23、The past few years found me working long hours at my marketing job while my husband, Steven,put in equally fall days as a physics tutor.The weekends were spent photographing weddings and portraits.While we were able to save some money,we were both burned out from the constant tiring work.

We felt the need for both renewal and vacation experiences.So,in January,we set out on a seven-month,cross-country road trip to visit all 61 National Parks in the United States.

Steven was ready to dive headlong into the unknown,while I,someone who enjoys more planned fun,had to adapt.I was amazed at how easily I turned to be a more relaxed version who wasn't worried where to park or sleep.We both became so accustomed to sleeping in the van,despite the foreign sound outside,which we eventually let fade into white noise.

Over the course of our seven-month trip,several interruptions changed our route, including the government shutdown,which left the first 10 parks inaccessible. Another time,I fell ill and lost my voice right as we were heading to the Virgin Islands National Park.

Positively,while we've done photography professionally for years.this trip really helped us grow in our craft.From rapidly trying to shoot dolphins to lining up panoramic(全景的））shots,this trip was a photographer's dream.I never dared out into complete darkness to photograph nights capes,but the views of the Milky Way we managed to shoot were well worth it.

One of our big goals on this trip was to come away from each park with one spectacular image,something that pushed us both to become better artists in the process.That shared goal placed us on the same team:It brought us together,gave us more to talk about,and encouraged us to motivate each other along the way.

【1】Why did the couple take such a trip?

A．They were both out of work.

B．They needed some photos of parks.

C．They wanted a getaway from exhausting work.

D．They wanted to make money by photographing.

【2】What surprised the author on the trip?

A．The trip was full of unexpected difficulties.

B．The trip was nothing like her planned fun.

C．She enjoyed his husband's way of travel.

D．She had several fights with her husband.

【3】What failed them to visit the first 10 parks?

A．Bad sleep in the van.

B．The author's illness.

C．The change of route.

D．The government shutdown.

【4】What have the couple gained from the trip?

A．They've caught some dolphins.

B．They've became famous artists.

C．They've bettered their relationship.

D．They've got their professional photographer certificates.

24、   Many actors in the world are not confident enough to refuse an offer from Steven Spielberg. Maybe that was why Juliette gave him a choice. She said she'd be happy to be in Jurassic Park as long as she could play a dinosaur. Of course he turned her down and it was probably a good thing. It's difficult to imagine Juliette tearing people apart with her teeth. However, her decision doesn't seem to have done her career any harm. She has gone on to make a string of hits, including The Unbearable Lightness of Being, The English Patient (for which she won an Oscar) and Chocolat.

It is not so easy to be successful in the United States for other foreign stars. Aaron is a good example. While some of his films have been popular in the US, they have usually been French films that traveled. One possible exception was Green Card, directed by Peter Weir, where he plays a French immigrant (移民) who goes through a fake wedding in order to stay and work in the United States. This is a predictable but sweet romantic comedy which typecasts (使模式化) its lead actors in terms of national stereotypes (陈规陋习). While some reviewers were kind, others shredded both the film and Aaron's performance.

【1】What do we know from Paragraph 1?

A.Juliette tore people apart with her teeth.

B.Juliette refused an offer from Steven Spielberg.

C.Juliette was not confident to play in Jurassic Park.

D.Juliette exactly wanted to play a dinosaur for Steven Spielberg.

【2】What do we know about Aaron?

A.He is an American actor.

B.He is an immigrant from France.

C.Most of his films are French.

D.His films were made in America, but well received in France.

【3】What is the meaning of the last sentence of the passage?

A.All of his films are impressive.

B.His films are quite interesting.

C.His films are popular in America.

D.Not all reviewers like his films.
