While acting may run in the family, it wasn't Angelina Jolie's only choice when she thought about her future career. Although Jolie has studied her craft since childhood, at one point the 26-year-old, who stars this month in Tomb Raider with her father, actor John Voight, wanted to be a funeral director. "I thought that the crossing over could be a beautiful thing and a time of comfort where people could reach out to each other." Tradition appeals to Jolie, who moved with her mother, Marcheline Bertrand, and brother after her parents separated when she was two. "I never had one home. I never had an attic that had old stuff in it. We always moved, so I was never rooted anywhere. And I always dreamed of having that attic of things that I could go back and look at. And I'm very drawn to some things that are tradition, that are roots, and I think that may be why I focused on funerals." Finally, she chose acting. "Following in my father's footsteps," she says, "is an interesting thing, because I think we speak to each other through our work. You don't really know your parents in a certain way, and they don't really know you. So he can watch a film and see how I am as a woman, die way I'm dealing with a husband who's been injured, or the way I'm crying alone." "And it's the same for me: I can watch films of his and just see who he is. I've learned to communicate with him as a person."

【正确答案】
B
【答案解析】解析：本题为细节题，要求根据第一段内容判断所给四个选项中“关于安吉丽娜·朱莉哪一个是正确的?”。根据“Although Jolie has studied her craft since childhood，at one point the26一year—old，who stars this month in Tomb Raider with her father，actor John Voight，wanted to be a funeral director．(尽管从小学习演技，朱莉本月还与其父亲约翰·沃伊特在《古墓丽影》共同出演，但是26岁的她曾想成为一名葬礼组织者。)”推论，定语从旬“who stars this month in Tomb Raider with her father”里谓语用的是现在时说明写这篇文章时她26岁，因此A表达的“安吉丽娜·朱莉26岁时成为了葬礼组织者”不正确。选项B表达的“写这篇文章时，安吉丽娜·朱莉26岁”正确。选项C表达的“安吉丽娜·朱莉26岁时开始学习表演”不正确。选项D表达的“安吉丽娜·朱莉26岁时想成为葬礼组织者”不正确。

An attic is______.
【正确答案】
A
【答案解析】解析：本题为词义猜测题，需要根据上下文判断“attic”的词义。从第二段第二句起的内容如下，即“I never had one home．I never had an attic that had old stuff in it．We always moved，so I was never rooted anywhere．And I always dreamed of having that attic of things that I could go back and look at．(我从来没有一个家。我从来没有一个装有旧东西的阁楼。我们总是搬家，所以我从来没有扎根的地方。我一直梦想有一阁楼的东西可以回去看看。)”，我们可以据此推论， “attic”是一个可以装东西而且人还可以进去看的地方，因此A是正确的选项。

Angelina Jolie wanted to be a funeral director probably because______.
【正确答案】
C
【答案解析】解析：本题为综合理解题。根据第二段的描述可知，安吉丽娜·朱莉小时候总是搬家，因此总是没有扎根的感觉，因此她十分渴望能有一个稳定的安身之地，而坟墓是一个人的最后归宿。特别是从第二段最后一句“And I'm very drawn to some things that are tradition，that are roots．and I think that may be why I focused on funerals．”可以看出，她想成为葬礼组织者在很大程度上与居无定所有关系，因此选项C为正确答案。

Angelina Jolie finally chose acting because she thought______.
【正确答案】
D
【答案解析】解析：本题为细节题。由第三段第二句“…because I think we speak to each other through our work．”可知，两岁时父母离异后跟随母亲的安吉丽娜·朱莉与演员父亲之间缺乏对彼此的了解，所以她选择用演电影的方式来更好地交流。故选项D表达的“他的父亲通过电影可以更好地理解她”是正确答案。
