B

Prison Break is a huge hit thanks to its handsome star, Wentworth Miller. His character, Michael Scofield, is the engine that drives the show.

Having committed a crime to get into prison and break out with his innocent brother, Michael Scofield is one of the most interesting personalities on TV today. But what about the man behind the character?

Miller,35, is a hard guy to figure out. He does not come from a normal background and has never lived his life in a typical way.

Miller didn’t take direct path to fame and fortune. He graduated from Princeton University in 1995, not with a degree in theatre of film, but in English. He didn’t even act when he was in college. His only performance experience was in his university’s singing group. Yet , at graduation Miller still decided to make the move to Hollywood.

Miller has always been different. Although he is American, he was in Britain when his father was studying there. His family background is also a special mix of cultures. “My father is black and my mother is white. That means I have always been caught in the middle. I could be either one, which can make you feel out of place,” Miller says.

Following his unusual path, Miller did not start trying out for films and TV shows when he first went to Hollywood. Instead, he worked as a lowly production assistant. Not what you would expect from a Princeton graduate. However, it all paid off for Miller in the end. 

In 2002, Miller played a role in the drama Dinotopia（《恐龍帝國》）. He starred as a thoughtful and shy man. Producers remembered his performance when they were casting Prison Break two years later. With a golden globe nomination（提名）and another season of Prison Break on his resume, Miller seems ready to take over all of Hollywood. 

1．What does the passage mainly talk about?

A．Michael Scofield in Prison Break .

B．Hollywood’s recent big hit—Prison Break.

C．Miller’s unusual path to fame and fortune.

D．The man who will take over all of the world.

A．it’s difficult to tell him from others

B．he is a shy man and hard to cooperate with

C．he always has ideas hard for people to understand

D．his family background and life experience are very special

3．Which of the following statements is put in the right order?

a．Miller did not act in any of the films or TV shows in Hollywood.

b．Miller worked as a lowly production assistant.

c．Miller played a role in the drama Dinotopia.

d．Miller joined in his university’s singing group.

A．d－a－b－c     B．a(chǎn)－b－c－d     C．b－a－c－d   D．d－c－b－a

4．Which is the closest in meaning to the underlined sentence “it all paid off for Miller in the end”?

A．Miller put a lot of extra work for his final success.

B．Miller gained fame and fortune at last with his first film.

C．Miller finally succeeded even if he has been in low position.

D．Miller managed to pay off his debts with his small income in the end.

A．He is chosen to play the Michael Scofield due to his interesting personality.

B．His performance in Dinotopia makes some contributions to his success.

C．He has the same experience with the character Michael Scofield.

第三部分：閱讀理解 （共20小題，每題2分，滿分40分）

第一節(jié)：(共15小題，滿分30分)

Police in the Russian city of St. Petersburg were today searching for a rare missing leopard which was stolen yesterday when thieves attacked a TV producer and drove off in his luxury Mercedes 4×4.

The amur leopard, which was in the boot, is one of the world’s most highly endangered species, with fewer than 45 left in the wild in Russia’s remote far east. About 300 others are captive in zoos around the world.

According to its owner, Mikhail Barakin, the thieves were wearing masks. They attacked him and his driver, throwing both of them out of the vehicle, shortly after they drove to St. Petersburg with leopard from Moscow.

“She’s a female leopard cub and she’s incredibly tame,” Barakin told the Guardian this morning. “She’s just over a month old. The leopard was brought up in captivity.”

He went on, “We had been driving all night with the leopard in a travel cage. The plan was to take her to the vet. My driver and I were in the process of setting the leopard in the trunk of my Mercedes…when three masked assailants attacked us. They managed to get away with the car. My suspicion is the theft was done to order.”

Barakin said the leopard, a present from a Moscow businessman, was far more valuable than the stolen Mercedes. He has offered a ￡85,400 reward for its safe return, and says he is prepared to drop all charges if the thieves bring the animal back.

The leopard was to have been housed in a purpose-built enclosure on a country estate outside St. Petersburg, he added. Barakin said he had hired a specialist to look after it, and was planning to use the cub in TV commercials.

36. We can infer from the passage that the three assailants ______.

A. probably came for the leopard                                             B. would return the leopard safely

C. didn’t know there was a leopard in the car                      D. were known to Mikhail Barakin

37. The leopard was believed to be more valuable because ______.

A. it was already tamed                                                        B. it could be kept as a pet

C. it would be used in TV commercials                             D. it was an endangered species

38. Mikhail Barakin drove the leopard to ______.

A. put her in a bigger place                                                  B. use it in TV commercials

C. put her in better care                                                       D. keep her in the zoo

39. If the thieves brought the leopard back, Mikhail Barakin would ______.

A. send them to prison                                                          B. give them a reward

C. give them the car as a reward                                       D. not charge them

40. The underlined word “boot” in Paragraph 2 probably refers to ______.

A. a special cage                                                                     B. a type of shoe

C. the trunk of a car                                                               D. a kind of camera
