【解析】

本文为记叙文。文章介绍了著名影星Audrey Hepburn(奥黛丽·赫本)的生平事迹。1953年主演的《罗马假日》使她一举成名。从1989年直至1993年去世，赫本一直担任联合国儿童基金会的特使，为拉美和非洲儿童提供了很大的帮助。

1.细节理解题。第一段提到了她的身份，第五段提到她的婚姻，最后两段提到她的贡献。所以她的婚姻、身份和贡献在文章中都提到了，唯独没有提及她的宗教信仰，故选D。

2.细节理解题。根据第二段“Her mother thought it would be safe from German attacks”和“she returned to London after the war”二战期间，她在荷兰生活和学习。她母亲认为是安全的，不会受到德国的攻击。战后回到伦敦上大学时，可知，B 项符合题意。

3.推理判断题。根据第二段和第三段前半部分可知，二战期间其父母不在德国生活，故B项错误；根据第二段中“she realized she wasn’t going to be a ballerina”可知是她主动放弃的，C项错误；根据第三段中的“But it was Audrey Hepburn's move to America that brought her true fame. In 1951 she played the character “Gigi”in the Broadway play of the same name to great critical praise”由文章第三段内容可知，但是奥黛丽·赫本移居美国给她带来了真正的名声。1951年，她在百老汇同名剧中扮演了“吉吉”这个角色，受到了极大的好评。但并不是她扮演的最有名的角色，因此D项错误。故选A项。

4.细节理解题。结合文章内容可知，战后她从荷兰回到伦敦后开始拍电影，1953年她获得奥斯卡最佳女演员奖，1964年她在我的窈窕淑女中扮演了一个角色。1989年，联合国儿童基金会任命奥黛丽为亲善大使。她周游世界各地，以支持UNLCEF项目。根据内容进行排序可以判断，C项顺序正确。故选C
