　　二、阅读理解

　　It was one of those terribly hot days in Baltimore. Needless to say, it was too hot to do anything outside. But it was also scorching in our apartment. This was 1962, and I would not live in a place with an air conditioner for another ten years. So my brother and I decided to leave the apartment to find someplace indoors. He suggested we could see a movie. It was a brilliant plan.

　　Movie theaters were one of the few places you could sit all day and—most important—sit in air conditioning. In those days, you could buy one ticket and sit through two movies.Then, the theater would show the same two movies again. If you wanted to, you could sit through them twice. Most people did not do that, but the manager at our theater, Mr. Bellow, did not mind if you did.

　　That particular day, my brother and I sat through both movies twice, trying to escape the heat. We bought three bags of popcorn and three sodas each. Then, we sat and watched The Music Man followed by The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance.We'd already seen the second movie once before. It had been at the theater since January, because Mr. Bellow loved anything with John Wayne in it.

　　We left the theater around 8, just before the evening shows began. But we returned the next day and saw the same two movies again, twice more. And we did it the next day too. Finally, on the fourth day, the heat wave broke.

　　Still, to this day I can sing half the songs in The Music Man and recite half of John Wayne and Jimmy Stewart's dialogue from The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance! Those memories are some of the few I have of the heat wave of 1962. They're really memories of the screen, not memories of my life.

　　本文讲述了作者和作者的兄弟为了逃避酷暑，一连几天在电影院把两部相同的电影看了一遍又一遍，直到耳熟能详。

　　1．In which year did the author first live in a place with an air conditioner?

　　A. 1952. B. 1962.

　　C. 1972. D. 1982.

　　答案　C

　　解析　从第一段中的“This was 1962, and I would not live in a place with an air conditioner for another ten years”可选C。

　　2．What does the underlined word “It” in Paragraph 3 refer to?

　　A. The heat.

　　B. The theater.

　　C. The Music Man.

　　D. The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance.

　　答案　D

　　解析　根据第三段中的“Then, we sat and watched The Music Man followed by The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance. We'd already seen the second movie once before.”可知It指的是第二部电影The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance。

　　3．What do we know about Mr. Bellow?

　　A. He loved children very much.

　　B. He was a fan of John Wayne.

　　C. He sold air conditioners.

　　D. He was a movie star.

　　答案　B

　　解析　根据第三段中的“... because Mr. Bellow loved anything with John Wayne in it”可知Mr. Bellow很喜欢John Wayne，故选B。

　　4．Why did the author and his/her brother see the same movies several times?

　　A. The two movies were really wonderful.

　　B. They wanted to avoid the heat outside.

　　C. The manager of the theater was friendly.

　　D. They liked the popcorn and the soda at the theater.

　　答案　B

　　解析　根据第一段中的“scorching” (＝very hot)以及第二段中的“Movie theaters were one of the few places you could sit all day and — most important — sit in air conditioning”可推知，他们的目的是避暑。

　　5．What can we learn from the last paragraph?

　　A. The author turned out to be a great singer.

　　B. The author enjoyed the heat wave of 1962.

　　C. The author's life has been changed by the two movies.

　　D. The author considers the experience at the theater unforgettable.

　　答案　D

　　解析　最后一段作者说到时至今日他仍然会唱The man who shot Liberty Valance里的歌，会背诵里面的对白，很少会说起1962年的热浪，但是会时常说起这部电影，说明作者很怀念那段在电影院度过的时光。

　　答案与解析　

　　本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。作者通过帮助Mark提高他的ACT成绩，最终使Mark实现了上大学的梦想，改变了他的命运。这使作者真正理解了“Pay day doesn't always come on Mondays”的真正含义。

　　1．A　根据前面的“Crime，drugs，fighting and poverty”及结合选项可知，这些都是Mark身上的问题。故选A项。

　　2．C　句意为：教育基金会给他提供了上Catholic中学的学费。A项意为“借出”；B项意为“收到”；C项意为“提供”；D项意为“捐赠”。根据句意可知，C项符合语境。故选C项。

　　3．B　根据上文的“he was a great baseball player”及下文的“...in the classroom, though”可知，空格处与“great”形成对比。故选B项。

　　4．A　根据第一段中的“Mark was a great kid from a bad neighbourhood”可知，A项符合语境。故选A项。

　　5．D　句意为：但是找时间来做他需要做的所有事情有些困难。spend意为“花费(时间、金钱等)”；keep意为“保持，饲养”；waste意为“浪费”；find意为“找到”。There is problem (in) doing sth是习惯用法，意为“在做某事方面有困难”。故选D项。

　　6．C　句意为：有人认为Mark应该放弃体育，专心于学习。concentrate on意为“全神贯注于”，符合语境。故选C项。

　　7．B　前面说有人建议他放弃体育，而根据“But”可知，实际上他要上大学的话就不能放弃，即他需要体育。故选B项。

　　8．D　句意为：一位老师，Jones女士主动提出为Mark辅导数学。根据下文的“I helped Mark...”可知，应选D项。

　　9．C　根据下文内容可知，没有人支付“我”和Jones女士辅导Mark的费用。故选C项。

　　10．A　句意为：Jones女士这样总结说“Pay day doesn't always come on Mondays”。make up意为“编造，弥补”；put up意为“举起，容忍”；pick up意为“捡起”，均不符合语境。故选A项，意为“总结”。

　　11．B　improve skills是习惯用法，意为“提高技能”，符合语境。故选B项。

　　12．D　根据下文的“He settled on the one college that...”可知，应选D项。

　　13．C　根据语境可知，他应是选定了一所能够给他提供奖学金的大学。故选C项。

　　14．A　句意为：但是，他需要一个好的ACT成绩。根据句中“But”及选项可知，应选A项。

　　15．D　根据下文的“I got one point more than I needed to be...”可知，此处是考试的结果。故选D项。

　　16．A　根据上文的“But he

　　a good ACT score”可知，此处Mark宣布他要去上大学了，应是已经知道了分数。故选A项。

　　17．B　根据上文的“I'm going to college! I'm going to college！”可知，此处是指他超出了录取分数线一分而被录取了。故选B项。

　　18．A　句意为：直到那时我才真正理解“Pay day doesn't always come

　　on Mondays.”意味着什么。not/never... until意为“直到……才”。故选A项。

　　19．D　句意为：直到那时我才真正理解“Pay day doesn't always come on Mondays”意味着什么。根据语境可知，应选D项。

　　20．C　句意为：当Mark一进来宣布他的消息时，我明白这句话(Pay day doesn't always come on Mondays)的意思了。根据语境可知，应选C项。
