問題詳情：

As the old saying goes,  “Don't judge a book by its cover.” And neither should we judge movie stars by their ages.

At just 21, Elle Fanning made history by becoming the youngest jury (評審團) member at the  Cannes  Film Festival. This year it lasted from May 14th to May 25th.  “I was in complete shock when I got that phone call and that question if I wanted to be a member of the Cannes Jury，” Fanning said during a press conference.

As it turned out, it not only shocked the US actress, but also brought criticism from those who believed Fanning was too young compared to other veterans in the industry. But Fanning's acting experience was in fact a good argument for her jury membership. In fact, Fanning has been a Hollywood fixture for longer than you realize.

The 21－year－old has been in many big productions. She began acting in IAMSam at age 3. With lead roles in movies like Super 8, WeBoughtaZoo and Maleficent under her belt, she's appeared in 60 projects and is one of Hollywood's hottest young stars. Fanning's devotion to work numbers her among the few former child stars who continue to act as adults.

In her latest movie TeenSpirit, which hit US cinemas last month, Fanning plays a pop singer. Since she had no singing experience, Fanning had to work with Grammy－winning music producer Marius de Vries for three months before the filming started. “I would go to his apartment and sing through all the songs every day，” she said.  “He videoed me and recorded me singing everything and made me watch it back again and again to improve my skills.”

With such rich acting experience and devotion to her art, Fanning certainly was able to “represent a new class in film”  at the Cannes Film Festival.

【回答】

1.C　詞義猜測題。根據第三段第一句可知，範寧當選為戛納電影節評審團成員招致了一些人的批評，他們認為範寧與業內其他資深人士相比過於年輕。據此可推知，畫線詞意為“經驗豐富的人，老手”，故C項正確。

2.D　細節理解題。根據第五段第一句“In her latest movie TeenSpirit ... Fanning plays a pop singer.”可知，D項正確。

3.B　推理判斷題。根據第五段敍述的無唱歌經驗的範寧為扮演一位流行音樂歌手所做的努力和尾段中的“With such rich acting experience and devotion to her art”可推知，作者認為範寧是一位對工作盡心盡力的演員，故B項正確。

4.A　主旨大意題。根據第二段第一句“At just 21, Elle Fanning made history by becoming the youngest jury (評審團) member at the  Cannes  Film Festival”並結合全文其他內容可知，本文主要講述了21歲的艾麗·範寧成為戛納電影節歷史上年齡最小的評審團成員，並介紹了她的演藝經歷，故A項正確。
