Daniel Jacob Radcliffe was born on 23rd July 1989 in London. From the age of five, Dan became interested in acting, although his early experience was just playing a part of monkey in a school. He had missed a part in a TV play based on Charles Dickens' Oliver Twist because his parents didn't think it would be a very good idea to act. But he played a role in David Cupperfield.

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.

Answer 1

60-64BDADC

解析:

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

60. B  細節(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一下是否在做夢，可知他很高興。故選D。

62. A  細節(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，故她認為處理他導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。
