【答案解析】[听力原文]
W: Alexis Cruz may be young, but this up and coming actor has had a solid 20 years in show business. After attending the legendary "Fame" school, Alexis has landed one role after another in films starring actors such as Johnny Depp, Halle Berry, Vivica A. Fox and Marion Brando.
I found Alexis to be not only enthusiastic about acting and enhancing his craft, but he is without a doubt, one of the kindest and warmest actors
I"ve had the pleasure of interviewing. Hello, Alexis. How are you doing?
M: Great. Good to see you.
W: When did you decide show business was the path you wanted to take?
M: I started when I was 9 and it was something I had interest in and I was aware that I wanted to go further, I just didn"t know how.
Even when I started at 9, when you"re that young, if you"ve got talent, you can read the lines and you"re cute, that"s enough.
But, when I was about 13, I was auditioning for a role and I was up against Marc Anthony, the director sits me down and says, "You know, you"re not a very good actor, you"re a terrible actor, but I"m going to give you this part anyway." It just stunned me!
But some part of my brain clicked in that he was saying something to me and that I need to take acting classes.
So I decided to listen to him and that same year I started training at the School for Performing Arts, the Fame school.
It turned out to be the biggest turning point of my life.
That"s where I learned to become an actor.
W: You attended the infamous Fame school, what "extra something" did you have that scored a spot in the school?
M: It wasn"t anything.
When I was auditioning, their standards were really strict.
I went through two days of the auditioning process with various exercises, tests and monologues to gauge your talent.
There"s really no way to prepare for it.
W: You have starred in films with some of the biggest names in the business. Which celebrity has given you the best advice through the years?
M: I learned from Anthony Quinn about working my knowledge. I learned from him what it meant to learn my knowledge. Many, many, many years later, I learned from James Woods a combination of what I had learned... not to be a jerk.
What do we learn from the beginning of the interview?
[解析] 由关键语句kindest and warmest，enthusiastic about acting and enhancing his craft可推知Alexis很随和，工作中是富有激情的，故C选项为正确答案。录音只提到Alexis从事演艺界有20年，故A错误；B项太绝对，文中只是说Alexis曾与Johnny Depp、Halle Berry等演员合作，并不能由此推出他在每部电影中都是主角；D项表述偏颇，录音开头只提到Alexis很热心于提高他的演技。
【正确答案】
D

What can the auditioning process of the Fame school be summarized as?
[解析] 从对话中的really strict，two days of the auditioning process，various exercises and tests and monologues和no way to prepare等可知整个试演过程是非常严厉而且根本无法准备，A项“严厉且事先无准备的”符合题意。B项的tedious带有贬义色彩，文中并没有暗示试演很冗长，只是提及了整个试演过程花费了两天时间，说话者的态度很中肯，故排除B；C项中的easy表述不正确；D项inordinate偏离了原文。
