.阅读理解
Chelsea Clinton, the 31yearold daughter of former President Bill Clinton and Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, is stepping into her own spotlight.
According to the New York Times, NBC has hired Clinton to become a fulltime special correspondent (记者) for NBC News. Her feature stories will reportedly be used in the “Making a Difference” series, which runs on “NBC Nightly News”. The sections attract people who volunteer to improve the lives of others in their communities.
When Bill Clinton won the presidency in 1992, the first lady asked the press to keep Chelsea out of the public eyes. As a young adult, Chelsea continued to avoid media attention in order to attend college and quietly enter the business world. Once her mother decided to run for the presidency in 2007, however, Chelsea made hundreds of public appearances, mostly on college campuses, to support the campaign. More recently, she has worked for New York University and promoted her father's latest book. She is currently pursuing a doctor's degree at Oxford.
Clinton is the second daughter of a president hired by NBC News; Jenna Bush Hager, daughter of former President George W. Bush, works as a correspondent for NBC's “Today” show.
[语篇解读] 美国前总统克林顿和前任国务卿希拉里·克林顿两人的女儿切尔西逐渐步入公众的视野，据《纽约时报》报道，切尔西已经成为美国全国广播公司的一名通讯记者。
1．Chelsea Clinton continued to stay out of media attention to ________.
A．improve the lives of others
B．help her father in the election
C．study and go to the business circle
D．support her mother for the presidency
【解析】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Chelsea continued to avoid media attention in order to attend college and quietly enter the business world.”可知切尔西·克林顿避开媒体的关注是为了上大学并进入商业圈。
【答案】 C
2．What does the underlined word “run” mean in Paragraph 2?
A．is shown
B．flows
C．is managed
D．spreads
【解析】 词义猜测题。联系上文可知“Her feature stories will reportedly be used in the ‘Making a Difference’ series, which runs on ‘NBC Nightly News’. ”的句意为“切尔西的专题报道将被应用到‘Making a Difference’系列节目中，这档节目在‘NBC Nightly News’中播出。”根据句意可知此处run意为“(连续地)播出”。
【答案】 A
3．Which is the right order of the events?
a．Chelsea helped to sell Bill Clinton's latest book.
b．Chelsea pursues her doctor's degree.
c．Chelsea supported her mother's career.
d．Chelsea was out of the public attention.
A. d, a, c, b
B. c, d, b, a
C. c, b, d, a
D. d, c, a, b
【解析】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段的叙述可知D项符合题意。
【答案】 D
4．According to the text, we can conclude that ________.
A．Chelsea Clinton is the second daughter of Bill Clinton
B．Chelsea Clinton is in favour of her parents' careers
C．Chelsea Clinton always follows her mother's advice
D．Jenna Bush Hager is a correspondent for “NBC Nightly News”
【解析】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段中的内容可知，2007年，希拉里竞选总统时切尔西为其助阵；近来，切尔西又为克林顿的新书做宣传。通过切尔西的这些举动，我们可推断出她非常支持她父母的事业，故选B。文中没有信息告诉我们切尔西是克林顿的第几个女儿，排除A项；虽然在第三段中我们得出切尔西支持其父母的事业的结论，但不等于她总是听从妈妈的建议，排除C项；通过最后一段可知Jenna Bush Hager is a correspondent for NBC's “Today” show，而不是“NBC Nightly News”，故排除D项。
【答案】 B
