Chris Columbus who wanted to find a young British actor to act as Harry Potter. Director Columbus had seen David Copperfield and thought Dan could act well. But Dan's parents didn't agree. Columbus called Dan's parents to persuade them to change their minds, and at last they allowed Dan to act in the film. "When my dad told me I'd got the part of Harry Potter, I cried. I even woke up in the middle of the night, around half past two, and I woke up my dad too, just to check with him that it wasn't a dream," said Dan. When Porter’s author Joanne (JK) Rowling saw him, she said happily, "I don't think Chris Columbus could have found a better Harry…"

解析:

文章介紹了哈利·波特的扮演者Daniel Jacob Radcliffe的成名歷程：從在學(xué)校扮演小角色到最終被導(dǎo)演選中扮演哈利·波特。

60. B  細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由文章第一段“…playing a part of monkey in a school”可知他只是扮演了monkey的角色，而不是和猴子玩，故A項是錯誤的；根據(jù)文章第一段的“Dan became interested in acting”可知他非常喜歡表演，所以B項正確；而該段第三句表明他錯失了Oliver Twist中的角色，則C、D兩項不正確。故選B。

61. D  細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由文章第二段中Dan自己的講述可知，他在半夜醒來后還要向他父親證實(shí)一下是否在做夢，可知他很高興。故選D。

62. A  細(xì)節(jié)理解題。從文中“…she said happily”可知她是非常同意Dan飾演哈利·波特的，故她認(rèn)為處理他導(dǎo)演找不到更好的人了，也就是說他是最佳人選。故選A。

63. D  細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由文章第一段第一句可知他出生于1989年；從文章第三段的“It came out in November 2001”可知該電影與2001年發(fā)行；兩個數(shù)字相減可知他是12歲。故選D。

64. C  推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章第三段的第二句可知該電影僅次與Titanic，故A項說法不對；根據(jù)最后一段第一句可知他的財產(chǎn)比Prince Harry 和 Charlotte Church要少，故B錯誤；根據(jù)文章第三段的最后兩句可知他不但是個好演員而且心地善良；而Dan除了哈利·波特四部曲還演過David Cupperfield，則D項錯誤。故選C。

科目：高中英語 來源： 題型：閱讀理解

More than one hundred thousand international students will spend this summer working and traveling in the United States. They are joining in the Summer Work Travel program through the State Department, a US government department that deals with anything connected with foreign countries. The idea is for students to work for up to three months and earn enough money to then spend a month traveling before they return home.

The Summer Work Travel program was started years ago. This year there are some changes. The State Department recently amended the employment rules. These changes follow a strike last summer by foreign students working for Hershey's chocolates in Palmyra, Pennsylvania.

The students said they were put to work for long hours in jobs that provided little or no contact with the outside world. The students complained about having to lift heavy boxes and to work overnight. They also complained about being paid so little money because part of the money they made had to go to the people who helped them to join in the Summer Work Travel program.

Now, the State Department doesn't allow the use of Summer Work Travel students in those workplaces where students have to carry heavy boxes, such as packaging plants. Also, most of their working hours cannot fall between ten at night and six in the morning. The students are also not allowed to work in workplaces that the government believes unsafe.

Daniel Costa at the Economic Policy Institute Washington welcomed the changes. He said, "That is good because it will protect the real foreign workers from getting hurt on the job. It' also protects US workers, many of whom don't have jobs."

Jacob Horwia is lead organizer for the National Guestworker Alliance, the group that organized the strike in Palmyra. "The changes to the employment rules really recognize the demands that the students asked for," he said, "and they can protect local workers who work in industries that use guest workers and also protect those foreign students." He also believed these changes will help return the program to its purpose as a cultural exchange program.

69. Which of the following is TRUE according to the text?

B. Foreign students cannot work in the places where their parents believe unsafe.

C. Daniel Costa thinks foreign students shouldn't do the same jobs as US workers.
