试题详情及答案解析
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.Ithad 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.

试题分析：作者叙述了在1962年的夏天，我和弟弟躲到电影院里以避开外面的高温。我们连续看了多次那两部电影，直到现在还记得里面的台词。这是我们那个夏天留下的美好的回忆。
【小题1】C推理题。根据文章第一段2,3行This was 1962, and I would not live in a place with an air conditioner for another ten years.可知在1962年的时候，我们说十年以后我们才居住在一个有看空调的房子里。可知我是在1972年住进了有空调的房子。故C正确。
【小题2】D推理题。根据文章最后一段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!习惯依旧，这一天我可以在The Music Man唱一半的歌曲，背诵在The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance中约翰韦恩和吉米斯图尔特对话的一半，可知John Wayne and Jimmy Stewart是电影The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance中的演员。所以Mr. Bellow loved anything with John Wayne in it.这里的it就是指The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance这部电影。故D正确。
【小题3】B推理题。根据文章第三段最后一句It had been at the theater since January, because Mr. Bellow loved anything with John Wayne in it.可知正是因为这部电影里有John Wayne，所以这部电影才被放映了很长时间，说明Mr. Bellow很喜欢John Wayne 的表演。故B正确。
【小题4】B推理题。根据文章第一段4，行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.可知弟弟和我计划去看电影正是为了避开热浪。所以我们才会去一次次看自己看过的电影。故B正确。
【小题5】D推理题。根据文章最后一段前3行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. 可知他们清楚地记得这两部电影的内容，这两部电影是1962年给他们留下的很好的回忆。也就是说作者很难忘记这次经历。故D正确。
