2017年大學聯考英語閲讀理解備考訓練題

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.

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

A.1952.

B.1962.

C.1972.

D.1982.

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

heat.

theatre.

Music Man.

Man Who Shot Liberty Valance.

do we know about Mr Bellow?

loved children very much.

was a fan of John Wayne.

sold air conditioners.

was a movie star.

two movies were really wonderful.

wanted to avoid the heat outside.

manager of the theatre was friendly.

liked the popcorn and the soda at the theatre.

can we learn from the last paragraph?

author turned out to be a great singer.

author enjoyed the heat wave of 1962.

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

author considers the experience at the theatre unforgettable.
