(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.
24.Why was the studio unwilling to give the role to the author at first?
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.
答案 C
解析细节理解题。
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,电影公司想要像保罗那样出名的人,由此可以判断,作者不够出名,故选C项。
25.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
解析推理判断题。
根据第二段中的“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.”可知,作者与保罗在荧幕前和荧幕后都很幽默、有进取心,并互开对方的玩笑,即他们两人有相似的性格,故选D项。
26.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
解析代词指代题。
根据第三段第一句“We shared the belief that...”以及下面对belief的具体解释可知,画线处是指共同拥有这种“信念”使“我们”两人连在一起,故选A项。
27.What is the author’s 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
解析写作意图题。
本文是按照时间顺序写的,从作者与保罗的最初相见,到友谊慢慢加深,以及几个月前去看望生病的保罗,由此可知作者写此文的目的是回忆一位朋友,故选B项。
名师指津
1.抓住主旨大意,理清文章脉络
通过阅读文章可知,本文是一篇记叙文。
文章主要讲述了作者和一位著名演员Paul Newman 之间的友谊。
文章的脉络如下:
2.总结解题规律,提高解题能力
深层理解文章,做好推理判断题
推理判断题属于主观题,是层次较高的题目。
此类题目要求通过文章中的文字信息,上下文逻辑关系及事物的发展变化等已知的信息,推断出作者暗含的意思。
解题的关键在于要特别注意文章中能够表明作者观点、立场的动词、名词、形容词和副词等。
例如第25题,根据第二段中的“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.”可知,作者与保罗在荧幕前和荧幕后都很幽默、有进取心,并互开对方的玩笑,即他们两人有相似的性格,因此就不难推断出答案为D。

Interruptions are one of the worst things to deal with while you’re trying to get work done. 36 ,there are several ways to handle things.Let’s take a look at them now.
37 .Tell the person you’re sorry and explain that you have a million things to do and then ask if the two of you can talk at a different time.
When people try to interrupt you,have set hours planned and let them know to come back during that time or that you’ll find them then. 38 .It can help to eliminate(消除) future
When you need to talk to someone,don’t do it in your own office. 39 ,it’s much easier to excuse yourself to get back to your work than if you try to get someone out of your space even after explaining how busy you are.
If you have a door to your office,make good use of it. 40 .If someone knocks and it’s not an important matter,excuse yourself and let the person know you’re busy so they can get the hint(暗示) that when the door is closed,you’re not to be disturbed.
A.If you’re busy,don’t feel bad about saying no
B.When you want to avoid interruptions at work
C.Set boundaries for yourself as far as your time goes
D.If you’re in the other person’s office or in a public area

G.Leave it open when you’re available to talk and close it when you’re not
语篇解读本文是一篇说明文。
文章主要就如何在工作中避免受到打扰提出了几点建议。
36.答案 B
解析解本题可用关联逻辑法。
空格后说“有几种方法来处理这些情况”,B项“当你想在工作中避免受到打扰时”与上下文衔接紧密,故为答案。
37.答案 A
解析解本题可用设题位置法。
设空处位于段首,根据后文提到的“告诉对方你很抱歉、向对方解释你有很多事情要做以及另约时间”可知,本段讲述的是在自己很忙的时候不要不好意思拒绝,故选A项。
38.答案 E
解析解本题可用关联逻辑法。
空格前说“当人们试图打扰你时,你要确定好时间,让他们知道什么时候回来找你或者你去找他们”,空格后说“这样做能帮你消除未来受到打扰的可能”,E项“让他们知道你什么时候有空非常重要”与上下文衔接紧密,故为答案。
39.答案 D
解析解本题可用词汇锁定法。
空格前的“in your own office”与D项中的“in the other person’s office”相对应。
D项“如果你在别人的办公室或者公共区域”与空格后的内容衔接紧密,故为答案。
40.答案G
解析解本题可用句意判断法。
根据空格前的“如果你的办公室有门,那么就好好利用它”可知,本段主要讲述如何利用办公室的门来避免受到打扰,故选G项。
借助词汇复现,巧解七选五
词汇复现不是指词语的简单再现,而是指某个词语可以以不同的词类、词性、数、格、时态及语态等形式出现。
如:read,reading,readers。
有时也会以同义词或反义词的形式出现。
这是解题的一个很好的判断线索。
注意以下几点:
1.做题时,着重阅读选项的前后两句,锁定关键词,然后在选项中找出相关特征词。
如第39题,空格前出现了“in your own office”,其中office是提示关键词,与D项中“in the other person’s office”中的office相呼应,由此可以判断出答案为D项。
2.关键词包括句中的核心名词或名词词组(如带有形容词的名词词组)、专有名词等。
3.正确选项中的关键词一般重复上一句的关键词,也与下一句的关键词相呼应,或者是与关键词有关联的词。
如第40题,空格前一句中提到a door,空格后一句中提到knock(敲门),所以答案中肯定含有与door相关的词汇,而G项中的open,close正好与此相关,故正确答案为G项。
Ⅰ.词汇积累
1.agent n.代理人;代理商
2.stand up for支持;拥护;坚持
3.be respectful of尊重……
4.dig into挖掘;钻研
5.cut sb.short打断某人
Ⅱ.句式升级

2.We shared the belief that if you’re fortunate enough to have success,you should put something back.(把that从句由同位语改为宾语)

A
(2018·安徽皖南八校联考)
He was there every morning,sitting motionless on the front steps of his house.In the morning light,I could see the shadows that were etched(蚀刻) deep within the lines surrounding his eyes.
Each morning I walked this route with my daughter to her kindergarten class.We were new to the neighborhood so that I didn’t know many of my neighbors.On one beautiful autumn morning,as we passed his house,my daughter called out to him,“Hi,Mr Man!” Always the outgoing child,I wasn’t surprised at her enthusiasm.But her cheerfulness soon faded when the man didn’t look at her and say “Hi” back.
As we continued on our walk to school,my daughter asked why the man didn’t want to say hi to her.Because I didn’t have an answer,I said simply,“Maybe he is having a bad day.”Later I knew that Bob lost his wife in a car accident.
A few days later,as we approached Bob’s house on our way to school,my daughter called out “Hi,Mr Man!” and as usual,he didn’t respond.But then she ran onto his front lawn and picked up a beautiful red autumn leaf.She continued up one step and handed it to him.I held my breath.
As she skipped back to me,she said,“See you tomorrow,Mr Man!” This time,he acknowledged her.In a soft gentle voice,he thanked her and said,“See you tomorrow.”
From then on,Bob and my daughter exchanged greetings each morning.Our friendship with Bob continued for many years.But,the sweetest day is when Bob attended my daughter’s high school graduation.Bob gave my daughter a gift—a book on identifying various plants and trees.There,tucked in the pages that described an oak tree,was the leaf my daughter had given to Mr Man when they first met.He had dried and pressed it and kept it all those years.

As more people opt for the single life,adult friendships also grow more important.For people in relationships,having a reliable group is important,too—your mate will be much happier if you’re spreading your anxieties beyond his or her ears and you will also feel better.
In a recent study,researchers made some fascinating findings about how “who we are”informs the friendships we hold.The study was based on the most popular personality construct in contemporary psychology,the Big 5 personality traits(特征):extraversion,or how much you love attention and interacting with people;neuroticism,or how easily worried you are by things; agreeableness,or how warm and kind you are; conscientiousness,or how careful you are about life’s many duties; and openness to experience,or how much you’re into discovering new things,whether they’re ideas,people,or places.
For their study,the research team recruited 434 students.They took a personality questionnaire in the lab,then rated how satisfied they were with their friends and their life overall,and then researchers asked them to recommend half a dozen friends to rate their personality.Gathering these ratings together,the researchers found that openness to experience didn’t have anything to do with friendship satisfaction,at least in this study.Neuroticism was linked to lower satisfaction (probably because emotionally unstable people may be dramatic or hard to please,at least in my personal experience).But having high scores in the three remaining sunny traits—conscientiousness,extra version,and agreeableness—predicted higher friendship satisfaction.However,it’s a pretty intuitive(直觉的) result,since it’s easy to be friends with someone who’s always on time,always saying that you’re right,and always up to hang out.But if you don’t exactly identify with all that,fear not:Your personality is so much more than your traits.

Integrity
Integrity is the quality of being honest and strong about what you believe to be right.The concept of integrity has played a key role in moral philosophy throughout history and is promoted in all societies because of its importance to social relations.Individual integrity is vital to society,one that enables people to make use of their capacity for critical reflection,does not force people to take up particular roles and does not encourage individuals to betray each other.Besides,societies can be favorable to the development of individual integrity.
Individual integrity can lift up the spirits of the entire society.It can shape the lives of people living in a particular society,the lives of all fellow people and,in its broadest sense,even the destiny(命运) of a nation.By contrast,if those living in the society are corrupt,it could have bad effects,jeopardizing the healthy morality of the society.
On the other hand,a society can be favorable to the development of individual integrity.Society expects and requires integrity.A society consisting of people of integrity,and people who never compromise on their principles,could have a positive mark on the personal development of its members.Being a part of such a morally lively community could serve as a basis for absorbing traits of good character.This could be of a distinct advantage to any individuals in the society.
However,some social structures are of the wrong sort for some individuals to pursue(追求) integrity.If that is the case,we have to ask questions about the moral nature of society first before raising questions about individual integrity.Questions about integrity may turn out to be about what kind of society it is,rather than about the relationship between individual interests and characteristics of a society.The pursuit of adequate individual integrity often depends,not so much on understanding who one is and what one believes and is committed to,but rather understanding what one’s society is and imagining what it could be.
Under no circumstances can we underestimate the importance of human integrity in a society.People,who are honest,trustworthy,compassionate and caring,are the factors decisive in the growth of individuals as well as the development of a society.
