Andrews" professional career was launched with 1999"s Heart Shaped World, recorded when she was 14 years old. The album included the country hit I Will Be There For You, which also appeared on The Prince Of Egypt . She followed up the release of the album by touring as a support act for such country superstars as Faith Hill and Trisha Yearwood.
With the release of 2001’s, Who I Am, Andrews became a star in her own right. The album was certified (证明)gold for sales of 500,000 copies. Andrews returned in April 2003 with Now,an album that she promised would show a new side of the young artist. "This album has a very different feeling for me," she said. "It"s a lot more personal and there"s a confidence that wasn"t quite there on the first two. I feel especially connected to this group of songs."

答案
小题1:D
小题2:A
小题3:B
小题4:C
小题5:D
解析
小题1:D 推理题。根据文章第三段talk of Andrews had spread to Nashville and caught the attention of producer Byron Gallimore以及3,4两段内容可知Andrews正是在Byron Gallimore及其公司的帮助下成功的。故D正确。
小题2:A 猜测词义题。第四段内容说明她正是在发行Heart Shaped World这个专辑以后事业开始取得成功,故launch意为:开始。故A正确。
小题3:B 推理题。With the release of 2001’s, Who I Am, Andrews became a star in her own right. Who I Am这个专辑是在2001年发行的,是在发行这个专辑以后成为巨星。也许在之前就唱过这首歌,并不是说她唱了这首歌就成为一名巨星。
小题4:C 细节题。根据第四段第三行The album included the country hit I Will Be There For You, which also appeared on The Prince Of Egypt .只是说这首歌出现在The Prince Of Egypt中,并不一定说The Prince Of Egypt就一定是她的专辑。而ABD的确都是她的专辑。实际上The Prince Of Egypt是一部电影。故C符合要求。
小题5:D 主旨大意题。文章介绍了歌星Jessica Andrews成功的人生。

Cai said, “A beggar’s life is very hard. That’s why I want to help them.”
Cai was one of 14 Tsinghua students spending Christmas Eve among the poor. They walked in the cold wind along the streets from 4 to 7 pm on Friday, visiting 15 beggars in Beijing’s Haidian District.

He 22 the saleswoman and with a slight 23 , possibly German, asked where the women’s shoes were sold. “Fourth floor.” She responded in a voice I could hear 10 miles away. “Pardon? Where did you say they were?” he asked again, apparently 24 . Clearly the old man was somewhat 25 “Fourth floor, sir,” the friendly saleswoman replied patiently, this time so 26 that customers turned to see what was causing the 27 .
I continued watching as the man thanked the saleswoman and 28 for what I assumed was the fourth floor. But rather than walk to the 29 or the lift, he dashed behind a shelf, took out a notebook and started writing hurriedly, with an almost mad 30 on his face. Then he went straight up to another saleswoman and asked where the women’s shoes were sold. Again he asked her to 31 the answer and once more he walked away and took down some notes.
He did this three more times before a department store 32 , thinking him mad, removed him from the store. But rather than be 33 , the old man departed with a huge smile on his face. Although the incident was 34 , it was not until a year later, during my first year of university, that I gave it any further 35 . I walked into my language classroom and met my professor. It was that very same man.

The 45-year-old from southern Sweden was found on Friday, February17, too weak to say more than a few words.
He was found not far from the city ofUmea in the north of Sweden by snowmobilers who thought they had come across a ruined car until they dug their way to a window and saw movement inside.
The man, who was lying in the back seat in a sleeping bag, said he had been in the car since December 19.
“Just incredible that he’s alive considering that he had no food, but also since it’s been really cold for some time after Christmas.” a rescue team member told regional daily Vasterbottens- Kuriren, which broke the news.
Ebbe Nyberg, duty officer at the Umea police, said police saw no reason to doubt that the man had been stuck in the car for a very long time.
“We would not make up something like this. The rescue services were on site too and saw the same as us.” he told Vasterbottens-Kuriren.
Umea University Hospital, where the man is recovering after being rescued by police and a rescue team, said in a statement he was doing well considering the circumstances.
Doctors at the hospital said humans would normally be able to survive for about four weeks without food. Besides eating snow, the man probably survived by going into a dormant-like(休眠似的)state, physician Stefan Branth told Vasterbottens-Kuriren.
“A bit like a bear that hibernates. Humans can do that.” he said. “He probably had a body temperature of around 31 degrees which the body adjusted to. Due to the low temperature, not much energy was used up.”
“Why the man ended up under the snow in the forest remains unknown,” police said.
