Answer 1

报纸文艺版的摘抄。

73．A

解析：考生根据细节进行推理判断的能力

根据文中第一段“Cannes will rock to the sound……”可知题干中的Henri de Toulouse-lautrec不是a dancer，故排除B。又据第二句"The musical stars Nicole Kidman as a singer”可知题干中的Henri de Toulouse-lautrec不是a singer，所以C排除，又据文中“It will be competing for the Palme d’Or，the festival’s top prize”，可知它将竞争这个奖，但还没有实现，所以D也不对。B、C、D都已被排除，故A为正确答案。

此题还可根据Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec作artist的同位语可知，他们都是指的一部影片中的人物，所以A为正确答案。

74．B

解析：考生对细节内容的把握情况

文中并未提及已获得奖项，故排除A。文中第四段第二句说Enrico joins eight other people who act as goodwill envoys，可知8+1=9个人为envoys，故排除C。文中第二段

提到Fred Biery，a U. S．District Judge并未提他是Tommy的assistant，故排除D。文

中第三段提到”Loretta Lynn is being treated……”以及“the doctors are watching her

closely”可知B为正确答案。

75．C

解析：考生根据文中具体信息进行推理判断的能力

文中三、四段所谈都是歌星，而a book on film stars只指film star，不包括歌星，所以A项不对。同样，B项也只谈及了film，也应排除。而notice一般是指通知、告示、或对新书、戏剧等的短评，所以也排除D。文中所选四段分别介绍了电影演员、歌星的一些情况。所以推测此篇很可能出现在报纸的文艺版上，所以C为正确答案。
