Answer 1

答案：D;C;B;C;B

解析：

(1) D 这是一道正误辨认题.通读全文，由短文第一段中he began his writing career as sports reporter for the Kansas City Star.短文第二段中Hemingway left his job and tried to join the army及短文第四段中In 1927 Hemingway published a collection of short stories called Men Without Women等信息，我们可以看出，海明威当过体育记者、士兵和短篇故事作家，但未曾当过演员.

(2) C 这是一道事实细节题.根据短文第二段中When World War I broke out，Hemingway left his job and tried to join the army. After repeated rejections，he was finally accepted as an ambulance driver with the Red Cross in Italy可知，海明威在意大利参军.当了救护车司机.

(3) B 这是一道推理判断题.根据短文第四段首句With the publication of The sun Also Rises in 1926，Hemingway's major success as a novelist was established. This novel is considered by many critics to be the finest work.可以推断出，海明威最早的成功之作，是The Sun Also Rises的出版.

(4) C 这是一道综合概括题.文中谈到海明威出版的书有Three Short Stories and Two Poems(1923)；In Our Time(1924)；The Torrents of Spring(1926)；The Sun also Rises(1926)；Men Without Women(1927)；A Farewell to Arms(1929)；Death in the Afternoon(1932)；The Old man and the Sea(1952)共8部.

(5) B 这是一道考查是否准确掌握文中所提供信息的题目.阅读短文最后一段我们可以知道，海明威被授予诺贝尔文学奖是在他写的The Old Men and the Sea 一书出版之后.
