16．When Leonardo DiCaprio stepped onto the stage to accept the Academy Award for Best Actor on Feb 28，his friend Kate Winslet watched him from the audience，her fingers crossed for luck，too emotional to hold back her tears．After five acting nominations and 22years of disappointed hopes since his first nomination （for What's Eating Gilbert Grape in 1993），the 41-year-old actor finally won his first Oscar for his all-out effort in the survival epic The Revenant（《荒野獵人》）．The film will hit Chinese cinemas on March 18．
DiCaprio's career took off when he played the romantic lead in Titanic （1997）．That blockbuster could have easily been the high point in any actor's filmography．Titanic defined DiCaprio as the dream lover for women all around the world．However，the film also gave him the reputation of being a"pretty boy"．People focused on his face more than his acting．They were even more curious about which supermodel he was dating off-screen．An article on Yahoo!movies analyzed the reasons why DiCaprio had never won an Oscar，saying，"Leo was touted（吹捧） as a heartthrob…Since the huge success of Titanic，he's had to work extra hard to choose difficult，less showy roles to escape from just being a pretty face．It's the same problem that Tom Cruise and Johnny Depp face．"
DiCaprio has a reputation for being one of the pickiest actors in Hollywood．Instead of winning hearts in romantic films or fattening his wallet with blockbuster franchises（特許權(quán)），he chose to work with more challenging productions．
For the role of Hugh Glass，an 1820s fur trapper（賣獸皮的獵人） in The Revenant，DiCaprio endured sub-zero temperatures for seven months．For over half the film's duration，he's crawling on the ground．An article in Life Week wrote，"Compared with DiCaprio's miserable experience in The Revenant，Robinson Crusoe's adventure seems as easy and comfortable as a vacation．"That dedication（獻身） was recognized by the Academy．Having finally earned the US'top acting award，the actor is now turning to different pursuits，like producing films．

解答 21．B，細節(jié)理解題，根據(jù)后面句子描述After five acting nominations and 22years of disappointed hopes since his first nomination （for What's Eating Gilbert Grape in 1993），the 41-year-old actor finally won his first Oscar for his all-out effort in the survival epic The Revenant（《荒野獵人》）．41歲的演員 Leonardo DiCaprio終于獲得了奧斯卡獎，可知他的朋友Kate Winslet手指交叉是因為興奮，故答案為B．
22．C，詞義猜測題，根據(jù)前面提到the film also gave him the reputation of being a"pretty boy"．People focused on his face more than his acting，泰坦尼克號這部電影讓Leonardo DiCaprio帶上了"美男子"這個稱號，可以推測該詞的意思就是"帥氣迷人的男子"，故答案為C．
23．D，主旨大意題，短文主要講了Leonardo DiCaprio經(jīng)過這么多年的努力，終于獲得了奧斯卡獎，故答案為D．
