11.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.

解答 24-27 CDAB
24.C.推理判斷題.根據(jù)"When the studio didn't want me for the film-it wanted somebody as well known as Paul-he stood up for me."可知電影制片廠不想讓我演這部電影,他們想要一個像保羅一樣出名的人,所以我不出名.故選C.
25.D.細(xì)節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)"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."可知作者和保羅有相似的性格,有著深厚的感情.故選D.
26.A.推理判斷題.根據(jù)"We shared the brief"和"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."可知雖然不見面但是共同的信仰讓我們走到了一起,所以這里的that指的是信仰.故選A.
27.B.判斷作者意圖題.縱覽全文并根據(jù)"Ours was a relationship that didn't need a lot of words."可知作者寫作的目的就是為了紀(jì)念他的朋友保羅.故選B.
