記敘文 | 我與Paul Newman之間的深厚友情 | 291 | ★★★☆☆ | 7分鐘 |
(2017·新課標全國卷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 brief 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.
1.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.
2.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.
3.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.
4.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.

You may laugh it off if someone told you that extreme weather disasters were actually a child’s tricks. But El Nino, meaning "little boy" in Spanish, could be about to cause trouble.
A recent statement from the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration warned of a strong El Nino event that may be similar to the strongest in modern times. Scientists believe that evidence shows a more than 90 percent chance that it is coming – and it’s going to be big. "If this lives up to its potential, this thing can bring a lot of floods, mudslides (泥石流), and trouble," said Bill Patzert, a NASA scientist.
El Nino is a climate event occurring in the Pacific Ocean. The wind usually blows strongly from east to west due to the rotation (旋轉(zhuǎn)) of the Earth. This causes water to pile up in the Western Pacific and pulls up colder water from the bottom in the eastern part. However, in El Nino years, the winds pushing the water get weaker and cause the warmer water to shift back toward the east. This warms the ocean as it travels before finally reaching the shores of North and South America. In an El Nino event, the waters of the eastern Pacific can be up to 4 degrees Celsius warmer than usual.
Most El Ninos last from 9 to 12 months and their effects are felt around December. They don’t happen every year though, usually between every two to seven years.
Last seen in 1997-98, El Nino caused severe droughts in Australia, the Philippines and Indonesia, as well as deadly floods in Peru and Ecuador. The world also heats up during an ElNino – 1998 became the warmest year on record at the time. If the current trend continues, 2015 is almost certainly to become the hottest year yet again.
A strong El Nino also affects hurricane seasons around the planet. The warmer the Eastern Pacific is, the more hurricanes it gets. The Western Pacific, on the other hand, tends to see more and stronger typhoons.
The weather isn’t the only thing that’s affected. Warmer surface waters in the Eastern Pacific make the cold-water fish swim away and damage the fishing industry in much of Latin America.
【題文1】 What is the text mainly about?
A. El Nino and its harmful effects. B. Extreme weather disasters ever.
C. The hottest years ever in history. D. The strongest El Nino in history.
【題文2】Which of the following statements is TRUE about El Nino?
A. It results from hurricanes or typhoons in the oceans.
B. It happens every two years and last about half a year.
C. It is a weather phenomenon occurring in the Atlantic.
D. It can cause extreme weather, such as floods and droughts.
【題文3】 During an El Nino year, ________.
A. the wind blows so strongly that it causes the water to pile up
B. the fishing industry in much of Latin America is likely to suffer
C. the more typhoons it experiences, the warmer the Western Pacific is
D. the surface water in the Eastern Pacific usually gets colder than ever
【題文4】 El Nino in fact results from ________.
A. a little Spanish child’s trick
B. the natural rotating of the Earth
C.an American expert’s prediction
D. the weaker winds in the Pacific

The human athlete has a special trick that no other animal has. It is called self-talk. Athletes talk to themselves to warm up, to focus and to help themselves believe they will win. A few simple words like “I can do it!” and “It is now or never!” can make the difference between winning gold or not.
Self-talk is also used by speakers, actors and other performers. Before a speech, politicians believe that their words will win votes. And, self-talk helps students stay calm even when stumped by hard exam questions. Self-talk is a life skill you can use wherever you are, whenever you need it.
The whole idea of talking to themselves seems strange to many people. Imagine your teacher saying, “For homework, talk to yourself for half an hour tonight.” You might think he is playing a joke on your class. Instead, adults teach kids all about talking to other people. There are many books on why, when, what and how to communicate with the rest of the world. Thus, you can grow up knowing a lot more about people around you than about yourself.
It is good to speak and listen to others. But there is great value in making time to listen to yourself. When you do, you get to know yourself better. Along the way, you may discover the power you have for using words well.
Such ideas are so exciting to psychologists that they have been trying to learn more about self-talk. In the study, people found certain lost items at home more easily when they talked to themselves while searching for the things.
1.By saying “It is now or never!”, the athlete means that “________”.
A. the time is valuable B. it is possible to win gold
C. I must try my best to win D. it is never too late to learn
2.What is the main idea of paragraph 2?
A. Self-talk makes a speech wonderful.
B. Self-talk is helpful for different people.
C. Self-talk helps the students pass the exam.
D. Self-talk is especially important for performers.
3.Why do many of us learn less about ourselves?
A. We don’t like doing the homework.
B. We don’t know how to talk to ourselves.
C. There are no books about ourselves.
D. We spend too much time in learning other people.
