　　Chelsea Clinton, the 31-year-old 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 full-time special correspondent (記者) 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.

　　[語篇解讀]　美國前總統克林頓和前任國務卿希拉里·克林頓兩人的女兒切爾西逐漸步入公眾的視野，據《紐約時報》報道，切爾西已經成為美國全國廣播公司的一名通訊記者。

　　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】　細節理解題。根據第三段中的“Chelsea continued to avoid media attention in order to attend college and quietly enter the business world.”可知切爾西·克林頓避開媒體的關注是為了上大學并進入商業圈。

　　【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】　詞義猜測題。聯系上文可知“Her feature stories will reportedly be used in the ‘Making a Difference’ series, which runs on ‘NBC Nightly News’. ”的句意為“切爾西的專題報道將被應用到‘Making a Difference’系列節目中，這檔節目在‘NBC Nightly News’中播出。”根據句意可知此處run意為“(連續地)播出”。

　　【答案】　A

　　3．Which is the right order of the events?

　　a．Chelsea helped to sell Bill Clinton's latest book.

　　【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】　推理判斷題。根據文章第三段中的內容可知，2007年，希拉里競選總統時切爾西為其助陣；近來，切爾西又為克林頓的新書做宣傳。通過切爾西的這些舉動，我們可推斷出她非常支持她父母的事業，故選B。文中沒有信息告訴我們切爾西是克林頓的第幾個女兒，排除A項；雖然在第三段中我們得出切爾西支持其父母的事業的結論，但不等于她總是聽從媽媽的建議，排除C項；通過最后一段可知Jenna Bush Hager is a correspondent for NBC's “Today” show，而不是“NBC Nightly News”，故排除D項。

　　【答案】　B
