10.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.

分析 這是一篇記敘文.本文講述了作者小時候為了避暑和弟弟到電影院去一遍一遍看電影,以至于多年時候還記得電影里面的歌曲和對白,表達(dá)了自己對以往那段在電影院里度過的時光的懷念之情.
解答 46.C.細(xì)節(jié)理解題.注意題干問的信息:作者住帶有空調(diào)的地方是哪一年?由文中第一段第二行"This was 1962 and I would not live in a place with an air conditioner for another ten years."可知,"我還要10年才能住有空調(diào)的房子."很多同學(xué)沒有理解句意,而選A.1962+10=1972.故選C
47.D.指代判斷題.由第三段第三句和第四句"Then,we sat and watched The Music Man followed by The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance.We have already seen the second movie once more."可知,it指的是這兩部電影中的第二部電影即The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance.故選D.
48.B.細(xì)節(jié)理解題.由第三段最后一句"…because Mr.Bellow loved anything with John Wayne in it."可知,Mr.Bellow很喜歡John Wayne.故選B.
49.B.細(xì)節(jié)理解題.由第二段第一句可知,在這炎熱的夏天電影院是你可以一坐一整天的為數(shù)不多的地方,最重要的是這里有空調(diào),所以作者和弟弟到電影院區(qū)的目的是為了避暑.故選B.
50.D.判斷推理題.最后一段中作者說時至今日他仍然會唱The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance里的歌,會背誦里面的對白,很少會記起1962年的熱浪但是會時常記起這部電影,說明作者很懷念那段在電影院度過的時光.故選D.
點評 本文是一篇故事類閱讀.這類文章一般描述的是某一件具體事情的發(fā)生發(fā)展或結(jié)局,有人物、時間、地點和事件.命題往往從故事的情節(jié)、人物或事件的之間的關(guān)系、作者的態(tài)度及意圖、故事前因和后果的推測等方面著手,考查學(xué)生對細(xì)節(jié)的辨認(rèn)能力以及推理判斷能力.
