Today we’ll talk about the movie star Marilyn Monroe. She died many years ago, yet still is one of the best known American women.
Her name at birth was Norma Jean Baker. Her life as a child was like a bad dream. She lived with a number of different people, and often was mistreated.
[16]At age sixteen Norma Jean married a sailor. But she soon ended that marriage. She changed her hair color from brown to shining gold. And she changed her name to Marilyn Monroe.
She wanted to be an actress. And she succeeded. She appeared in a number of Hollywood movies. Millions of people went to see them. By the time Norma Jean had reached the age of twenty-six, her beautiful face and body earned her a place as one of America’s leading movie stars.
But success and fame were not enough to make her happy. The troubles of her childhood days stayed with her. She drank too much alcohol. She took too many drugs. At the age of thirty-six, she took her own life.
She has been dead since nineteen sixty-two. [17]Still, her fame continues to grow.
People born long after she died are watching her movies on television. Objects that belonged to her bring huge prices at public sales. [17]The Warner Brothers museum in Hollywood has the white dress she wore in one of her movies, "The Prince and the Showgirl."
People continue to talk about what they feel is her strange death. Some people believe she was murdered. Two investigations showed that she died as the result of too many drugs.
Why is the public still so interested in a woman who died so many years ago? A number of reasons. Her exciting but tragic life. Her connections with well-known people. And her image as an especially desirable woman.
[18]In the nineteen fifties, many Americans believed sex was a very private subject. People often severely judged those who were sexually appealing.
Into this atmosphere burst Marilyn Monroe. As one critic said, her body was round in all the right places. She wore her clothes like skin. When she walked, she moved her lower body in a way that few other actresses had done. Her voice was soft and breathy. She soon became America’s golden girl.
16. What do we learn about Marilyn Monroe?
17. What shows her continuing fame after death?
18. What was people’s attitude towards sexy women in 1950s?
选项
A、Critical.
B、Prohibitive.
C、Indifferent.
D、Appreciative.
答案
A
解析
录音中提到,在19世纪50年代美国人认为性是一个很私人的话题,人们严厉批判那些穿着性感的人。因此本题选A项“批判的”。录音中的judged在这里是“批评”的意思,而不是通常意义上的“判断”,A项critical是judged的同义替换。
