2025届高考英语二轮复习之阅读理解“典型技巧”高效练典型技巧07文章特点与意图推理含解析

典型技巧07文章特点与意图推理【考情角度】考情分析抒情类记叙文在叙述的过程中蕴含着某种情感，无论友情或关爱都体现了正能量。叙事是一种手段，抒情才是目的。考查角度常考查细微环节理解题、隐含推断题，间或考查写作意图题。【真题再现】(2024·全国卷Ⅱ·B)主题语境：人际沟通eq\o(IfirstmetPaulNewmanin1968,\s\do14(时间1))，whenGeorgeRoyHill,thedirectorofButchCassidyandtheSundanceKid,introducedusinNewYorkCity.Whenthestudiodidn'twantmeforthefilm—itwantedsomebodyaswell­knownasPaul—heeq\a\vs4\al(stoodupfor)me.Idon'tknowhowmanypeoplewouldhavedonethat;theywouldhavelistenedtotheiragentsorthestudiopowers.ThefriendshipthatgrewoutoftheexperienceofmakingthatfilmandTheStingeq\o(fouryearslater,\s\do14(时间2))haditsrootinthefactthatalthoughtherewasanagedifference,webothcamefromatraditionoftheaterandliveTV.Wewereeq\a\vs4\al(respectfulof)craft(技艺)andfocusedoneq\a\vs4\al(digginginto)thecharactersweweregoingtoplay.Bothofushadthequalitiesandeq\a\vs4\al(virtues)thataretypicalofAmericanactors:humorous,aggressive,andmakingfunofeachother—butalwayswithaneq\a\vs4\al(underlying)affection.Thosewerealsoatthecore(核心)ofourrelationshipoffthescreen.Wesharedthebeliefthatifyou'refortunateenoughtohavesuccess,youshouldputsomethingback—hewithhisNewman'sOwnfoodandhisHoleintheWallcampsforkidswhoareseriouslyill,andmewithSundanceandtheinstituteandthefestival.PaulandIdidn'tseeeachotherallthatregularly,butsharingthatbroughtustogether.Wesupportedeachothereq\a\vs4\al(financially)andbyeq\o(showingup,\s\do14(时间3))atevents.eq\o(Ilastsawhimafewmonthsago.,\s\do14(时间4))He'dbeeninandoutofthehospital.HeandIbothknewwhatthedealwas,andwedidn'ttalkaboutit.Ourswasarelationshipthatdidn'tneedalotofwords.1.Whywasthestudioeq\a\vs4\al(unwillingtogivetheroletotheauthoratfirst)？A.PaulNewmanwantedit.B.Thestudiopowersdidn'tlikehisagent.C.Hewasn'tfamousenough.D.Thedirectorrecommendedsomeoneelse.2.WhydidPaulandtheauthorhaveaeq\a\vs4\al(lastingfriendship)？A.Theywereofthesameage.
