Audrey Hepburn was born on May 4, 1929 in Brussels, Belgium. After her parents divorced, Audrey went to London with her mother where she went to a private girls school. While vacationing with her mother in Holland, Hitler’s army suddenly took over the town. It was here that she fell on hard times during the Nazi occupation. After the liberation, Audrey went to a ballet school in London on a scholarship and later began a modeling career. As a model, she was graceful and, it seemed, she had found her position in life—until the film producers came calling. After being spotted modeling by a producer, she was signed up for a bit part in the European film Nederlands in 7 Lessons in 1984. Later, she headed to America to try her luck there.
Audrey gained immediate prominence (成功) in the U.S. with her role in Roman Holiday in 1953. This film turned out to be a big success as she won an Oscar as Best Actress. This gained her enormous popularity and many more roles. Roman Holiday was followed by another similarly wonderful performance in the 1957 classic Funny Face (1957). In 1959, she received yet another nomination（提名） for her role in Nun’s Story. Audrey reached the top of her career when she played Holly Golightly in the film Breakfast at Tiffany’s in 1961. For this she received another nomination. One of Audrey’s most radiant（辉煌的） roles was in the fine production of My Fair Lady in 1964. Her co-star Rex Harrison once was asked to choose his favorite leading lady. Without hesitation, he replied, “Audrey Hepburn in My Fair lady”.
By the end of the sixties, after her divorce from actor Mel Ferrer, Audrey decided to retire while she was on top. Later she married Dr. Andrea Dotti. In 1988, Audrey became a special ambassador（大使） to the United Nations UNECEF fund helping children in Latin, American and Africa, a position she retained until 1993. Audrey Hepburn died on January 20, 1993 in Switzerland. She had made a total of 31 high quality movies.

解析：
【小题1】本题考查理解文章细节信息的能力。根据第二段第一句“Audrey gained immediate prominence in the U.S. with her role in Roman Holiday in 1953.” 可以看出，奥黛丽·赫本是在美国成名的。
【小题2】本题考查根据短文相关内容进行推理判断的能力。根据最后一段第三句话“In 1988, Audrey became a special ambassador（大使）to the United Nations UNECEF fund helping children in Latin American and Africa, a position she retained until 1993.”可知，奥黛丽·赫本退出影坛以后，被任命为联合国儿童基金会特使，赴拉丁美洲和非洲救助贫困的孩子，据此可以推断她是一个很有爱心和同情心的。
【小题3】本题考查对所述事件进行排序的能力。可用首尾定位法。第一个事件是“Audrey went to London with her mother”, 最后一个事件是“Audrey became a special ambassador to the United Nations UNICEF fund”，因而可排除A和C项，再仔细比较可知B为最佳答案。
【小题4】本题考查根据短文相关内容对词语含义进行简单推断的能力。从语境中我们可以了解到奥黛丽·赫本是正在进行模特表演时被一个制片商看中从而进入电影界的。因而我们可以看出，spot意为“察出，看出”。
