All American dollar bills(纸币)weigh the same, they’re the same size, and they’re made of the same material. “There are no physical marks for those with vision(视力)loss, who need an effective means of knowing how much it is, a $1 or a $100?” explains Vencer Cotton, director of technology and training at the Columbia Lighthouse for the Bind in Washington D.C.

NOW there is something that comes pretty close. Meet the iBill, a piece of plastic about the size of a large cigarette lighter. Equipped with one AAA battery, a couple of buttons and a speaker, the iBill is designed to be simple. A narrow opening allows for a U..S. Bill to be placed inside and upon scanning, it will say the amount the bill is worth. However, even though the iBill can do that job for you, it doesn’t mean it’ll tell you if a bill is real or even how much you have.

Created by Orbit Research, it will be the first money reader distributed by the U.S.Bureau of engraving and Printing (BEP). THE BUREAU WILL SOON BE SHIPPING iBills, free of charge, across the country. “It is my No. 1 choice,” Cotton says of the iBill, especially when it comes to sorting money as fast as possible.”

There are actually a bunch of apps(应用程序)that can do what the iBill ca, made convenient by the iPhone’s voiceover functions. In particular, EyeNote was also developed by the U.S. BEP to help distinguish bills. Another app, called LookTel, offers recognition for a large number of countries’ bills and VisionHunt distinguishes different kinds of bills and offers many tools to the blind. “But a lot of blind people can’t afford an iPhone,” says Shawn Callaway, president of the National Federation of the Blind of Washington D.C.

1.The iBill was invented to .

A. pay for things at certain shops

B. help children sort out their money

C. help the blind recognize their money

D. tell whether a dollar bill is real or not

2.What can we learn about the iBill?

A. It is unbreakable.

B. It can’t calculate.

C. It can light a cigarette.

D. It costs a lot of money.

3.Compared with other apps, the iBill .

A. is much easier for poor people to accept

B. offers more useful functions to the blind

C. is the only one developed by the U.S. BEP

D. can tell the differences between many foreign bills

4.What is the purpose of this text?

A. To encourage people to help the blind.

B. To talk about American dollar bills.

C. To ask people to buy the iBill.

D. To introduce a hi-tech tool.

我与Paul Newman之间的深厚友情

291

★★★☆☆

7分钟

(2017·新课标全国卷II,B)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 the 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 had 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.
