3．选A　细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Thomascovered10presidentsovernearlyhalfacentury...”可知，她采访过十位总统；根据第三段的内容可知，她从1961年开始当记者到2010年退休。她作为记者的时间应该是：2010－1961＝49年。故选A项。4．选D　推理判断题。根据文章的最后一段的内容可知，Thomas指责Bush把国家引入伊拉克战争，直到Bush退休时，进行了六年的战争及其带来的灾难还在继续。故选D项。语篇解读：本文是一篇人物介绍，主要讲述了95岁的NolaOchs即将成为世界上年龄最大的大学毕业生的相关内容。5．选C　主旨大意题。根据第一段第二句中的“That"snottheonlythingmarkingherofffromherclassmates”以及第三句中的“theworld"soldestpersontobeawardedacollegedegree”可知，第一段主要告诉我们NolaOchs的与众不同之处。故选C。6．选A　细节理解题。根据上文可知，她即将成为世界上年龄最大的大学毕业生，但这并不是她的计划，下文做了进一步解释。因此画线句子指“她并没有计划着要成为年龄最大的大学毕业生。”故选A。7．选D　细节理解题。根据第四段她的表述中的“Idon"tthinkmuchofmyage...it"sjustanumber.”可知，她对自己的年龄并不在意。故选D。8．选C　细节理解题。第五段提到了NolaOchs受教育的经历；第六、七段提到了她的体貌特征和人际关系。只有她的专业文中没有提到。故选C。语篇解读：Lil"Romeo是一个多才多艺的人，他无论在唱歌、表演、时尚业还是打篮球等方面都取得了非凡的成就。9．选B　短语理解题。由第二段可推知，Lil"Romeo发行的第一张专辑非常受青少年欢迎，后来又发行了三张个人专辑，使他成为最受欢迎的嘻哈艺术家之一而一举成名。故选B。10．选A　段落大意题。由第三段内容可知，本段主要讲述Lil"Romeo在表演方面所取得的成就。11．选C　细节理解题。由第四段首句可知，由于对商业产生了浓厚的兴趣，Lil"Romeo开始进军时尚业。12．选A　推理判断题。本文主要讲述Lil"Romeo在很多方面都取得了骄人的成绩，结合最后一段的结论可知，他有取得成功的天赋，故选项A正确。
