Riley ran over to Jack, but as soon as Ann bent over to help him the dog went silent.

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? 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. |

Elizabeth Freeman was born about 1742 to African American parents who were slaves. At the age of six months she was acquired, along with her sister, by John Ashley, a wealthy Massachusetts slaveholders. She became known as “Mumbet” or “Mum Bett.”
For nearly 30 years Mumbet served the Ashley family. One day, Ashley’s wife tried to strike Mumbet’s sister with a spade. Mumbet protected her sister and took the blow instead. Furious, she left the house and refused to come back. When the Ashleys tried to make her return, Mumbet consulted a lawyer, Theodore Sedgewick. With his help, Mumbet sued(起诉) for her freedom.
While serving the Ashleys, Mumbet had listened to many discussions of the new Massachusetts constitution. If the constitution said that all people were free and equal, then she thought it should apply to her. Eventually, Mumbet won her freedom---- the first slave in Massachusetts to do so under the new constitution.
Strangely enough, after the trial, the Ashleys asked Mumbet to come back and work for them as a paid employee. She declined and instead went to work for Segdewick. Mumbet died in 1829, but her legacy lived on in her many descendants(后裔). One of her great-grandchildren was W.E.B. Du Bois, one of the founder of the NAACP, and an important writer and spokesperson for African American civil rights.
Mumbet’s tombstone still stands in the Massachusetts cemetery where she was buried. It reads, in part: “She was born a slave and remained a slave and remained a slave for nearly thirty years. She could neither read nor write, yet in her own sphere she had no superior or equal.”
小题1:What do we know about Mumbet according to Paragraph 1? | A．She was born a slave | | B．She was a slaveholder | | C．She had a famous sister | | D．She was born into a rich family |
小题2:Why did Mumbet run away from the Ashleys? | A．She found an employer | | B．She wanted to be a lawyer | | C．She was hit and got angry | | D．She had to take care of her sister |
小题3:What did Mumbet learn from discussions about the new consititution? | A．She should always obey her owners’ orders | | B．She should be as free and equal as whites | | C．How to be a good servant | | D．How to apply for a job |
小题4:What did Mumbet do after the trial? | A．She chose to work for a lawyer | | B．She found the NAACP | | C．She continued to serve the Ashleys | | D．She went to live with her grandchildren |
小题5:What is the test mainly about? | A．A story of a famous writer and spokesperson | | B．The friendship between a lawyer and a slave | | C．The life of a brave African American woman | | D．A trial that shocked the whole world |

In 1943, when I was 4, my parents moved from Coeur d"Alene, Idaho, to Fairbanks, Alaska, where adventure was never very far away.
We arrived in the summer, just in time to enjoy the midnight sun. All that sunlight was fantastic for Mom"s vegetable garden. Working in the garden at midnight tended to throw her timing off, so she didn"t care much about my bedtime.
Dad was a Railway Express agent and Mom was his clerk. That left me in a mess. I usually managed to find some trouble to get into. Once I had a little Are going in the dirt basement of a hotel. I had tried to light a barrel（桶） of paint but couldn"t really get a good fire going. The smoke got pretty bad, though, and when 1 made my exit, a crowd and the police were there to greet me. The policemen took my matches and drove me
Mom and Dad were occupied in the garden and Dad told the police to keep me, and they did! I had a tour of the prison before Mom rescued me. 1 hadn"t turned 5 yet.
As I entered kindergarten, the serious cold began to set in. Would it surprise you to know that I soon left part of my tongue on a metal handrail at school?
As for Leonhard Seppala, famous as a dog sledder (驾雪橇者), I think I knew him well because I was taken for a ride with his white dog team one Sunday. At the time I didn"t realize what a superstar he was, but I do remember the ride well. I was wrapped (包裹) heavily and well sheltered from the freezing and blowing weather.
In 1950, we moved back to Coeur d"Alene, but we got one more Alaskan adventure when Leonhard invited us eight years later by paying a visit to Idaho to attend a gathering of former neighbors of Alaska.
