In 2015, US actress Brie Larson took home the Academy Award for Best Actress for her role in the movie Room. These days, the 29-year-old is standing her ground as a superhero.

Larson plays Carol Danvers, also known as Captain Marvel, in the movie of the same name. As a superhero, she has many superpowers, such as being able to fly as fast as light. The movie has become a huge success.

When Larson was offered the role, she didn’t accept it at the beginning. ‘I am not a person with much confidence. So, I needed a little bit of time to see if I can do it…’ she said. Larson is no stranger to Hollywood, but it’s one thing to win an Oscar and another thing totally to star in a Marvel movie.She had no idea about playing a superhero. There would be lots of promotional (推廣) interviews. Facing all of these, she decided to go out of comfort zone (舒適區(qū)). ‘I was gonna push myself to do things that I never thought I could do. I challenged myself. ’ she said.

Larson trained for nine months. She learned kungfu, practiced weightlifting and so on. But the biggest challenge was that she had to work with a cat – an animal that she was afraid of. ‘I was sick the whole time, but I insisted to work with it by myself. I was fine.’

Varity magazine spoke highly of her acting. By playing Captain Marvel, Larson discovered her own weaknesses and turned them into confidence. Even just watching her recent interviews, one can tell from her body language that she had found something she didn’t have much before.

【解析】

這篇短文給我們介紹了2015年奧斯卡最佳女演員獲得者—拉爾森，她出演了《房間》這部電影。一開始她并不想接這個角色，對自己沒有太多信心。后來她決定從自己的舒適區(qū)里走出來，克服了很多困難，終于獲得了成功。

【1】根據(jù)短文第二段中As a superhero, she has many superpowers, such as being able to fly as fast as light.可知，在電影中，她能飛得跟光速一樣快。這里考查使用短語at the speed of…以…速度，與原文意思相同。

【2】根據(jù)短文第三段When Larson was offered the role, she didn’t accept it at the beginning可知，Larson在得到這個角色時，一開始不想接受。原文didn’t accept即refused，“拒絕”，這里也應(yīng)填過去式形式。

【3】根據(jù)短文第三段She had no idea about playing a superhero.“她對扮演超級英雄一無所知”。即“她不確定怎樣扮演超級英雄”，故這里填sure或者certain，確定的，確信的。

【4】根據(jù)短文第三段Facing all of these, she decided to go out of comfort zone可知，Larson最后決定走出舒適區(qū)。根據(jù)題目中的表達(dá)可知，這里應(yīng)表示“不停留在舒適區(qū)”，因此這里填remain或stay，意為“停留”。

【5】根據(jù)短文最后一段By playing Captain Marvel, Larson discovered her own weaknesses and turned them into confidence可知，通過扮演驚奇隊長，Larson發(fā)現(xiàn)了自己的弱點(diǎn)，并將其轉(zhuǎn)化為自信。由此可知她變得更加自信了，故這里填confident。
