Ⅳ. 阅读理解

Prison Break (《越狱》) is a huge hit thanks to its handsome star, Wentworth Miller. His character, Michael Scofield, is the engine that drives the show.
Having committed a crime to get into prison and break out his innocent older brother, Michael Scofield is one of the most interesting personalities on television today. But what about the man behind the character?
Miller, 35, is a hard guy to figure out. He does not come from a normal background and has never lived his life in a typical way.
Miller didn't take a direct path to fame and fortune. He graduated from Princeton University (美国普林斯顿大学) in 1995, not with a degree in theatre or film, but in English. He didn't even act when he was in college. His only performance experience was in his university's singing group. Yet, at graduation Miller still decided to make the move to Hollywood.
Miller has always been different. Although he is American, he was born in Britain when his father was studying there. His family background is also a special mix of cultures. "My father is black and my mother is white. That means I have always been caught in the middle. I could be either one, which can make you feel out of place," Miller says.
Following his unusual path, Miller did not start trying out for films and TV shows when he first got to Hollywood. Instead, he worked as a lowly production assistant. Not what you would expect from a Princeton graduate. However, it all paid off for Miller in the end.
In 2002, Miller played a role in the drama Dinotopia (《恐龙帝国》). He starred as a thoughtful and shy man. Producers remembered his performance when they were casting Prison Break two years later. With a golden globe nomination (提名) and another season of Prison Break on his resume (履历), Miller seems ready to take over all of Hollywood.
1. What do you think the text is mainly about?
A. why Fox's Prison Break became a huge hit.
B. What kind person Michael Scofield is.
C. how special Miller is in the entertainment field.
D. Miller's unusual path to fame and fortune
2. The author thinks "Miller is a hard guy to figure out" because____.
A. Miller is an unfriendly man to cooper-ate with.
B. He is of a special family background.
C. He has a different life experience from the others.
D. both B & C
3. What's the closest meaning of the sentence "it all paid off for Miller in the end" ?
A. Miller got a lot of money and gained his reputation at last.
B. Miller put a lot of effort for his final success.
C. Miller finally succeeded even though he has been in low position.
D. Miller had to pay a lot of money for his graduation.
4. Which of the following statement is true?
A. Miller had lot of movie performance experiences when he was in college.
B. Miller succeeded in the field that he has never majored in.
C. Miller was chosen to play a role in Prison Break because he is a thoughtful and shy guy.
D. Miller sometimes felt out of place because his parents are from different races.

Ⅳ阅读理解
The eastern Indonesian island Komodo is proving a hit with adventurous tourists eager to have a look at the world’s largest lizard（蜥蜴）species（种类）. The island is the home of the huge lizard called the Komodo dragon.
A later species of the Jurassic（侏罗纪）period dinosaurs 130 million years ago, the Komodo dragon is in danger and has been placed under protection by the Indonesian government.
The local people who show great respect for the species call the huge lizard “Buaya Darat”. Tales handed down over generations of islanders speak of the dragon warning people of getting close to this kind of animal.
The animal can reach a length of three meters when fully grown, gain a weight of about 135 kilograms and may live to an age of about 100 years. It digs a hole in the ground as deep as 9 meters and lay eggs – up to 30 at a time – that hatch in April or May. The newly hatched lizards, about 45 centimeters long, live in trees for several months.
Komodo dragon has been known to eat smaller members of the species and sometimes even other grown – ups. The Komodo dragon was first discovered in 1912 by a group of fishermen who protected themselves from a storm in the Banda Sea on the island.
Various species of the Komodo dragon are also found in Asia, Australia and Africa, but it is only on Komodo and western tip of the neighboring Island of Flores that they grow up to three meters long.
