BALTIMORE. MARYLAND—An old postcard changed the lives of an eleven-year-old boy and a very sick woman. The postcard had a picture of the steamship Titanic. The Titanic was the largest ocean ship in the world. It hit an iceberg(冰山)and sank on April 14. 1912. More than 1,500 of the 2,200 people on the ship were killed.
  The postcard was passed from one person to another for more than 80 years. Then it appeared at a card show for people who liked to collect postcards. An eleven-year-old boy, Joey Russell, came to the show with his grandfather. His grandfather knew everything about the Titanic and its trip from England to New York. “Let’s buy that postcard.” he told Joey. “It will be important someday.”
  Two years later, Joey’s grandfather took him on a special trip. They went on a trip to the North Atlantic ocean to watch as workers pulled the Titanic up from the bottom of the ocean. Joey put his special postcard in his bag for the trip. On the ship, Joey met Edith Haisman. This woman was on the Titanic when it sank. She was one of the people who were rescued. Joey pulled the postcard out of his pocket. “Please sign this, Mrs. Haisman.” he said. She was happy to write her name on the back of the postcard.
When Joey got home, he put the postcard away and forgot about it, Then Kate Shelley, one of Joey’s friends, told him that her mother was very sick. She needed an operation, but there was a problem. The operation was very expensive, and the family needed $80, 000 to pay for it. Friends and relatives tried to help. But where could they get so much money?
  Then when Joey went to see the new movie “Titanic”, he had an idea. “Millions of people are seeing this movie and reading about the Titanic.” Joey thought. He remembered the old postcard with Edith Haisman’s signature on it. “Maybe I can sell it for some money. Then I can help Kate’s mom.”
  Joey told his mother and father about his idea to help Mrs. Shelley. His parents helped him try to sell the postcard to the person who would pay the most money for it. Joey’s story was on television and in newspapers. Joey and Kate even went to New York to be on a national TV show. After the show, many people called in to offer money for the Titanic card. Someone bought it for $60. 000.
Joey’s kind heart and the old Titanic postcard worked together to save a woman’s life.

It was one of those terribly hot days in Baltimore. Needless
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.
小题1:In which year did the author first live in a place with an air conditioner?
A.1952 B.1962 C.1972 D.1982
小题2:What does the underlined word”It” in Paragraph 3 refer to?
A.The heat
B.The theater.
C.The Music Man
D.The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance
小题3: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.
小题4: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 theater was friendly.
D.They liked the popcorn and the soda at the theater.
小题5: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 theater unforgettable.

【文章大意】这是一篇记叙文。本文讲述了作者小时候为了避暑和弟弟到电影院去一遍一遍看电影,以至于多年时候还记得电影里面的歌曲和对白,表达了自己对以往那段在电影院里度过的时光的怀念之情。
小题1:C考查细节理解。由第二段第三句“This was 1962,I wuold not live in a place with air conditioner for another ten years”可知,作者在10年后住进了有空调的房子。故选C。
考查类别统一为:考查细节理解。考查猜测词义。考查判断推理。考查主旨要义;考查文章标题;
小题2:D考查指代判断。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指的是这两部电影中的第二部电影即The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance。故选D。
小题3:B考查细节理解。由第三段最后一句“…because Mr. Bellow loved anything with John Wayne in it.”可知,Mr. Bellow很喜欢John Wayne。故选B。
小题4:B考查细节理解。由第二段第一句可知,在这炎热的夏天电影院是你可以一坐一整天的为数不多的地方,最重要的是这里有空调,所以作者和弟弟到电影院区的目的是为了避暑。故选B。
小题5:D考查判断推理。最后一段中作者说时至今日他仍然会唱The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance里的歌,会背诵里面的对白,很少会记起1962年的热浪但是会时常记起这部电影,说明作者很怀念那段在电影院度过的时光。故选D。

这是一个强调句型,即:It was...that/who.强调的对象是主语She.
a Baltimore printer是主语she的同位语.
最后的the first copies that.是宾语the first offical copies ...的同位语.
在后面的这个同位语当中,包括了一个由that引导的定语从句(that included the names...),修饰the first copies
