[解析] W: Good evening and welcome to tonight’s edition of Legendary Lives. Our subject this evening is James Dean, actor and hero for the young people of his time. Edward Murray is the author of a new biography of Dean. Good evening, Edward. M: Hello Tina. W: Edward, tell us what you know about Dean’s early life. M: He was born in Indiana in 1931, but his parents moved to California when he was five. He wasn’t there long though because his mother passed away just four years later. Jimmy’s father sent him back to Indiana after that to live with his aunt. W: So how did he get into acting M: Well, first he acted in plays at high school, then he went to college in California where he got seriously into acting. In 1951 he moved to New York to do more stage acting. W: Then when did his movie career really start M: In 1955. His first starring role was in East of Eden. It was fabulous. Dean became a huge success. But the movie that really made him famous was his second one, Rebel Without a Cause, that was about teenagers who felt like they didn’t fit into society. W: So how many more movies did he make M: Just one more, then he died in that car crash in California in 1955. W: What a tragedy! He only made three movies! SO what made him the legend — he still is today M: Well I guess his looks, his acting ability, his short life, and maybe the type of character he played in his movies. Many young people saw him as a symbol of American youths. 本题推断的依据是第一个话轮中女士的话：Good evening and welcome to tonight’s edition of Legendary Lives(晚上好，欢迎来到今晚的《传奇人生》节目)，紧跟着她又提到了subject(话题)，由此即可推知她是在主持电视节目(Hosting a television show)，因此正确答案是[C]。其余三项中，[A]指“采访电影明星”，但女士明确指出男士是传记作者；[B]项指“讨论青少年的榜样”，[D]项指“评论一本新的传记”，都属于抓住原文的词汇设置的干扰项。 document.getElementById("warp").style.display="none"; document.getElementById("content").style.display="block"; 查看试题解析出处>>
