmly greeted by a young assistant. James felt a rush of blood to his face as he explained he would be bringing in his future wife to choose a birthday present.

The assistant listened carefully and told him he’d better buy a necklace. He wasn’t used to buying jewelry and was a little worried about overspending, because he was not very rich. After some discussion as to a reasonable price and the type, the assistant showed him dozens of necklaces and helped him to choose.

At last James chose one and left the shop promising to return at five o’clock. Half an hour later than planned, James did return to the shop with his future wife, Laura. The assistant acted as if she had never seen him before.
