One morning, Ann's neighbour Tracy found a lost dog wandering around the local elementary school. She asked Ann if she could keep an eye on the dog. Ann said that she could watch it only for the day.
Tracy took photos of the dog and printed off 400 FOUND fliers(傳單), and put them in mailboxes. Meanwhile, Ann went to the dollar store and bought some pet supplies, warning her two sons not to fall in love with the dog. At the time, Ann's son Thomas was 10 years old, and Jack, who was recovering a heart operation, was 21 years old.
Four days later Ann was still looking after the dog, whom they had started to call Riley. When she arrived home from work, the dog threw itself against the screen door and barked madly at her. As soon as she opened the door, Riley dashed into the boys' room where Ann found Jack suffering a heart attack. Riley ran over to Jack, but as soon as Ann bent over to help him the dog went silent.
“If it hadn't come to get me, the doctor said Jack would have died，” Ann reported to a local newspaper. At this point, no one had called to claim the dog, so Ann decided to keep it.
The next morning Tracy got a call. A man named Peter recognized his lost dog and called the number on the flier. Tracy started crying, and told him, “That dog saved my friend's son.”
Peter drove to Ann's house to pick up his dog, and saw Thomas and Jack crying in the window. After a few moments Peter said, “Maybe Odie was supposed to find you; maybe you should keep it.”

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 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.

47.D 代詞指代題。根據(jù)本段的“…followed by The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance. We'd already seen the second movie once before.”可知答案。
48.B 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段的“…because Mr Bellow loved anything with John Wayne in it.”可知Bellow先生是John Wayne的粉絲。故選B。
49.B 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段的內(nèi)容可知作者家里沒有空調(diào)，去看電影是為了躲避外面炎熱的天氣。故選B。
50.D 推理判斷題。從最后一段的“…sing half the songs in…recite half of John Wayne…dialogue…They're really memories of the screen, not memories of my life.”可知作者認(rèn)為在電影院的經(jīng)歷是很難忘的。

When I told my father that I was moving to Des Moines, Iowa, he told me about the only time he had been there. It was in the 1930s, when he was an editor of the literary magazine of Southern Methodist University(SMU) in Dallas, Texas. He also worked as a professor at SMU, and there was a girl student in his class who suffered from a serious back disease. She couldn't afford the operation because her family was poor.
Her mother ran a boardinghouse in Galveston, a seaside town near Houston, Texas. She was cleaning out the attic(閣樓) one day when she came across an old dusty manuscript(手稿). On its top page were the words, “By O. Henry.” It was a nice story, and she sent it to her daughter at SMU, who showed it to my father. My father had never read the story before, but it sounded like O. Henry, and he knew that O. Henry had once lived in Houston. So it was possible that the famous author had gone to the beach and stayed in the Galveston boardinghouse, and had written the story there and left the manuscript behind by accident. My father visited an O. Henry expert at Columbia University in New York, who authenticated the story as O. Henry's.
My father then set out to sell it. Eventfully, he found himself in Des Moines, meeting with Gardner Cowles, a top editor at the Des Moines Register. Cowles loves the story and bought it on the spot. My father took the money to the girl. It was just enough for her to have the operation she so desperately needed.
My father never told me what the O. Henry story was about. But I doubt that it could have been better than his own story.
49. Who found the O. Henry's manuscript?
A. The girl's mother.
B. The author's father.
C. The girl.
D. The author.
50. Which of the following might explain the fact that the manuscript was found in the attic?
A. O. Henry once worked in Houston.
B. O. Henry once stayed in Galveston.
C. O. Henry once moved to Des Moines.
D. O. Henry once taught at SMU.
51. The underlined word “authenticated” in Paragraph 2 probably means “________”.
A. named B. treated
C. proved D. described
52. According to the text, why did the author's father go to Des Moines?
A. To sell the O. Henry story.
B. To meet the author himself.
C. To talk with the O. Henry expert.
D. To give money to the girl.

50. B 推理判斷題。根據(jù)第二段中的“…and he knew that O. Henry had once lived in Houston. So it was possible that the famous author had gone to the beach and stayed in the Galveston boardinghouse…”一句可知本題答案為B。
51. C 詞義猜測題。句意：我父親去拜訪了紐約哥倫比亞大學(xué)的歐·亨利研究專家，他證明這份手稿是歐·亨利的真跡。由此可知本詞意思是“證明”，故選C。
52. A 推理判斷題。根據(jù)第三段的`前兩句可知“我”的父親去Des Moines的目的是為了賣歐·亨利的手稿，故選A。

A city child's summer is spent in the street in front of his home，and all through the long summer vacations I sat on the edge of the street and watched enviously the other boys on the block play baseball.I was never asked to take part even when one team had a member missing—not out of special cruelty, but because they took it for granted，I would be no good at it.They were right，of course.
I would never forget the wonderful evening when something changed.The baseball ended about eight or eight thirty when it grew dark.Then it was the custom of the boys to retire to a little stoop(門廊) that stuck out from the candy store on the corner and that somehow had become theirs.No grownup ever sat there or attempted to.There the boys would sit，mostly talking about the games played during the day and of the game to be played tomorrow.Then long silences would fall and the boys would wander off one by one.It was just after one of those long silences that my life as an outsider changed.I can no longer remember which boy it was that summer evening who broke the silence with a question;but whoever he was，I nod to him gratefully now.“What's in those books you're always reading?” he asked casually. “Stories，” I answered.“What kind?”asked somebody else without much interest.
Nor do I know what drove me to behave as I did，for usually I just sat there in silence，glad enough to be allowed to remain among them;but instead of answering his question，I told them for two hours the story I was reading at the moment.The book was Sister Carrie.They listened bugeyed and breathless.I must have told it well，but I think there was another and deeper reason that made them so keen an audience.Listening to a tale being told in the dark is one of the most ancient of man's entertainments，but I was offering them as well，without being aware of doing it，a new and exciting experience.
The books they themselves read were the Rover Boys or Tom Swift or G.A. Henry. I had read them too，but at thirteen I had long since left them behind.Since I was much alone I had become an enthusiastic reader and I had gone through the booksforboys series.In those days there was no reading material between children's and grownups' books，or I could find none.I had gone right from Tom Swift and His Flying Machine to Theodore Dreiser and Sister Carrie.Dreiser had hit my young mind，and they listened to me tell the story with some of the wonder that I had had in reading it.
The next night and many nights thereafter，a kind of unspoken ritual(儀式) took place.As it grew dark，I would take my place in the centre of the stoop and begin the evening's tale.Some nights，in order to taste my victory more completely，I cheated.I would stop at the most exciting part of a story by Jack London or Bret Harte，and without warning tell them that that was as far as I had gone in the book and it would have to be continued the following evening.It was not true，of course;but I had to make certain of my newfound power and position.I enjoyed the long summer evenings until school began in the fall.Other words of mine have been listened to by larger and more fashionable audiences，but for that tough and athletic one that sat close on the stoop outside the candy store，I have an unreasoning love that will last forever.
