even before she was 14. 答案解析：答案为c。本题为细节推理题。由第二段 “when she was 14, some people from a film studio came to her school and chose her to study at the studio”可知，a错误；由 “but mainly she liked the idea of getting out of school”可以推断，她不喜欢呆在学校, 故b选项不正确，c选项正确；由 “soon, however she discovered that she really liked acting.” 可知，d选项错误。2. when did she move to the states?a. in the late 1970s. b. after she graduated from college.c. in the late 1980s. d. in the early 1980s.答案解析：答案为d。本题为数字计算题。由第三段的第一、二句 “in the late 1970s, joans parents, who were doctors, moved to the united states. joan joined them when she was 20 and went to college there.”可以推断，1961年出生的joan chen，20岁去美国上大学，此时应该是1981年，故答案为d。3. the interview with a director _.a. made her on the way to being famous in the worldb. led to no immediate good resultc. made her play a leading part in tai - pand. gave her a chance to act in the last emperor答案解析：答案为b。本题为推断题。从最后一段 “the interview didnt go well.” 可知， c选项不正确；由 “he immediately offered her a leading part. a year later, she started in bernardo bertoluccis the last emperor and was on her way to worldwide fame.”可知，joan chen出演主角是在一年后，并开始走向世界范围内的成功之路，故a，d不正确；答案为b ，参加director的面试并没立刻产生好的效果。【2015高考复习】完形填空it was the old ladys birthday.she got up early to be ready for the post.from the second floor flat she could see the postman when he came down the street，and a
