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.
4. Why was the studio unwilling to give the role to 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.
5. Why did Paul and the author have a lasting friendship

D. They han similar charactertics.

B. Their care for children.
C. Their success.
D. Their support for each other.

While it’s true that introverts tend to enjoy alone time, it’s not true they dislike people or social environments. Just because you show more reservation than enthusiasm in these settings, it doesn’t mean you need to change or that you can’t make new friends. Kat Vellos, a speaker and connection coach, advises introverts to “Resist pressure from the outside world and don’t hide your true nature or force yourself to be extroverted.”
Danielle Bayard Jackson, a friendship coach, says that introverts can be good friends. “I think we sometimes joke about them being incapable or not knowing what to do…and they actually have a lot of superpowers that we don’t give credit(赞扬)to. They’re very observant. They’re really good listeners. And I think that makes for really good friends.” So, how can introverts use their strengths and make new friends in the process
“One of my favorite ways to do this is by going to a social event, then camping out on the edge with other highly sensitive people who don’t want to be in the center of the action.” Vellos, who is an introvert herself, says. “The kitchen and the edge of the yard are where I’ve often found the best conversations and feelings of connection at an otherwise overwhelming(令人难以应对的)party.”
The key for introverts is to be mindful of how they spend their energy so that when they spend it, they spend it well. “If you know you have a small social battery and you can show up for one hour after which it’ll be overwhelming for you, make good use of that information about yourself.” Jackson says. “If you know you only have an hour to spend, choose carefully the things that you say yes to.”
As an introvert, you feel and think deeply, so this means that you have the rare(罕见的)ability to go deeper more quickly with someone new. An hour or two nay be just the amount of time you need.
8. What is Vellos’ suggestion for introverts
A. Change yourself to make personal relationships better. B. Make friends with more extroverts.
C Organize various social events. D. Accept who you really are.
9. What does Jackson say about introverts in paragraph 2
A. They prefer to enjoy alone time.
B. They are incapable of making new friends.
C. They have many advantages that are often ignored.
D. They are more popular than extroverts in the workplace.
10. What does Vellos prefer to do when she attends a big party
A. Stay with other introverts in less crowded places.
B. Invite other introverts to go camping with her.
C. Have conversations with sociable guests.
D. Give a hand in the kitchen.
11. Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A. Why we need introverted friends
B. How to make friends as an introvert
C. Ways of getting along with introverts
D. Differences between introverts and extroverts
D
A charming three-story home sits at the corner of 10th and Center streets on the Georgia Instiute of Technology (Georgin Tech) campus in Atlanta. From the outside, it appears just like any other home, but inside, Georgia Tech researchers are testing and developing advanced devices to determine which can make the home safer and smarter — for older adults.
The house is actually a living lab, called the Aware Home, and research conducted there has revealed (显示) many top home related concerns among older adults — unattended cooking, water left running, TVs left on... and doors left unlocked.
Now, some in home technologies are in development — or on the market — to address those concerns.
One new device called Inirv React connects your stove (炉具) to a sensor in your home and a smartphone app. The sensor will automatically turn the stove off if it no longer detects movement around the appliance after a certain period of time. You can also turn the stove off using your smartphone.
Devices of the future are expected to collect and use date to become smarter, according to Elizabeth Mynatt, a professor at Georgia Tech. “They will learn more about your habits, your likes, your dislikes, your routines, when you’re most likely to forget to take your medicine, what are the aspects (方面) of your health that need the most attention,” she said.
With any technology, “most people ask that question ‘How invasive (侵扰的) is it ’. But what we hear from older adults is that they value the security and the safety that the technology provides for them,” Mynatt said.
75- year-old Albert Bolet of Atlanta thinks most older adults are typically ready to bring technology into their homes. “People have the misguided impression that seniors are opposed to technology.” said Bolet. “We do understand wireless technology, and we understand how these things will make things easier. Being independent is most important in the mind of anybody that gets to be our age or older.”
12. What is the Aware Home
A. A smart house. B. A research lab.
C. A nursing home. D. A science museum.
13. What will Inirv React do when it senses no movement around a stove for long
A Turn the stove off directly.
B. Give out a warning sound.
C. Activate a sensor in the house.
D. Send a message to a connected phone.
14 What will future smart home devices be like according to Mynatt
A. They will provide medical advice.
B. They will be more like caregivers.
C. They will become more personalized.
D. They will replace caregivers in most case.
15. What did Atbert Bolet say about most seniors
A. They are willing to use smart home devices.
B. They find it hard to keep up with new technology.
C. They prefer a simple life without technology.
D. They are becoming more dependent on the Internet.

4. Why was the studio unwilling to give the role to author at first

B. The studio powers didn’t like his agent.
C. He wasn’t famous enough.
D. The director recommended someone else.
5. Why did Paul and the author have a lasting friendship

【答案】4. C 5. D 6. A 7. B
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了作者与Paul Newman之间的深厚友情。当制片人不想让我参演电影时，Paul Newman站出来为我说话，两人因此而建立了深厚的友谊。在此后的很多年里，两人一直相互扶持，相互鼓励，因此两人的深厚友情维系了很多年。
【4题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段的“When the studio didn’t want me for the film— it wanted somebody as well known as Paul”制片人不想要我，他想要当时比较出名的演员Paul,因此，可知作者当时还不是很有名。故选C。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段的“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Paul之间有着相似的性格特征，这让他们的友谊天长地久。故选D。
【6题详解】
词义猜测题。根据“We shared the brief that if you’re fortunate enough to have success, you should put something back”，我们都有这个信仰：如果你有幸获得成功，你应该有所回馈。下文“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”是作者举的例子，因此“sharing that brought us together.”that指代前面提到的信仰。故选A。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。根据最后一段“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”可知Paul已经去世了，再结合前文“I first met Paul Newman in 1968”，可推断作者写文章是为了怀念这位朋友。故选B。
【点睛】在完成推理题时，要特别注意排除干扰项。
如小题1中的A项“Paul Newman wanted it.”属于“颠倒黑白”类干扰项，根据“When the studio didn’t want me for the film— it wanted somebody as well known as Paul”可知制片人不想要我，他想要当时比较出名的演员Paul，说明A项明显错误。
干扰项的设置方法除了“颠倒黑白”之外，通常还有以下几种方式：
1. 张冠李戴。命题者把文章作者的观点与他人的观点混淆起来，题干问的是作者的观点，选项中出现的却是他人的观点；或者题干问的是他人的观点，却把作者的观点放到选项中去。
2. 偷梁换柱。干扰项用了与原文相似的句型结构和大部分相似的词汇，却在不易引人注意的地方换了几个词汇，造成句意的改变。
3. 无中生有。干扰项往往是生活的基本常识和普遍接受的观点，但在原文中并无相关的信息支持点，这种选项的设置往往与问题的设问毫不相干。
4. 以偏概全。考生在做猜测文章中心思想、给文章添加标题或判断推理题时，往往会犯以偏概全的错误。产生这类错误的原因是考生受思维定势的影响或考虑不周，以局部代替整体。其具体表现为合理关联与不合理关联、准确概括与不准确概括之间的错位。不合理关联就是表层理解与深层理解相混淆。表层理解是对文章中客观事实的感知和记忆，往往是文章直接表述的结论；深层理解则是对文章中的客观事实进行逻辑推理、总结或概括后得出的结论。不准确概括是指不能准确地按题目要求概括或提取文中的表层或深层信息。

D
A charming three-story home sits at the corner of 10th and Center streets on the Georgia Instiute of Technology (Georgin Tech) campus in Atlanta. From the outside, it appears just like any other home, but inside, Georgia Tech researchers are testing and developing advanced devices to determine which can make the home safer and smarter — for older adults.
The house is actually a living lab, called the Aware Home, and research conducted there has revealed (显示) many top home related concerns among older adults — unattended cooking, water left running, TVs left on... and doors left unlocked.
Now, some in home technologies are in development — or on the market — to address those concerns.
One new device called Inirv React connects your stove (炉具) to a sensor in your home and a smartphone app The sensor will automatically turn the stove off if it no longer detects movement around the appliance after a certain period of time. You can also turn the stove off using your smartphone.
Devices of the future are expected to collect and use date to become smarter, according to Elizabeth Mynatt, a professor at Georgia Tech. “They will learn more about your habits, your likes, your dislikes, your routines, when you’re most likely to forget to take your medicine, what are the aspects (方面) of your health that need the most attention,” she said.
With any technology, “most people ask that question ‘How invasive (侵扰的) is it ’. But what we hear from older adults is that they value the security and the safety that the technology provides for them,” Mynatt said.
75- year-old Albert Bolet of Atlanta thinks most older adults are typically ready to bring technology into their homes. “People have the misguided impression that seniors are opposed to technology.” said Bolet. “We do understand wireless technology, and we understand how these things will make things easier. Being independent is most important in the mind of anybody that gets to be our age or older.”
12. What is the Aware Home
A. A smart house. B. A research lab.
C. A nursing home. D. A science museum.
13. What will Inirv React do when it senses no movement around a stove for long
A. Turn the stove off directly.
B. Give out a warning sound.
C. Activate a sensor in the house.
D. Send a message to a connected phone.
14. What will future smart home devices be like according to Mynatt
A. They will provide medical advice.
B. They will be more like caregivers.
C. They will become more personalized.
D. They will replace caregivers in most case.
15. What did Atbert Bolet say about most seniors
A. They are willing to use smart home devices.
B. They find it hard to keep up with new technology.
C. They prefer a simple life without technology.
D. They are becoming more dependent on the Internet.

【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“From the outside, it appears just like any other home, but inside, Georgia Tech researchers are testing and developing advanced devices to determine which can make the home safer and smarter — for older adults. (从外表上看，它看起来和其他任何家庭一样，但在内部，佐治亚理工大学的研究人员正在测试和开发先进的设备，以确定哪种设备可以让老年人的家更安全、更智能)”以及第二段“The house is actually a living lab, called the Aware Home(这所房子实际上是一个生活实验室，名为Aware Home)”可知，Aware Home是一个研究实验室，故选B项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“One new device called Inirv React connects your stove (炉具) to a sensor in your home and a smartphone app. The sensor will automatically turn the stove off if it no longer detects movement around the appliance after a certain period of time.(一种名为Inirv React的新设备连接您的炉灶 连接到家中的传感器和智能手机应用程序。如果传感器在一段时间后不再检测到电器周围的移动，它将自动关闭炉子)”可知，当Inirv React长时间感觉不到炉子周围有任何东西移动时，它会直接关闭炉子，故选A项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段“Devices of the future are expected to collect and use date to become smarter, according to Elizabeth Mynatt, a professor at Georgia Tech. “They will learn more about your habits, your likes, your dislikes, your routines, when you’re most likely to forget to take your medicine, what are the aspects (方面) of your health that need the most attention,”(佐治亚理工大学教授Elizabeth Mynatt表示，未来的设备有望收集和使用数据，使其变得更智能。“他们会更多地了解你的习惯，你的好恶，你的日常生活，你最有可能忘记服药的时候，你的健康最需要关注的方面是什么。”)”可推理出，未来的智能家居设备将会变得更加个性化，故选C项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“75 -year-old Albert Bolet of Atlanta thinks most older adults are typically ready to bring technology into their homes.(亚特兰大75岁的Albert Bolet认为，大多数老年人通常已经准备好将技术带入他们的家中。)”以及“We do understand wireless technology, and we understand how these things will make things easier. Being independent is most important in the mind of anybody that gets to be our age or older.(我们确实了解无线技术，我们知道这些东西会让事情变得更容易。在任何与我们同龄或年长的人心中，独立是最重要的。)”可推理出，Atbert Bolet认为大部分老年人愿意使用智能家居设备，故选A项。

【答案】The next day Emily nervously glanced at the list on the door of the choral room. She was not rejected this time. Her name was posted at the top of the list. She, Emily White, was chosen to be the leading singer! She would sing alone in the performance. Emily couldn't believe her eyes. There must be some mistake. But Mr Buttler said to her with determined eyes, "Emily, I choose you because you should perform the part ---your voice is unusual. Believe in yourself. " Greatly encouraged, Emily practiced really hard.
Finally the day of performance came. Standing in front of the line, Emily felt her throat tight and her palms sweating. When the curtain opened up, the eyes of the whole audience fell upon Emily. "Emily White! "Someone whispered. Then, along with the first note of music, Emily began to sing her heart out. Her voice was like a nightingale ringing in the auditorium. Applause! Emily felt so happy and comfortable. She was shining on the stage. Emily White, with so many birth problems in her body was an angel!
