Ⅲ. 阅读理解
The Hurt Locker won the top two prizes at Sunday's Academy Awards, taking home the best picture trophy (奖品) and the best director honor for Kathryn Bigelow. Bigelow is the first woman in the 82－year history of the Oscars to earn Hollywood's top prize for filmmakers.
Bigelow's film, which also won the best picture, follows the dangerous daily existence of an Army bomb defusal team (拆弹部队). It earned six Oscars, including one for Mark Boal's original screenplay, based on his time as a journalist with such a unit.
Bigelow was the fourth woman nominated (提名) for the prize, following Sofia Coppola for 2003's Lost in Translation, Jane Campion for 1993's The Pain and Lina Wertmuller for 1975's Seven Beauties. Bigelow was the front－runner heading into the Academy Awards.
Barbra Streisand, director of films including Yent and The Prince of Ticles, walked out on stage to present the prize.
“Well, the time has come，” Streisand said before announcing Bigelow's win.
Among those Bigelow and The Hurt Locker beat are ex－husband James Cameron and his sci－fi movie, Avatar Bigelow and Cameron were married from 1989 to 1991.
The four main acting Oscars were handed out as most had predicted, all to first－time winners.
Sandra Bullock won the best actress for her role as a tough－talking Southern belle in The Blind Side and Jeff Bridges won the best actor award for his role as past－his－prime country singer Bad Blake in Crazy Heart.
The Oscar marks a career (事业) peak for Bridges, a beloved Hollywood veteran who had been nominated four times in the previous 38 years without winning.
1．What does the news story mainly tell us?
A．Bigelow is the best director in the world.
B．The Hurt Locker won six Oscars.
C．Bigelow was regarded as the best actress.
D．The dangerous situation soldiers are facing.
【答案与解析】 B 根据“The Hurt Locker won the top two prizes”和“It earned six Oscars”可知，文章主要讲述了《拆弹部队》获得了六项奥斯卡大奖。
2．From the second paragraph we know that Mark Boal used to be ________.
A．a soldier
B．a writer
C．a reporter
D．an actor
【答案与解析】 C 根据“including one for Mark Boal's original screenplay, based on his time as a journalist with such a unit”可知，Mark Boal曾是个记者。
3．Who is the first woman nominated for best director?
A．Bigelow.
B．Sofia Coppola.
C．Lina Wertmuller.
D．Jane Campion.
【答案与解析】 C 根据“Lina Wertmuller for 1975's ”可知，她是第一个被提名的。
4．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A．Streisand presented Bigelow the prize.
B．Avatar was directed by Bigelow's husband.
C．Streisand once played in the film The Prince of Ticles.
D．Three women have won the prize besides Bigelow.
【答案与解析】 A 根据“Barbra Streisand, director of films including Yent 1 and The Prince of Ticles walked out on stage to present the prize.”可知是Streisand给Bigelow颁的奖。
5．The four actors / actresses who won the acting Oscars ________.
A．are quite beyond people's expectation
B．have never won Oscars before
C．all had been nominated many times
D．had acted in the same film
【答案与解析】 B 根据“The four main acting Oscars were handed out as most had predicted, all to first－time winners”可知，这四个演员都没获过奥斯卡奖。

When it was my turn, I felt too shy that I didn't dare to say anything before the class. She went up to me and said kind, “Don't be afraid, I believe you can do well.” At last, I went to the blackboard. She praised me for that I had done.
