提示：

解题点拨 　　1．When是关系副词，引导定语从句，表时间． 　　2．根据句意推测在忙碌了一天后总统去看戏． 　　5．据下文“for the South”可推知这里用“the North”指北方各州． 　　6．Came to a stop指剧场里的中间休息时刻． 　　7．towards强调动作方向．to则强调“到达”． 　　8．这里定语从句中的介词“through”提前，故介词后只能用which引导． 　　9．look around四周环顾，说明犯罪人的恐惧心理和动作． 　　12．break in在这儿表示枪声突然响起． 　　13．包厢在上边，人们只能抬头看：look up． 　　14．coming…表示烟雾正从包厢里冒出来，也可用rising． 　　15．the Lincolns表示林肯夫妇． 　　18．jump down to跳下，指凶手当时从上边的包厢向下跳． 　　20．die是非延续性动词，在句中与“was shot”是前后关系，先遭枪击再死亡．
