阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳答案。 （2017·新课标II卷）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 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 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 have 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.

语法填空 Everyone likes to have friends 1 are trustworthy. When what we say matches what we do, we earn trust and friendship. On the contrary(与此相反), once we break our word, nobody will ever trust 2 again. For example, if you are 3 untrustworthy worker, you are less likely to get a promotion. Therefore, the 4 (important) of keeping one’s word cannot be stressed too much. I once had the unpleasant experience of someone breaking his promise to me. Last month, everyone in my class had to gather at school 5 6:30 AM for our 6 (graduate) trip. My friend Ben asked me 7 (meet) him at McDonald’s at six, but he never showed up. I was 8 (depress) that when I called him, he told me he was already at school. I 9 (rush) straight there, but all my classmates still blamed me for delaying the trip. After that, I ended my friendship with Ben because I don’t need 10 (friend) who can’t keep their word.
