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.[2]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: 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 the American youths.
1. What is the woman doing?
2. Why did James Dean move back to Indiana when he was young?
3. What does the man say James Dean did at college in California?
4. What do we learn about James Dean from the conversation?

选项 A、He missed his aunt.
B、He lost his mother.
C、He had to attend school there.
D、He was unhappy in California.

答案 B

解析 节目嘉宾说Dean到加州四年后母亲去世了,他被父亲送回印第安纳州和姨妈同住。B是his mother passed away的同义转换,为正确答案。考点体现“语义重心”出题原则。逻辑关系词because往往是考点所在。A利用原词aunt制造干扰。C、D在对话中没有提到。
