We should never give up when we've challenged.The following three actresses have set a good example to us.
Sarah Jessica Parker
When Parker was little，she had to take up singing and dancing to help feed her big family.
Despite hard times，Parker's mom encouraged her children's interest in the arts.When Parker was 11 years old，the family took a trip to New York City，so Parker could audition（試演） for a Broadway play.The trip was a success- she and her brother were both cast，and then the family moved to New York.Parker continued to work hard and land roles，eventually becoming the title character of a famous TV show.
Emily Blunt
Before Blunt was nominated（提名） for Golden Globes and landing leading roles on the stage and big screen，she could hardly hold a conversation with her classmates：Between ages7 and 14，Emily had a major stutter（口吃）.But that all changed when one of her junior high teachers encouraged her to try out for the school play，which she thought was a totally unappealing（無吸引力的） thing at first due to the fact that she had such a hard time communicating.The teacher suggested she try accents and character voices to help get the words out and it worked.By the end of her teens，Blunt had overcome her stutter and went on to achieve the successful career she has now.
Shania Twain
Twain's career actually began more out of necessity than raw ambition.Her mom and stepfather often couldn't make enough to get by，so Twain started singing in bars to make extra money when she was just eight years old.She recalls her mother waking her up at all hours to get up and perform.Sadly，when she was 21，her mother and stepfather were killed in a car accident on the highway.
Twain put her career on hold to step in and take care of her younger brothers.Only when her youngest brother graduated from high school did she feel it was OK to head down to Nashville to pursue her career.
（1）Why did Parker's family go to New York City when she was 11？ DD
A．Because a TV show was waiting for Parker.
B．Because Parker planned to learn the arts there.
C．Because Parker's family wanted to travel there.

（2）What was her first reaction when Blunt was advised to try out for the school play？ BB

1．For several days Ⅰ（Jane Eyre） saw little of Mr.Rochester.One evening，I was invited to talk to him after dinner.There was a smile on his lips，and his eyes were shining brightly.As I was looking at him，he suddenly turned around and asked me， "Do you think I'm handsome，Miss Eyre？"
The answer somehow slipped from my tongue before I realized it： "No，sir."
"Ah，you are really unusual!You look like a quiet，serious little person，but you can be almost rude."
"Sir，I'm sorry.I shouldn't have given an immediate answer to such a question about appearances；I should have said that beauty doesn't matter，or something like that."
"No，you shouldn't!I see，you criticize my appearance，and then you stick a sly penknife under my ear!You have honesty and feeling.There are not many girls like you.Perhaps you have awful faults to counterbalance（抵消） your few good points."
I thought to myself that he might have too.He seemed to read my mind，and said quickly， "Yes，you're right.I have plenty of faults.I went the wrong way when I was twenty-one，and have never found the right path again.I might have been as good as you，and perhaps wiser.I am not a bad man，take my word for it，but I have done wrong.It wasn't my character，but circumstances that were to blame.Why do I tell you all this？Because you're the sort of person people tell their problems and secrets to，because you're sympathetic and you give them hope."
"Don't be afraid of me，Miss Eyre，" he continued." You don't relax or laugh very much，perhaps because of the effect Lowood has had on you.But in time you will be more natural when you're with me，and laugh，and speak freely.You're like a bird in a cage.When you get out of the cage，you'll fly very high.Good night."
（1）Why did Mr.Rochester say "and then you stick a sly penknife under my ear" in paragraph 5？
A．Because Jane had offered some unnecessary explanations.
B．Because Jane had intended to be more critical.
C．Because Jane had regretted having talked to him.
D．Because Jane had intended to kill him with a knife.
（2）From what Mr.Rochester told Miss Eyre，we can conclude that he wanted to.
A．tell her all his troubles
B．tell her his life experience
C．change her opinion of him
D．change his circumstances
（3）Mr.Rochester soundedat the end of the passage.

3．To me，life without music would not be exciting．I realize that this is not true for everybody．Many people get along quite well without going to the concert，and listening to the record．But music plays an important part in everyone's life，whether he realizes it or not．Try to imagine，for example，what films or TV plays would be like without music．Would the feelings，the moving plot，and the greatest interests，be so exciting or dramatic？I'm not sure about it．
Now，we have been speaking of music in its more common meaning----the kind of music we hear in the concert hall．But if we look at some parts of music more closely，we discover them in our everyday life too----in the rhythm of the sea，the melody of a bird in the woods and so on．So music surely has meaning for everyone，in some way or other．And，of course，it has special meaning for those who have spent all their lives working on playing or writing music．
It is well said， "Through music a child enters into a world of beauty，expresses himself from his heart，feels the joy of doing things alone，learns to take care of others，develops his mind and makes his body strong．"
（1）What does the writer say more about in the text？
A．Life full of music．
B．The importance of music．
C．Life without music．
D．The development of music．
（2）From the text，we learn that many people．
A．go to the concert instead of enjoying music
B．get along quite well without music
C．don't realize the importance of music
D．think music would be less exciting than films
（3）What does the underlined word "melody" mean in the text？
A．flying
B．living
C．looking
D．singing
（4）From the last paragraph，we learn that music．
A．is very necessary for our everyday life
B．is very important，especially for children
C．can make our life exciting and dramatic
D．can enter another beautiful world發(fā)布：2025/1/1 18:0:1組卷：6引用：3難度：0.6
