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 y

ou’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 al

l that regularly, but sharing that brought us together. We

supported each other financially and by showing up at events.

- 5 -

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 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.

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.T hey were both good actors.

D. They had similar characteristics.

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.

27.

What is the author’s purpose in writing the test?

A. To show his love of films.

B. To remember a friend.

C. To introduce a new movie.

D. To share his acting experience.

Terrafugia Inc. said Monday

that its new flying car has completed its first flight,

bringing the company closer to its goal of selling the flying car within the next year. The

vehicle-named the Transition

–

has two seats wheels and wings that fold up so it can be

- 6 -

12B-YY-0000005

driven like a car. The Transition, which flew at 1,400 feet for eight minutes last month,

can reach around 70 miles per hour on the road and 115 in the flies using a 23-gallon

tank of gas and bums 5 gallons per hour in the air. On the ground, it gets 35 miles per

gallon.

Around

100

people

have

already

put

down

a

$$10,000

deposit

to

get

a

Transition

when they go on sale, and those numbers will likely rise after Terrafugia introduces the

Transition to the public la

ter this week at the New York Auto Show. But don’t expect it

to show up in too many driveways. It’s expected to cost $$279,000.

And it won’t help if

you’re stuck in traffic. The car needs a runway.

Inventors have been trying to make flying cars since the 1930s, according to Robert

Mann,

an

airline

industry

expert.

But

Mann

thinks

Terrafugia

has

come

closer

than

anyone

to

making

the

flying

car

a

reality.

The

government

has

already

permitted

the

company to use special materials to make it easier for the vehicle to fly. The Transition

is now going through crash tests to make sure it meets federal safety standards.

Mann said Terrafugia was helped by the Federal Aviation Administration’s decision

five

years

ago

to

create

a

separate

set

of

standards

for

light

sport

aircraft,

which

are

lower than those for pilots of larger planes. Terrafugia says an owner would need to pass

a test and complete 20 hours of flying time to be able to fly the Transition, a requirement

pilots would find relatively easy to meet.

28. What is the first paragraph mainly about?

A. The basic data of the Transition.

B. The advantages of flying cars.

C. The potential market for flying cars.

C. The designers of the Transition.

29. Why is the Transition unlikely to show up in too many driveways?

A. It causers traffic jams.

B. It is difficult to operate.

C. It is very expensive.

D. It bums too much fuel.

30. What is the government’s attitude to the development of the flying car?

A. Cautious

B. Favorable.

C. Ambiguous.

D. Disapproving.

31. What is the best title for the text?

- 7 -

A. Flying Car at Auto Show

B. The Transition’s Fist Flight

C. Pilots’ Dream Coming True

D. Flying Car Closer to Reality

When

a

leafy

plant

is

under

attack

，

it

doesn’t

sit

quietly.

Back

in

1983,

two

scientists, Jack Schultz and Ian Baldwin, reported that young maple trees getting bitten

by insects send out a particular smell that neighboring plants can get. These chemicals

come from the injured parts of the plant and seem to be an alarm. What the plants pump

through the air is a mixture of chemicals known as volatile organic compounds, VOCs

for short.

Scientists have found that all kinds of plants give out VOCs when being attacked.

It’s a plant’s way of crying

out. But is anyone listening? Apparently. Because we can

watch the neighbours react.

Some plants pump out smelly chemicals to keep insects away. But others do double

duty.

They

pump

out

perfumes

designed

to

attract

different

insects

who

are

natural

enemies to the attackers. Once they arrive, the tables are turned. The attacker who are

natural

enemies

to

the

attackers.

Once

they

arrive,

the

tables

are

turned.

The

attacker

who was lunching now becomes lunch.

In study after study, it appears that these chemical conversations help the neighbors.

The

damage

is

usually

more

serious

on

the

first

plant,

but

the

neighbors,

relatively

speaking, stay safer because they heard the alarm and knew what to do.

Does this mean that plants talk to each other? Scientists

don’t

know. Maybe the firs

t plant just made a cry of pain or was sending a message to its own branches, and so, in

effect, was talking to itself. Perhaps the neighbors just happened to

“overhear”

the cry.

So information was exchanged, but it

wasn’t

a true, intentional back and forth.

Charles Darwin, over 150 years ago, imagined a world far busier, noisier and more

intimate (

亲密的

) than the world we can see and hear. Our senses are weak. There’s

a whole lot going on.

32. What does a plant do when it is under attack?

A. It makes noises.

B. It gets help from other plants.

C. It stands quietly

D. It sends out certain chemicals.

33. What does the author mean by

“the

tables are

turned”

in paragraph 3?

A. The attackers get attacked.

B. The insects gather under the table.

- 8 -

12B-YY-0000005

C. The plants get ready to fight back.

D. The perfumes attract natural enemies.

34. Scientists find from their studies that plants can .

A. predict natural disasters

B. protect themselves against insects

C. talk to one another intentionally

D. help their neighbors when necessary

35. what can we infer from the last paragraph?

A. The word is changing faster than ever.

B. People have stronger senses than before

C. The world is more complex than it seems

D. People in Darwin’s time were imaginative.
