Question

    Selena Gomez and I were scheduled to meet at a low-key coffee shop in Encino. Not wanting to keep the superstar waiting, I arrived at nine, 20 minutes early. As I was catching up on e-mails, Selena quietly scooted into the seat next to me. No bodyguard. Not even a drop of makeup. She was ten minutes early and so inconspicuous that no one else in the restaurant looked up so much. Selena was wearing Bebe shorts. She had a baby face and ordered a hot chocolate.

After making small talk about what she wore for the shoot, she dived into the subject of her career. Selena declared 2012 the year of movies. She filmed three: Spring Breakers, a drama; The Getaway, an action flick; and Hotel Transylvania, a comedy. Each is a marked move away from the teen style that made her a household name.

Now that her Disney days are behind her, Selena is at that unstable point in a child star's career where she is trying to grow up-both as a person (she turned 20 in July) and as an artist. “Being part of the Disney Channel was a blessing, and I'm super happy with what my show accomplished, but acting is something I would like to take on more seriously.” She continued, “I don't necessarily feel accomplished. I want to create a whole different persona when it comes to acting.”

Selena has been working full time since she was seven years old and scored a role on Barney & Friends. In 2007, when she was offered the lead in Wizards of Waverly Place, Selena, her mother, and her stepfather uprooted from Grand Prairie, Texas, to LA, where they are settling now.

【解析】

这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了，美国超级巨星Selena Gomez出演的一些电影及其个人相关信息。

1.

细节理解题。由第一段中的“Not wanting to keep the superstar waiting, I arrived at nine, 20 minutes early.”（我不想让这位超级巨星久等，所以我早9点20分钟就到了。）和“She was ten minutes early and so inconspicuous that no one else in the restaurant looked up so much.”（她早到了十分钟，而且很不起眼，以至于餐馆里没有人抬头看。）可知Selena是9:10到的。故选B项。

2.

词义猜测题。由第一段中的“She was ten minutes early and so inconspicuous that no one else in the restaurant looked up so much.”（她早到了十分钟，而且很不起眼，以至于餐馆里没有人抬头看。）餐馆里没有人抬头看，说明不起眼、不容易被看到，inconspicuous在此处意为“不容易被看到”。故选C项。

3.

推理判断题。由第二段中的“She filmed three: Spring Breakers, a drama; The Getaway, an action flick; and Hotel Transylvania, a comedy. Each is a marked move away from the teen style that made her a household name.”（她拍摄了三部电影：一部戏剧《春天的破坏者》；一部动作片《出走》；一部喜剧《特兰西瓦尼亚旅馆》。每一次都明显地远离了让她家喻户晓的青少年风格。）可推断出这三部电影中的每一部都标志着Selena摆脱了少女时代的风格。故选C项。

4.

细节理解题。由第三段中的“Being part of the Disney Channel was a blessing, and I'm super happy with what my show accomplished, but acting is something I would like to take on more seriously.”（成为迪士尼频道的一员是一件幸事，我对我的节目所取得的成就感到非常高兴，但表演是我更愿意认真对待的事情），可知她认为自己成为迪斯尼频道的一员是一件幸事。故选B项。
