‎2018届二轮复习 阅读理解记叙文典题10篇训练（十）‎ ‎【一】‎ Walt Disney is credited for creating such wonderful things as Donald Duck and Mickey Mouse. However, he cannot take the credit for creating other wellloved characters, such as Cinderella and Snow White. They are almost automatically associated with Disney because Disney turned old fables(寓言) into cartoon movies.‎ The original Cinderella varies very much from the Disney version we know today. It started off with the girl mourning her mother's death and going to her tomb three times a day. In addition, there were only birds that helped Cinderella; there was no such thing as a fairy godmother or helpful mice, nor was there mention of a horse and carriage.‎ The stepsisters were cruel: they always threw Cinderella's food into the ashes of the fire and made her sleep on the ashes on the floor, hence(因此) her name.‎ In the original story, the king's ball actually lasted for three days. With the help of the birds, the girl, beautifully dressed, danced with the prince on all three nights and the prince fell in love with her. However, she broke away from him to rush back home each night. On the last night, the prince placed something sticky on the stairs; as Cinderella made her escape, a shoe got stuck on it.‎ Here now is where the story becomes unpleasant: when the prince went to the house looking for the girl whose foot fitted the shoe, the wicked(邪恶的) stepmother told one of her two daughters to cut off her big toe to fit into the shoe. The daughter did as told. So the prince took her away to be his bride. But, when they passed the tomb of Cinderella's mother, the birds called out to the prince，‎ ‎“Turn and peep, there's blood within the shoe；‎ The shoe is too small, the true bride waits for you.” ‎ Realizing he had been tricked, the prince returned the daughter to her mother; the other then had to cut off part of her heel in order to fit into the shoe, with the same result. Only Cinderella's foot fitted perfectly and so the prince chose to marry her. The story ends with the wedding day: as Cinderella's two stepsisters followed her, pretending to be devoted to her so that they could enjoy the king's riches, two birds flew by and plucked(啄) out their eyes. Because of their wickedness and falsehood, they had to spend the rest of their days blind.‎ The original Cinderella is so different from the Disney version. Thank goodness Disney made such changes; it indeed was a wise move.‎ ‎60．What does the underlined word “They” in the first paragraph refer to?‎ A．Such wonderful things.‎ B．Other wellloved characters.‎ C．Old fables.‎ D．Cartoon movies.‎ ‎61．How did Cinderella get her name?‎ A．The birds came up with it.‎ B．It was given by Disney.‎ C．It came from the word “ash”．‎ D．She got it from her mother.‎ ‎62．Which of the following is TRUE according to the original story?‎ A．Helpful mice got Cinderella a beautiful dress.‎ B．The ball was held to celebrate the prince's wedding.‎ C．Cinderella left her shoe on the stairs on purpose.‎ D．The birds told the prince that he had been cheated.‎ ‎63．The moral of the original story is that ________．‎ A．a wicked person cannot escape punishment B．a devoted person certainly deserves respect C．a wellbehaved child earns a great reward D．a dishonest child cannot get mother love ‎64．What does the author think of the Disney version?‎ A．Excellent. B．Ordinary.‎ C．Dull. D．Ridiculous.‎ ‎【要点综述】 本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要介绍了最初的《灰姑娘》的故事情节与Walt Disney依据此小说而改编的卡通电影之间的异同点。‎ ‎60．B　代词指代题。依据第一段和其中的“However, he cannot…”可知，“They”不可能指代A、C、D项，而是指代上文出现的wellloved characters。‎ ‎61．C　细节理解题。根据第三段中的“…and made her sleep on the ashes on the floor, hence(因此) her name.”可知选择C项。‎ ‎62．D　推理判断题。根据第二段最后一句可知A项错误；根据第四段第一句可知B项错误；根据第四段的第四句可知C项错误；根据第五段和第六段可知D项正确。‎ ‎63．A　推理判断题。综合全文，尤其是第六段可知，邪恶的继母和继姐都受到了惩罚，故选择A项。‎ ‎64．A　推理判断题。根据最后一段可知，作者认为Disney的改编非常好，故选择A项。‎ ‎【二】‎ It was a cold winter day. A woman drove up to the Rainbow Bridge tollbooth(收费站). “I'm paying for myself, and for the six cars behind me，” she said with a smile, handing over seven tickets. One after another, the next six drivers arriving at the tollbooth were informed, “Some lady up ahead already paid your fare.”‎ It turned out that the woman, Natalie Smith, had read something on a friend's refrigerator: “Practise random kindness and senseless acts of beauty.” The phrase impressed her so much that she copied it down.‎ Judy Foreman spotted the same phrase on a warehouse wall far away from home. When it stayed on her mind for days, she gave up and drove all the way back to copy it down. “I thought it was beautiful，” she said, explaining why she'd taken to writing it at the bottom of all her letters, “like a message from above.” Her husband, Frank, liked the phrase so much that he put it up on the classroom wall for his students, one of whom was the daughter of Alice Johnson, a local news reporter. Alice put it in the newspaper, admitting that though she liked it, she didn't know where it came from or what it really meant.‎ Two days later, Alice got a call from Anne Herbert, a woman living in Marin. It was in a restaurant that Anne wrote the phrase down on a piece of paper, after turning it around in her mind for days.‎ ‎“Here's the idea，” Anne says. “Anything you think there should be more of, do it randomly.” Her fantasies include painting the classrooms of shabby schools, leaving hot meals on kitchen tables in the poor part of town, and giving money secretly to a proud old lady. Anne says, “Kindness_can_build_on_itself_as_much_as_violence_can.”‎ The acts of random kindness spread. If you were one of those drivers who found your fare ‎ paid, who knows what you might have been inspired to do for someone else later. Like all great events, kindness begins slowly, with every single act. Let it be yours!‎ ‎31. Why did Natalie Smith pay for the six cars behind her?‎ A. She knew the car drivers well.‎ B. She wanted to show kindness.‎ C. She hoped to please others.‎ D. She had seven tickets.‎ ‎32. Judy Foreman copied down the phrase because she ________.‎ A. thought it was beautifully written B. wanted to know what it really meant C. decided to write it on a warehouse wall D. wanted her husband to put it up in the classroom ‎33. Who came up with the phrase according to the passage?‎ A. Judy Foreman. B. Natalie Smith.‎ C. Alice Johnson. D. Anne Herbert.‎ ‎34. Which of the following statements is closest in meaning to the underlined sentence above?‎ A. Kindness and violence can change the world.‎ B. Kindness and violence can affect one's behaviour.‎ C. Kindness and violence can reproduce themselves.‎ D. Kindness and violence can shape one's character.‎ ‎35. What can we infer from the last paragraph?‎ A. People should practise random kindness to those in need.‎ B. People who receive kindness are likely to offer it to others.‎ C. People should practise random kindness to strangers they meet.‎ D. People who receive kindness are likely to pay it back to the giver.‎ ‎【要点综述】 这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了在收费站，一位女士给六位司机付款的善举。因为她在朋友家里的冰箱上看到了一句关于善举的美句，她认为非常有意义，促使她去帮助别人。并且此美句激发了更多的人来做善事，把爱心传递下去。‎ ‎31. B　推理判断题。根据第二段的“Natalie Smith, had read something on a friend's refrigerator: ‘Practise random kindness and senseless acts of beauty.’ The phrase impressed her so much that she copied it down.”可知Natalie因为被一句话所感动，想要传递爱心。故选B。‎ ‎32. A　细节理解题。根据第三段的“‘I thought it was beautiful，’she said…”可知Judy Foreman是由于被此美句所打动，所以将它记下来。故选A。‎ ‎33. D　细节理解题。根据第四段的“…Alice got a call from Anne Herbert, a woman living in Marin. It was in a restaurant that Anne wrote the phrase down on a piece of paper, after turning it around in her mind for days.”可知这句话的原创者是Anne Herbert。故选D。‎ ‎34. C　句意猜测题。画线句子中的build on和选项中的单词reproduce属于同义转换，意为“扩大，扩展”。故选C。‎ ‎35. B　推理判断题。根据最后一段的“If you were one of those drivers who found your fare paid, who knows what you might have been inspired to do for someone else later.”可知，当人们受到别人的帮助时，很有可能会将这样的善意以各种形式传递给其他人。故选B。D选项只表示接受帮助的人会将善意回报给帮助他的人，与原文意思不符。‎ ‎【三】‎ Like many new graduates, I left university full of hope for the future but with no real idea of what I wanted to do. My degree, with honours, in English literature had not really prepared me for anything practical. I knew I wanted to make a difference in the world somehow, but I had no idea how to do that. That's when I learned about the Lighthouse Project. ‎ I started my journey as a Lighthouse Project volunteer by reading as much as I could about the experiences of previous volunteers. I knew it would be a lot of hard work, and that I would be away from my family and friends for a very long time. In short, I did not take my decision to apply for the Lighthouse Project lightly. Neither did my family. ‎ Eventually, however, I won the support of my family, and I sent in all the paperwork needed for application. After countless interviews and presentations, I managed to stand out among the candidates and survive the test alone. Several months later, I finally received a call asking me to report for duty. I would be going to a small village near Abuja, Nigeria. Where? What? Nigeria? I had no idea. But I was about to find out. ‎ After completing my training, I was sent to the village that was small and desperately in need of proper accommodation. Though the local villagers were poor, they offered their homes, hearts, ‎ and food as if I were their own family. I was asked to lead a small team of local people in building a new schoolhouse. For the next year or so, I taught in that same schoolhouse. But I sometimes think I learned more from my students than they did from me. ‎ Sometime during that period, I realized that all those things that had seemed so strange or unusual to me no longer did, though I did not get anywhere with the local language, and I returned to the United States a different man. The Lighthouse Project had changed my life forever. ‎ ‎36. What do we know about the author? ‎ A. His university education focused on theoretical knowledge. ‎ B. His dream at university was to become a volunteer. ‎ C. He took pride in having contributed to the world. ‎ D. He felt honoured to study English literature. ‎ ‎37. According to Paragraph 2, it is most likely that the author ________．‎ A. discussed his decision with his family ‎ B. asked previous volunteers about voluntary work C. attended special training to perform difficult tasks D. felt sad about having to leave his family and friends ‎38. In his application for the volunteer job, the author ________．‎ A. participated in many discussions B. went through challenging survival tests C. wrote quite a few papers on voluntary work D. faced strong competition from other candidates ‎ ‎39. On arrival at the village, the author was ________．‎ A. asked to lead a farming team ‎ B. sent to teach in a schoolhouse C. received warmly by local villagers ‎ D. arranged to live in a separate house ‎40. What can we infer from the author's experiences in Nigeria? ‎ A. He found some difficulty adapting to the local culture.‎ B. He had learned to communicate in the local language. ‎ C. He had overcome all his weaknesses before he left for home. ‎ D. He was chosen as the most respectable teacher by his students. ‎ ‎【要点综述】 这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者在大学只是学习理论的东西，而毕业后不知自己要干什么。后来作者通过了一项参加志愿者活动的申请，是志愿者活动改变了作者的人生。‎ ‎36. A　细节理解题。根据第一段的“My degree, with honours, in English literature had not really prepared me for anything practical.”可知作者在大学里所学的不是实践的(practical)，而是理论上的(theoretical)东西。故选A。‎ ‎37. A　推理判断题。根据第二段的“In short, I did not take my decision to apply for the Lighthouse Project lightly. Neither did my family.”和第三段的“Eventually, however, I won the support of my family, and I sent in all the paperwork needed for application.”可知，作者跟家人商量了是否参加志愿者活动。故选A。‎ ‎38. D　细节理解题。根据第三段的“After countless interviews and presentations, I managed to stand out among the candidates and survive the test alone.”可知最后只有一个人可以胜出，因此作者经历了激烈的竞争。故选D。‎ ‎39. C　细节理解题。根据第四段的“Though the local villagers were poor, they offered their homes, hearts, and food as if I were their own family.”可知作者受到了村民们的热情招待。故选C。‎ ‎40. A　推理判断题。根据最后一段的“…I realized that all those things that had seemed so strange or unusual to me no longer did…and I returned to the United States a different man.”可知选A。‎ ‎【四】‎ Before I had my son, I spent two years working with children with disabilities. I learnt that shouting and threats of punishment would result in a disaster. Coming up against their behaviour could only make the job harder and their behaviour more extreme. I found something that worked, though.‎ There was a very naughty boy in the nursery and a teacher who was generally very confident with the children was asked to take charge of him. One day the boy joined a session in the room ‎ next to mine. His appearance created an atmosphere of tension. He spent the entire session running around, hitting and kicking, and destroying property.‎ I was in the craft room working with some other children when my coworker told me that this boy's teacher was in tears, and could not get control of the situation. As we were talking, the boy ran in. I told my coworker that I would take care of him.‎ I closed the door. He was full of energy, throwing things around and making a huge mess. But I could see that he was doing all these to annoy me. He needed connection, and this was the only way he knew how to ask for it. So I sat back down and kept quiet. Then he slowed down and began making a rocket. I talked to him about it. We continued like this for a few minutes before I slipped into the conversation：‎ ‎“So what happened today？”‎ It was purely a question, no blame or anger in my tone. I believe that if I had criticized him, the gate that was slowly opening would have shut firmly closed. He told me that the teacher didn't let him do what he knew well due to safety but asked him to do what he disliked. He also admitted that he had enjoyed making her run around and saw it as a game. I explained that his teacher had not seen it as a game and was very upset. This again was stated simply as a fact. I suggested that next time he had a session, he talk about what he hoped to do at the start, which might be easier for everyone. He agreed and was quiet for a moment. Then he looked at me with tears in his eyes before quietly asking if he could go to find his teacher to apologize. ‎ ‎51. The boy made trouble for his teacher because he ________．‎ A. was accused of destroying property B. was told not to yell at other children C. was made to do things against his will D. was blamed for creating an air of tension ‎52. Why didn't the author do anything about the boy's bad behaviour at first?‎ A. She didn't want to make it worse.‎ B. She didn't mind the huge mess at all.‎ C. She was tired of shouting and threats.‎ D. She hadn't thought of a coping strategy.‎ ‎53. The author managed to get the boy to talk to her by ________.‎ A. playing games with him B. giving him a good suggestion C. describing his teacher's feelings ‎ D. avoiding making critical remarks ‎ ‎54. Why did the boy have tears in his eyes in the end? ‎ A. He was sorry about his reputation.‎ B. He was regretful about his behaviour.‎ C. He was fearful of the author's warning.‎ D. He was sad for the author's misunderstanding.‎ ‎【要点概述】 本文是一篇记叙文。作者在幼儿园工作时，通过教育一个小男孩，让他认识到自己的错误，告诉我们人与人之间需要的是沟通和理解。只有正确的沟通和理解才可以解决一切问题。‎ ‎51. C　细节理解题。根据最后一段中的第三句 “…asked him to do what he disliked.”可知，男孩是因为老师让他做不喜欢的事情他才捣乱的。所以C项正确。‎ ‎52. A　推理判断题。根据文章第四段中的“But I could see that he was doing all these to annoy me. He needed connection, and this was the only way he knew how to ask for it. So I sat back down and kept quiet. Then he slowed down and began making a rocket.”可知，作者知道他捣乱是想激怒自己。如果作者没加以了解情况就立刻采取措施，可能会让事情更糟糕，所以作者很冷静。故A项正确。‎ ‎53. D　推理判断题。根据最后一段前两句“It was purely a question, no blame or anger in my tone. I believe that if I had criticized him, the gate that was slowly opening would have shut firmly closed.” 可知，如果作者批评他，那么他对作者打开的那扇门就又要关闭上了。这说明作者在和他沟通的时候，避免使用批评的语气。所以D项正确。‎ ‎54. B　推理判断题。根据文章最后一句“Then he looked at me with tears in his eyes before quietly asking if he could go to find his teacher to apologize.”可知，男孩对于自己所犯的错误感到后悔和自责。所以B项正确。‎ ‎【五】‎ In the mid1950s, I was a somewhat bored earlyadolescent male student who believed that doing_any_more_than_necessary_was_wasted_effort. One day, this approach threw me into embarrassment.‎ In Mrs Totten's eighthgrade maths class at Central Avenue School in Anderson, Indiana, we were learning to add and subtract decimals(小数)．‎ Our teacher typically assigned daily homework, which would be recited in class the following day. On most days, our grades were based on our oral answers to homework questions.‎ Mrs Totten usually walked up and down the rows of desks requesting answers from student after student in the order the questions had appeared on our homework sheets. She would start either at the front or the back of the classroom and work towards the other end.‎ Since I was seated near the middle of about 35 students, it was easy to figure out which questions I might have to answer. This particular time, I had completed my usual two or three problems according to my calculations.‎ What I failed to expect was that several students were absent, which threw off my estimate. As Mrs Totten made her way from the beginning of the class, I desperately tried to determine which maths problem I would get. I tried to work it out before she got to me, but I had brain freeze and couldn't function.‎ When Mrs Totten reached my desk, she asked what answer I'd got for problem No. 14. “I…I didn't get anything，” I answered, and my face felt warm. ‎ ‎“Correct，” she said.‎ It turned out that the correct answer was zero.‎ What did I learn that day? First, always do all your homework. Second, in real life it isn't always what you say but how you say it that matters. Third，I would never make it as a mathematician.‎ If I could choose one school day that taught me the most, it would be that one.‎ ‎61. What does the underlined part in Paragraph 1 indicate?‎ A. It is wise to value one's time.‎ B. It is important to make an effort.‎ C. It is right to stick to one's belief.‎ D. It is enough to do the necessary.‎ ‎62. Usually, Mrs Totten asked her students to ________．‎ A. recite their homework together B. grade their homework themselves C. answer their homework questions orally D. check the answers to their homework questions ‎63. The author could work out which questions to answer since the teacher always ________．‎ A. asked questions in a regular way B. walked up and down when asking questions C. chose two or three questions for the students D. requested her students to finish their usual questions ‎64. The author failed to get the questions he had expected because ________．‎ A. the class didn't begin as usual B. several students didn't come to school C. he didn't try hard to make his estimate D. Mrs Totten didn't start from the back of the class ‎65. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?‎ A. An unforgettable teacher B. A future mathematician C. An effective approach D. A valuable lesson ‎【要点综述】 经过一次做数学作业投机取巧而遭遇尴尬的经历后，作者明白了三个重要的道理。‎ ‎61. D　句意理解题。作者在文章中提到自己做数学作业投机取巧，只记认为老师会问到自己的问题，因此他认为做好必要的事情就足够了。‎ ‎62. C　细节理解题。根据文章第三段的内容可知作者的数学老师总是以学生口头回答作业的情况来确定学生的分数，因此C项正确。 ‎ ‎63. A　推理判断题。文章第四段提到作者的老师总是按照学生坐的顺序来问问题，因此A项正确。‎ ‎64. B　细节理解题。文章第六段提到当天有几个学生没有来，因此他的预定计划落空了，从而没有回答出老师的问题。‎ ‎65. D　主旨大意题。作者讲述这堂数学课的原因是这堂课给他带来了有价值的教训，因此D是最佳选项。‎ ‎【六】‎ Larry was on another of his underwater expeditions(探险) but this time, it was different. He decided to take his daughter along with him. She was only ten years old. This would be her first trip with her father on what he had always been famous for.‎ Larry first began diving when he was his daughter's age. Similarly, his father had taken him along on one of his expeditions. Since then, he had never looked back. Larry started out by renting diving suits from the small diving shop just along the shore. He had hated them. They were either too big or too small. Then, there was the instructor. He gave him a short lesson before allowing him into the water with his father. He had made an exception. Larry would never have been able to go down without at least five hours of theory and another similar number of hours on practical lessons with a guide. Children his age were not even allowed to dive.‎ After the first expedition, Larry's later diving adventures only got better and better. There was never a dull moment. In his black and blue suit and with an oxygen tank fastened on his back, Larry dived from boats into the middle of the ocean. Dangerous areas did not prevent him from continuing his search. Sometimes, he was limited to a cage underwater but that did not bother him. At least, he was still able to take photographs of the underwater creatures.‎ Larry's first expedition without his father was in the Cayman Islands.There were numerous diving spots in the area and Larry was determined to visit all of them.Fortunately for him, a man offered to take him around the different spots for free. Larry_did_not_even_know_what_the_time_was,_how_many_spots_he_dived_into_or_how_many_photographs_he_had_taken. The diving spots afforded such a wide array of fish and sea creatures that Larry saw more than thirty varieties of creatures.‎ Larry looked at his daughter.She looked as excited as he had been when he was her age.He hoped she would be able to continue the family tradition.Already, she looked like she was much braver than Larry had been then.This was the key to a successful underwater expedition.‎ ‎56. In what way was this expedition different for Larry?‎ A. His daughter had grown up.‎ B. He had become a famous diver.‎ C. His father would dive with him.‎ D. His daughter would dive with him.‎ ‎57. What can be inferred from Paragraph 2?‎ A. Larry had some privileges.‎ B. Larry liked the rented diving suits.‎ C. Divers had to buy diving equipment.‎ D. Tenyearold children were permitted to dive.‎ ‎58. Why did Larry have to stay in a cage underwater sometimes?‎ A. To protect himself from danger.‎ B. To dive into the deep water.‎ C. To admire the underwater view.‎ D. To take photo more conveniently.‎ ‎59. What can be learned from the underlined sentence?‎ A. Larry didn't wear a watch.‎ B. Larry was not good at maths.‎ C. Larry had a poor memory.‎ D. Larry enjoyed the adventure.‎ ‎60. What did Larry expect his daughter to do?‎ A. Become a successful diver.‎ B. Make a good diving guide.‎ C. Take a lot of photos underwater.‎ D. Have longer hours of training.‎ ‎【要点综述】 本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了一位名叫Larry的海底探险家准备带他的女儿去海底探险以及他的海底探险经历。 ‎ ‎56．D　细节理解题。根据第一段第二句“He decided to take his daughter along with him.”可知，这一次的不同之处在于他的女儿将与他一起潜水，故选D项。‎ ‎ 57.A　推理判断题。根据第二段最后两句“Larry would never have been able to go down without at least five hours of theory and another similar number of hours on practical lessons with a guide. Children his age were not even been allowed to dive.”可知，潜水前有导师指导并训练他，在他那个年龄的孩子甚至不允许潜水，由此可推断，他有一些特权，故选A项，同时可知D项有误。根据第四、五句“…by renting diving suits from the small diving shop just along the shore. He had hated them.”可知B项有误。C项在本段找不到相关信息。 ‎ ‎ 58. A　细节理解题。根据第三段第四、五句“Dangerous areas did not prevent him from continuing his research. Sometimes, he was limited to a cage underwater but that did not bother him.”可知，他待在笼子里应该是为了保护自己，故选A项。第三段最后一句只是对待在笼子里的补充，而不是其原因，故不能选C或D项。 ‎ ‎59．D　句意理解题。根据画线句以及后一句“The diving spots afforded such a wide array of fish and sea creatures that Larry saw more than thirty varieties of creatures.”可知，Larry喜欢这些探险以至于忘却了时间，沉浸于其中。 ‎ ‎ 60. A　细节理解题。根据本文最后一句“This was the key to a successful underwater expedition.”可知，Larry期望他的女儿成为一位成功的潜水员。 ‎ ‎【七】‎ Arriving in Sydney on his own from India, my husband, Rashid, stayed in a hotel for a short time while looking for a house for me and our children.‎ During the first week of his stay, he went out one day to do some shopping. He came back in the late afternoon to discover that his suitcase was gone. He was extremely worried as the suitcase had all his important papers, including his passport.‎ He reported the case to the police and then sat there，lost and lonely in a strange city, thinking of the terrible troubles of getting all the paperwork organized again from a distant country while trying to settle down in a new one. ‎ Late in the evening, the phone rang. It was a stranger. He was trying to pronounce my husband's name and was asking him a lot of questions. Then he said they had found a pile of papers in their trash can(垃圾桶) that had been left out on the footpath.‎ My husband rushed to their home to find a kind family holding all his papers and documents. Their young daughter had gone to the trash can and found a pile of unfamiliar papers. Her parents had carefully sorted them out, although they had found mainly foreign addresses on most of the documents. At last they had seen a halfwritten letter in the pile in which my husband had given his new telephone number to a friend.‎ That family not only restored the important documents to us that day but also restored our ‎ faith and trust in people. We still remember their kindness and often send a warm wish their way.‎ ‎21. What did Rashid plan to do after his arrival in Sydney?‎ A. Go shopping.　　　　　B. Find a house.‎ C. Join his family. D.

B　细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Arriving in Sydney on his own from India, my husband, Rashid, stayed in a hotel for a short time while looking for a house for me and our children.”可知，作者的丈夫只身从印度来到了悉尼，在旅馆里短暂停留，同时给作者和孩子们寻找房子住，因此选B。‎ ‎22.

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 theatres 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 theatre 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 theatre, 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 theatre since January, because Mr Bellow loved anything with John Wayne in it. ‎ We left the theatre 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. ‎ ‎46．In which year did the author first live in a place with an air conditioner? ‎ A．1952. ‎ B．1962. ‎ C．1972. ‎ D．1982.‎ ‎47．What does the underlined word “It” in Paragraph 3 refer to? ‎ A．The heat. ‎ B．The theatre. ‎ C．The Music Man. ‎ D．The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance. ‎ ‎48．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. ‎ ‎49．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 theatre was friendly. ‎ D．They liked the popcorn and the soda at the theatre. ‎ ‎50．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 theatre unforgettable. ‎ ‎【要点综述】 这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者和他/她的弟弟为了躲避酷暑而连续几天到电影院看电影的趣事。‎ ‎46．C　细节理解题。根据第一段的“This was 1962, and I would not live in a place with an air conditioner for another ten years.”可知又过了10年作者才住进有空调的地方。故选C。‎ ‎47．D　代词指代题。根据本段的“…followed by The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance.
