Kid,introduced us in New York City.When the studio didnt want me for the film it wanted somebody as well known as Paul he stood up for me.I dont know how many people would have done that;they would have listened to their agents or the studio powers.The friendship that grew out of the experience of making that film and The Sting four years later had its root in the fact that although there was an age difference,we both came from a tradition of theater and live TV.We were respectful of craft(技艺)and focused on digging into the characters we were going to play.Both of us had the qualities and virtues that are typical of American actors:humorous,aggressive,and making fun of each other but always with an underlying affection.Those were also at the core(核心) of our relationship off the screen.We shared the belief that if youre fortunate enough to have success,you should put something back he with his Newmans Own food and his Hole in the Wall camps for kids who are seriously ill,and me with Sundance and the institute and the festival.Paul and I didnt see each other all that regularly,but sharing that brought us together.We supported each other financially and by showing up at events.I last saw him a few months ago.Hed been in and out of the hospital.He and I both knew what the deal was,and we didnt talk about it.Ours was a relationship that didnt need a lot of words.21.Why was the studio unwilling to give the role to the author at first?A.Paul Newman wanted it.B.The studio powers didnt like his agent.C.He wasnt famous enough.D.The director recommended someone else.答案:C解析:细节理解题。根据第一段第二句“When the studio didnt want me for the film it wanted somebody as well known as Paul.”可知,工作室不想把那个角色给作者的原因是他不出名,故C项正确。22.Why did Paul and the author have a lasting friendship?A.They were of the same age.B.They worked in the same theater.C.They were both good actors.D.They had similar characteristics.答案:D解析:细节理解题。根据第二段尤其是第三、四句“Both of us had the qualities and virtues.Those were also at the core(核心) of our relationship off the screen.”可知,作者和Paul有着相似的品质和美德,因而他们之间的友谊持久。故D项正确。23.What does the underlined word “that” in paragraph 3 refer to?A.Their belief.B.Their care for children.C.Their success.D.Their support for each other.答案:A解析:词义猜测题。本段讲的是他们共同的信仰。开头说“We shared the belief that.”,这里又说“but sharing that brought us together”,画线词that就是指他们共同的信仰(belief)。故A项正确。24.What is the authors purpose in writing the text?A.To show his love of films.B.To remember a friend.C.To introduce a new movie.D.To share his acting experience.答案:B解析:推理判断题。作者在开始讲述自己第一次见到 Paul Newman的情景,后面叙述两人的友谊,相同的性格,共同的信仰。最后一段提到最后一次见他。作者写作的目的就是怀念一位朋友,因此B项正确。B(2016四川高考)If you could have one superpower,what would it be?Dreaming about whether you would want to read minds,see through walls,or have superhuman strength may sound silly,but it actually gets to the heart of what really matters in your life.Every day in our work,we are inspired by the people we meet doing extraordinary things to improve the world.They have a different kind of superpower that all of us possess:the power to make a difference in the lives of others.Were not saying that everyone needs to contribute their lives to the poor.Your lives are busy enough doing homework,playing sports,making friends,seeking after your dreams.But we do think that you can live a more powerful life when you devote some of your time and energy to something much larger than yourself.Find an issue you are interested in and learn more.Volunteer or,if you can,contribute a little money to a cause.Whatever you do,dont be a bystander.Get involved.You may have the opportunity to make your biggest difference when youre older.But why not start now?Our own experience working together on health,development,and energy the last twenty years has been one of the most rewarding parts of our lives.It has changed who we are and continues to fuel our optimism about how much the lives of the poorest people will improve in the years ahead.25.What does the underlined part in Paragraph 2 refer to?A.Your life style.B.Your life value.C.Your trouble in life.D.Your life experience.答案:B解析:词义猜测题。根据文章第一段及第二段可知,如果可以拥有一种超能力,有的人想要读心术、有的人想能看穿墙壁、有的人想拥有超人的力量,这听起来都很傻,但这确实反映了你内心的真实想法,也就是你的人生观和价值观。由此可以判断,画线部分的含义为“你的人生价值观”,故选B项。26.Why does the author say they are inspired every day?A.They possess different kinds of superpowers.B.They have got the power to change the world.C.Some people around them are making the world better.D.There are many powerful people in their life and work.答案:C解析:推理判断题。根据文章第三段的内容可知,在工作中,我们每天都受到一些人的鼓舞,他们做着非凡的事情来改善这个世界。由此可以推断,人们之所以受到鼓舞,是因为周围的人都在改变着世界,使世界变得更美好,故选C项。27.What does the author stress in Paragraph 5?A.Learning more and contributing more to a cause.B.Rising above self and acting to help others.C.Working hard to get a bigger opportunity.D.Trying your best to help the poor.答案:B解析:段落大意题。作者在第五段第一句指出,我们并不是说每个人都需要为穷人贡献自己的生命。然后指出了自己的观点“But we do think that you can live a more powerful life when you devote some of your time and energy to something much larger than yourself.”,可知当你把你的时间和精力投入到更大的事情上时,你可以活得更有力量。由此可以推断,作者强调的是要提升自己,帮助他人,故B项正确。28.What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A.The author believes the lives of the poorest will get better.B.Much more progress will be made in the near future.C.The work on health is the most valuable experience.D.Peoples efforts have been materially rewarded.答案:A解析:推理判断题。根据文章最后一段中的“It has changed who we are and continues to fuel our optimism about how much the lives of the poorest people will improve in the years ahead.”可知,它改变了我们,并继续让我们对改善贫穷人口的生活保持乐观的情绪。由此可以推断,作者坚信,穷人的生活会变得更好。故选A项。C(20162017黑龙江大庆铁人中学高二检测)A popular saying goes,“Sticks and stones may break my bones,but words will never hurt me.” However,thats not really true.Words have the power to build us up or tear us down.It doesnt matter if the words come from someone else or ourselvesthe positive and negative effects are just as lasting.We all talk to ourselves sometimes.Were usually too embarrassed to admit it,though.In fact,we really shouldnt be because more and more experts believe talking to ourselves out loud is a healthy habit.This “self-talk” helps us motivate ourselves,remember things,solve problems,and calm ourselves down.Be aware,though,that as much as 77% of self-talk tends to be negative.So in order to stay positive,we should only speak words of encouragement to ourselves.We should also be quick to give ourselves a pat on the back.The next time you finish a project,do well in a test,or finally clean your room,join me in saying “Good job!”.Often,words come out of our mouths without us thinking about the effect they will have.But we should be aware that our words cause certain responses in others.For example,when returning an item to a store,we might use warm,friendly language during the exchange.And the clerk will probably respond in a similar manner.Or harsh(刻薄的) and critical language will most likely cause the clerk to be defensive.Words possess power because of their lasting effects.Many of us regret something we once said.And we remember unkind words said to us!Before speaking,we should always ask ourselves:Is it true?Is it loving?Is it needed?If what we want to say doesnt pass this test,then its better left unsaid.Words possess power:both positive and negative.Those around us receive encouragement when we speak positively.We can offer hope,build self-esteem(自尊) and motivate others to do their best.Negative words destroy all those things.Will we use our words to hurt or to heal?The choice is ours.29.There is no need for us to feel embarrassed when we talk to ourselves because .A.almost everybody has the habit of talking to themselvesB.talking to ourselves always gives us courageC.we can benefit
