17、分）来源:Zxxk.Com(A)Screen legend Elizabeth Taylor died today at the age of 79. She died of heart attack on March 23, 2011 with all her children around her at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, where she had been in hospital for about six weeks in Los Angeles. Taylor won three Oscars, including a special one

18、for her humanitarian(人道主义的) work. But she was pained by ill health, failed romances and personal tragedy. People fell in love with Elizabeth Taylor in 1944, when she starred in National Velvetthe story of Velvet Brown, a young girl who wins the first place in a famous horse race. At first, the produ

19、cers 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 trainedand added three inches to her height in four months. Her acting in National Velvet is still considered the best by a child actress. Elizabeth Tay

20、lor was born in London in 1932. Her parents, both Americans, had moved there for business reasons. When World War II started, the Taylors 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 roles

21、 and won twice for Best Actress: Butterfield 8 (1960) and Whos Afraid of Virginia Woolf ? (1966). Taylors fame 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 Cleopatrathe highest

22、 pay received by any star up to that time. Elizabeth Taylor is a legend 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. In a career of more than 70 years and more than 50 films, she was titled as the best actress

23、in the USA. In addition, she puts much time and effort into her businesses and into helping othersabout 30 years ago, she founded an organization that has raised more than $40 million for research and education. 36. The producers didnt let Taylor play the part of Velvet at first because they thought

24、 she _.A. was small in size B. was too young C. did not play well enough D. did not show much interest 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. In her

25、later life, Elizabeth 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 39. Whats the best title of this passage? A. Elizabeth Taylor, Lifelong Star, Dies at 79 B. Elizabeth Taylors d

26、eath C. Elizabeth Taylors romances and personal tragedy. D. Elizabeth Taylor helped a lot of people(B)After a very busy afternoon, as I walked into my house, I heard the phone ringing. It was my friend Lydia, upset over an argument with her husband. My usual approach is to offer advice, but this tim

27、e, exhausted from chores, I simply sat down in a chair and listened to my friends frustration and sadness. Without the disturbance of judgment or the desire to comfort her, I stayed totally quiet while she talked. Eventually Lydias depression eased and we said our goodbyes. The next day she phoned t

28、o thank me. “Im so grateful for the way you helped me through this,” she said. At first I was surprised. After all, I had done nothing except be there for her. But after I had my own venting(发泄的) experience with another friend later that evening, I realized that my focused silence had some value. In

29、 fact, most relationship experts agree that talking is cheap; its listening thats rare and valuable. It allows you not only to hear what the other person is saying, but also to have a clear understanding of her thoughts and feelings. And for the speaker, that level of understanding translates into c

30、oncern and respect. Unfortunately, listening isnt as easy as it sounds. Thanks to schedules filled with family and work, multitasking has become a barrier(障碍) to listening. My tiredness may have been the only thing stopping me from folding laundry or checking my e-mail while Lydia talked that aftern

31、oon. Another barrier to listening is our listening system: Most of us take in only about half of whats being said during a conversation, according to the International Listening Association. Research shows that we speak at 125 to 150 words per minute, yet think at 500 words a minute. Therefore, because we think much more quickly than
