答案全解全析

I.◎语篇解读本文为记叙文，主题语境是人与自我,主题语境内容是丰富自我。文章介绍了莱

斯利・尼尔森的演艺生涯，他追逐梦想，不懈努力，一生取得了卓越的成就。

1.C细节理解题。根据题干中的“wanttobeanactor”将答案区域锁定在第一段。本题题干意为:

为什么尼尔森想成为一个演员？根据第一段第一、二句”...hehadoneparticularshiningstarinhis

life-hisuncle,whowasawell-knownactor.Theadmirationandrespecthisuncleearnedinspired

Nielsentomakeacareerinacting.”可知他叔叔是个非常有名的演员,别人对叔叔的钦佩和尊敬激

励他走上演艺道路。inspiresb.todosth.激励某人做某事。

2.D细节理解题。本题题干意为：我们对尼尔森的职业生涯的后半阶段了解多少？根据第二

段中最后一句话"Thatmovieledhimintothesecondhalfofhiscareerwherehiscomedicpresence

alonecouldmakeamovieafinancialsuccessevenwhenmoviereviewerswouldnotrateithighly/'

可知喜剧电影A"p/a〃e/使他进入了职业生涯的后半阶段,在他后半阶段的职业生涯中，仅他自己

的喜剧表演就可以使一部电影获得财务上的成功。在审题中注意题干中的“inthesecondhalfof

hiscareer”确定了职业时间点,能迅速找出要点位置所在。make...asuccess使...成功。

3.D推理判断题。本题题干意为:尼尔森职业生涯的故事告诉我们什么？根据第一段中“Even

thoughheoftenfelthewouldbediscoveredtobeano-talent,hemovedforward”,第三段最后一句

“Heneverstoppedworking,neverretired.”以及最后一段中“Hebuiltahugelysuccessfulcareer

withlittlemorethanplainoldhardworkanddetermination.Heshowedusthatevenasingledesire,

nevergivenupon,canmakeforaremarkablelife.”可知由于他的努力和为目标持之以恒奋斗的

精神，他取得了巨大的成功,D选项“有志者,事竟成”与之匹配。

长难句

原句Thatmovieledhimintothesecondhalfofhiscareerwherehiscomedicpresencealonecould

makeamovieafinancialsuccessevenwhenmoviereviewerswouldnotrateithighly.

分析这是一个主从复合句。主干是Thatmovieledhimintothesecondhalfofhiscareer。where

引导定语从句，修饰先行词thesecondhalfofhiscareer,关系副词where在从句中作状语,when引

导的从句在定语从句中作状语。

译文那部影片引领他进入了他的职业生涯的后半阶段，在他后半阶段的职业生涯中，他自己的

喜剧表演就可以使一部电影获得财务上的成功,即使影评人不会给它很高的评价。

很简单了解role的意思是解答本题的关键,role除了“角色”的意思外，还有“任务、作用、职

能'’的意思。

应选择D项。
