第一编　专题一　考点4真题题组A(2017·全国Ⅱ，B)I first met Paul Newman in 1968，when George Roy Hill，the director of Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid，introduced us in New York City. When the studio didn’t want me for the film—it wanted somebody as well known as Paul—he stood up for me. I don’t 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 you’re fortunate enough to have success，you should put something back—he with his Newman’s 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 didn’t 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. He’d been in and out of the hospital. He and I both knew what the deal was，and we didn’t talk about it. Ours was a relationship that didn’t need a lot of words. 文章大意：本文是一篇记叙文。

作者讲述了与Paul的相识及与其建立友谊的原因，虽不常见面但是却因共同的信念而保持着友谊❶　Why was the studio unwilling to give the role to author at first？ __C__A．Paul Newman wanted it. B．The studio powers didn’t like his agent. C．He wasn’t famous enough. D．The director recommended someone else. 解析：考查细节理解根据第一段中的“When the studio didn’t want me for the film—it wanted somebody as well known as Paul—he stood up for me”可知，摄影棚起初不愿意给作者角色的原因是想找一个与Paul一样著名的人物故可知作者当时不够有名该题选C项❷　Why did Paul and the author have a lasting friendship？ __D__A．They were of the same age. B．They worked in the same theater. C．They were both good actors. D．They have similar characteristics. 解析：考查推理判断。

根据文章第二段中的“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”可知，作者与Paul之所以拥有持久的友谊是因为他们有相似的性格特征故D项符合题意❸　What does the underlined word “that” in paragraph 3 refer to？ __A__A．Their belief. B．Their care for children. C．Their success. D．Their support for each other. 解析：考查代词指代根据第三段中的“We shared the belief that if you’re fortunate enough to have success，you should put something back”可知，下文的内容是对the belief的解释，that引导同位语从句，解释说明the belief的具体内容。

下文提到了我们并不经常见面，但是分享这个信念把我们带到了一起故选A项❹　What is the author’s purpose in writing the text？ __B__A．To show his love of films. B．To remember a friend. C．To introduce a new movie. D．To share his acting experience. 解析：考查写作目的根据全文内容，尤其是第一段中的“I first met Paul Newman in 1968”以及最后一段中的“I last saw him a few months ago”可知，该篇文章的写作目的是回忆一位朋友，所以选B项B(2016·全国Ⅱ，B)Five years ago，when I taught art at a school in Seattle，I used Tinkertoys as a test at the beginning of a term to find out something about my students. I put a small set of Tinkertoys in front of each student，and said： “Make something out of the Tinkertoys. You have 45minutes today—and 45 minutes each day for the rest of the week. ”A few students hesitated to start. They waited to see what the rest of the class would do. Several others checked the instructions and made something according to one of the model plans provided. Another group built something out of their own imaginations. Once I had a boy who worked experimentally with Tinkertoys in his free time. His constructions filled a shelf in the art classroom and a good part of his bedroom at home. I was delighted at the presence of such a student. Here was an exceptionally creative mind at work. His presence meant that I had an unexpected teaching assistant in class whose creativity would infect(感染) other students. Encouraging this kind of thinking has a downside. I ran the risk of losing those students who had a different style of thinking. Without fail one would declare，“But I’m just not creative. ”“Do you dream at night when you’re asleep？”“Oh，sure. ”“So tell me one of your most interesting dreams. ” The student would tell something wildly imaginative. Flying in the sky or in a time machine or growing three heads. “That’s pretty creative. Who does that for you？”“Nobody. I do it. ”“Really—at night，when you’re asleep？”“Sure. ” “Try doing it in the daytime，in class，okay？”文章大意：本文是一篇记叙文。
