答案解析
People fell in love with Elizabeth Taylor in 1944, [14] when she starred in National Velvet -- the story of Velvet Brown, a young girl who wins the first place in a famous horse race. [13] At first, the producers of the movie told Taylor that she was too small to play the part of Velvet. However, they waited for her for a few months as
she exercised and trained -- [13] and added three inches to her height in four months! Her acting in National Velvet was still considered the best by a child actress. Elizabeth Taylor was born in London in 1932. Her parents, both Americans, had moved there for business reasons. When World War II started, the Taylors moved to Beverly Hills, California, and there Elizabeth started acting in movies. After her success as a child star,Taylor had no trouble moving into adult roles and won twice for Best Actress: Butter field 8 (1960) and Who's Afraid of Virginia Wolf?. (1966).
Taylor's fame and popularity gave her a lot of power with the movie industry, so she was able to demand very high pay for her movies. In 1963, she received $1 million for her part in Cleopatra -- the highest pay received by any star up to that time.
Elizabeth Taylor is a legend of our time. [14] Like Velvet Brown in National Velvet, she has been lucky.She has beauty, fame and wealth. But she is also a hard worker. Taylor seldom acts in movies any more.Instead, [15] she puts her time and efforts into her business, and into helping others -- several years ago, she founded an organisation that has raised more than $40 million for research and education.
【预测】选项均以they thought she开头以及选项中的too young和did not play well表明,本题可能考查they对she的看法及原因。
【解析】B。由短文中提到的she was too small to play the part of Velvet以及后来说的added three inches to her height可知,这里的small指的是身高而不是年龄,由此可知,制片方不让泰勒演维尔维特是因为她身高不够,故答案为B本题要求结合两处信息进行判断
