11.James Dean was not very tall-he was less than average height.He had thick,light brown hair and blue eyes.He was so near-sighted that he could hardly see anything without his glasses.
He came to Hollywood when he was eighteen,hoping to get into the movies.At first,he was not successful at all,and for a time he was so short of money that he had to live entirely on dry oatmeal.Then he went to New York.He got a part in a play and was seen by the great director Elia Kazan.Kazan was planning the movie East of Eden and realized Dean would be perfect for one of the main roles.
By this time,Dean already had a reputation for being odd and difficult to work with.He then went back to Hollywood to make East of Eden and then made two more movies,Rebel Withhout a Cause and Giant.He almost always wore the same overcoat and jeans and he had hardly any friends at all."If he didn't like you,he wouldn't even give you the pleasure of his anger.You could be in the same telephone booth with him,but you wouldn't exist,"someone who knew him said later.
In spite of his poor eyesight,he loved driving fast motorcycles and even faster sports cars.A few days after he finished Giant,on September 25,1955,Dean went for a drive in his new Porsche.It was evening and the light was poor.Dean was not wearing his glasses.Suddenly,he saw a car in front of him.It was slowing down and trying to turn off the highway.Dean tried to slow down too,but it was  too late.He hit the car at high speed and was killed immediately.
Two German girls killed themselves when they heard the news because"life would be unbearable without him."A few years later,a New York salesclerk wrote a book called Jimmy Dean  Returns in which she claimed that she was in contact with Dean from the other side of the grave.Half  a million copies of the book were sold.It was only the beginning of a strange legend(传奇) that goes  on,even today.

分析 本文主要向我们讲述了演员詹姆斯迪恩的故事--他的个子不高,眼睛近视得很厉害,在十八岁的时候去到好莱坞希望能参演电影,再一次开车时他没有戴眼镜,来不及躲避迎面开来的车并与之相撞,因此失去生命,至今仍有很多人对他的故事感兴趣.

解答 26.D 细节理解题,由第二段At first,he was not successful at all,and for a time he was so short of money that he had to live entirely on dry oatmeal.可知他开始时根本不成功,是一个很穷的人,故选D.
27.B 细节理解题,由第二段Kazan was planning the movie East of Eden and realized Dean would be perfect for one of the main roles.可知他的成功是参演了 Elia Kazan的电影,故选B.
28.D 理解推断题,由第四段In spite of his poor eyesight,he loved driving fast motorcycles and even faster sports cars.可知他开车的速度非常快,非常疯狂,所以D正确;误解分析:由第三段He then went back to Hollywood to make East of Eden and then made two more movies可知他参演了另俩部电影,不是只有两部,所以A错;文中并没有提到他很害羞,所以B错;由第四段He hit the car at high speed and was killed immediately.他在路上与另一辆车相撞所以死亡,而不是自杀,所以C错;故选D.
29.A 细节推断题,由最后一段A few years later,a New York salesclerk wrote a book called Jimmy Dean  Returns in which she claimed that she was in contact with Dean from the other side of the grave.Half  a million copies of the book were sold.可知人们仍然对迪恩的故事感兴趣,故选A.
30.D 主旨大意题,本文主要向我们讲述了演员詹姆斯的人生经历,故选D.

点评 考点:本文考查学生的记叙类阅读的水平,需要学生认真阅读原文,通读全文,知晓文章大意,在理解文章后作答,做题时要细致,找到题中细节.

20.Marlon Brando is widely considered the greatest movie actor of all time.He was born in Omaha Nebraska in 1924.He was named after his father,a salesman.His mother,Dorothy,was an actress in the local theater.
Marlon Brando moved to New York City when he was 19 years old in 1943.He took acting classes at the New School for Social Research.One of his teachers was Stella Adler,who taught the"Method"style of realistic acting.The Method teaches actors how to use their own memories and emotions to identify with the characters they are playing.
Marlon Brando learned the Method style quickly and easily.Critics said he was probably the greatest Method actor ever.One famous actress commented on his natural ability for it.She said teaching Marlon Brando the Method was like sending a tiger to jungle school.
Marlon Brando appeared in several plays.He got his first major part in a Broadway play in 1947,at the age of 23.He received great praise for his powerful performance at Stanley Kowalski in Tennessee Williams'play,A Streetcar Named Desire.His fame grew when he acted the same part in the movie version,released in 1951.
Marlon Brando won the Best Actor Oscar for The God Father,but he rejected it.He sent a woman named Sasheen Littlefeather to speak for him at the Academy Awards ceremony.She said that Brando could not accept the award because of the way the American film industry treated Native Americans.The people at the Academy Awards ceremony did not like the speech.But some experts think the action helped change the way American Indians were shown in movies.
Marlon Brando acted in about forty movies.He was nominated for a total of eight Academy Awards.But he earned a"bad boy"reputation for his public outbursts and unusual behaviours.According to Los Angeles magazine,"Brando was rock and roll before anybody knew what rock and roll was".His later life was marked with family tragedies.His son Christian went to prison for killing his daughter Cheyene's boyfriend.Cheyene later committed suicide.Brando became lonely.He worked occasionally for the money.But,in his prime,Marlon Brando was an actor other actors could only hope to become.
