Ⅱ.阅读理解

A

In 1947 a group of famous people from the art world  headed by an Austrian conductor decided to hold an international festival of music，dance and theatre in Edinburgh.The idea was to reunite Europe after the Second World War.

It quickly attracted famous names such as Alec Guinness，Richard Burton，Dame Margot Fonteyn and Marlene Dietrich as well as the big symphony orchestras (交响乐团)．It became a fixed event every August and now attracts 400，000 people yearly.

At the same time，the “Fringe” appeared as a challenge to the official festival.Eight theatre groups turned up uninvited in 1947，in the belief that everyone should have the right to perform，and they did so in a public house disused for years.

Soon，groups of students firstly from Edinburgh University，and later from the universities of Oxford and Cambridge，Durham and Birmingham were making the journey to the Scottish capital each summer to perform theatre by little­known writers of plays in small church halls to the people of Edinburgh.

Today the “Fringe”，once less recognized，has far outgrown the festival with around 1，500 performances of theatre，music and dance on every one of the 21 days it lasts.And yet as early as 1959，with only 19 theatre groups performing，some said it was getting too big.

A paid administrator was first employed only in 1971，and today there are eight administrators working all year round and the number rises to 150 during August itself.In 2004 there were 200 places housing 1，695 shows by over 600 different groups from 50 different countries.More than 1.25 million tickets were sold.

【语篇解读】　这是一篇记叙文。1947年一群艺术界的著名艺术家在一位奥地利指挥家的带领下，决定在爱丁堡举办国际艺术节来使整个欧洲在二战后再团结起来。没想到这个艺术节得到了许多人的青睐，并迅速发展。

Thomas Brodie­Sangster's cars and action figures weren't just toys.“They would always be characters, and I would always put on stupid voices，”says Thomas (Born on 16 May 1990). For him, acting was just a matter of moving childhood games to a set.

Maturity and independence came to Thomas early as he started work at ten. After his first audition (试镜), he learned about  rejection. Though hurt and disappointed，he took a part in a tiny, unknown TV film in 2001. No one noticed his performance—no one except screenwriter Richard Curtis. Two years later, he played Sam, a twelve­year­old in love in Curtis's Love Actually. After that hit film, he played actor Colin Firth's son in Nanny McPhee.Firth then joined a film called The Last Legion and supported Thomas for its lead role. As a result, the boy played Rome's final ruler in the action­adventure.

At about 16, Thomas had to make a decision. Did he really want to devote his life to acting? Many people in the public “aren't letting you be you because they see you as something special”， he says. Also, friendship made during filming was often broken soon after the project finished. Despite these things, he found enough joy and satisfaction in the work to continue. Actually, Thomas seems to find joy in difficulty itself. He played 10­year­old Adolf Hitler in a TV movie and a teenage Paul McCartney in Nowhere Boy. The subject of his film Death of a Superhero made it his most challenging film. Still, he found a positive message in its story of a schoolboy with cancer.

Thomas now enjoys roles in Game of Thrones and the upcoming Maze Runner films.Popular as those projects may be, most still recognize him as Sam in Love Actually.Sam seems to run after Thomas,  just as he ran through Heathrow airport to his sweetheart.

5．Thomas Brodie­Sangster reached maturity early probably because of________．

A．his failure in the first audition

B．his starting acting as early as ten

C．his being supported by adult actors

D．his acting in a tiny unknown TV film

【解析】　细节理解题。根据文章第二段的第一句Maturity and independence came to Thomas early as he started work at ten可知他从十岁开始表演。故选B。

7．What can be considered as one of the negative aspects of acting according to Thomas?

A．Pressure from the public.

B．Long­term working friendship.

C．Finding joy in difficulty itself.

D．Reading scripts and memorizing lines.

【解析】　推理判断题。通读文章的第三段可知B、C、D都是Thomas走向成功的积极因素；根据该段的Many people in the public“aren't letting you be you because they see you as something special”可知来自公众的压力是他走向成功的消极因素。故选A。
