五、阅读理解。
Did you watch *The Jungle Book* (《奇幻森林》)? The film tells a story about the boy Mowgli who grows up in the jungle. When a dangerous tiger Shere Khan learns about Mowgli, he wants to kill the boy. So Mowgli's friends Bagheera the leopard(豹) and Baloo the bear(熊) decide to help him out.
Neel Sethi who played Mowgli did a great job in the film. In fact, thousands of little actors wanted to play the role, but the 12-year-old boy finally got it. It was not an easy job. Neel had to suppose(假设) that he lived in a jungle with different animals. In fact, he could only see a computer screen.
“Luckily, the director(导演) often talked with me. That helped me a lot and made my work much easier. ” Neel would like to be an actor when he grows up. He also wants to become a dentist just like his father. Then again, he wouldn't mind playing football. “Doing three things well might sound difficult—but fighting with a tiger in the jungle isn't easy either,” Neel says.

【分析】
这是一篇人物介绍类的阅读理解，解题时首先可以快速通读全文，了解文章主要介绍了《奇幻森林》中主角Mowgli的扮演者Neel Sethi的拍摄经历和个人理想。之后针对每道小题，带着题干的关键词回到原文定位对应内容，将选项和原文信息逐一比对，排除不符合原文的错误选项，就能得到正确答案。遇到指代类题目时，要遵循就近原则，往前查找紧邻的相关内容，确定指代对象。
【解析】
1. 细节理解题：定位到原文第二段末尾“Neel had to suppose(假设) that he lived in a jungle with different animals. In fact, he could only see a computer screen.”，可知拍摄时Neel并没有真的和动物一同工作，他实际面对的只有电脑屏幕。选项A的其他小演员是和他竞争角色的人，并没有和他共事；选项B的农夫文中完全没有提及；选项C的不同动物是他假想出来的，并非真实一同工作的对象，因此排除A、B、C，选D。
2. 代词指代题：划线词That的前一句是“Luckily, the director(导演) often talked with me.”，结合句意“那给了我很大帮助，让我的工作轻松很多”，可知That指代的就是前文提到的导演经常和他交谈这件事，对应选项C，其余选项均不符合上下文逻辑，因此选C。
3. 细节判断题：将每个选项和原文逐一核对：A选项对应原文最后一段“He also wants to become a dentist just like his father.”，说明Neel的父亲就是牙医，表述正确；B选项文中提到Neel长大后想当演员、牙医，也不介意踢足球，没有提到想当歌手，表述错误；C选项第二段提到拿到角色的是12岁的Neel，并非10岁，表述错误；D选项全文没有提到Neel喜欢阅读的相关内容，表述错误。因此选A。
【答案】
1. D 2. C 3. A
