问题         Acting legend Elizabeth Taylor has passed away. She leaves behind her own life-long movie of ups and downs, marriage and divorce, and sickness and recovery. The world of entertainment is mourning the death of the last classic movie star.
        Taylor died of congestive heart failure in Los Angeles at the age of 79.
        Taylor’s more than 50 movies included unforgettable portraits of innocence and of decadence (堕落), from the children’s classic National Velvet (《玉女神驹》) to Oscar-winning transgressions in Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? (《谁怕弗吉尼亚·澳尔夫》) and Butterfield 8(《巴塔菲尔德第八》).
        Fans gathered on Hollywood’s Walk of Fame to pay tribute (颂词) to the actress. They placed tributes on her star and recalled about highlights of her career.
        Sandra, Hollywood, California, said, "Well, she just led an amazing life, and she went out with style."
        Phil Schuman, reporter of KTTV in Los Angeles, said, "Well, I mean, her whole life story： child star, remarkably beautiful, all the marriages, almost dying, then all of her great work with AIDS research, Michael Jackson’s best friend. It’s just a one-of-a-kind story, I think."
        Taylor was not only the most blessed actress, but also the most loyal of friends and defender of homosexuals in Hollywood. She won a special Oscar, the Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award for her efforts to support AIDS research.
        "Is this something that we can bear? No. The AIDS crisis is not over." Taylor once said.
        Taylor’s private life is also a legend. She was a star at age 12, a bride and a divorcee at 16, a superstar at 19 and a widow at 26. She has married 8 times. One of her former husbands, former U.S. Senator John Warner, 84, paid tribute to the late star during an event in Washington.
Which statement about Elizabeth Taylor is NOT true?
选项 A、She acted in more than 50 movies all her life.
B、She was Michael Jackson’s best friend.
C、Her movie National Velvet won Oscar.
D、She died of congestive heart failure at the age of 79.
答案C
解析 根据“from the children’s classic National Velvet to Oscar-winning transgressions in Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? and Butterfield 8.”可知获奥斯卡奖的影片不是National Velvet。
