Question

3．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（技藝）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．

Answer 1

分析 本文主要介紹了我的朋友保羅和我之間的友誼．

解答 24．C 推理判斷題．根據(jù)句子When the studio didn't want me for the film-it wanted somebody as well known as Paul-he stood up for me當(dāng)時(shí)電影制片廠不想讓我演這部電影，他想要一個(gè)像保羅一樣出名的人，所以可以推斷出我沒有保羅一樣出名，所以答案選C．
25．D 細(xì)節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)句子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．我們兩人都有典型的美國演員的品質(zhì)和優(yōu)點(diǎn)：幽默、好斗、互相取笑，但總是有著深厚的感情．所以答案選D．
26．A 細(xì)節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)句子We shared the belief 我們分享信念．Paul and I didn't see each other all that regularly，but sharing that brought us together．雖然不見面但是共享信仰讓我們走在了一起．所以可以看出這里的that指的是belief．
27．B 寫作意圖題．作者開頭就寫第一次見到 Paul Newman 的時(shí)間，然后敘述了與他之間的事情，最后說到Ours was a relationship that didn't need a lot of words．我們的關(guān)系不需要太多的詞語．可見本文作者寫作的目的就是為了紀(jì)念一位朋友保羅．所以答案選B．

點(diǎn)評 本題主要測試考生在閱讀基礎(chǔ)上的邏輯推理能力，要求考生根據(jù)文章所述事件的邏輯關(guān)系，對未說明的趨勢或結(jié)局作出合理的推斷；或根據(jù)作者所闡述的觀點(diǎn)理論，對文章未涉及的現(xiàn)象、事例給以解釋．考生首先要仔細(xì)閱讀短文，完整了解信息，準(zhǔn)確把握作者觀點(diǎn)．
