2、me into buying a discontinued model.I realized this a day later,when I saw newspaper advertisements for the set at seventyfive dollars less than I had paid.The set worked so beautifully when I first got it home that I would keep it on until stations signed off for the night.Fortunately,I didnt get a
3、ny channels showing allnight movies or I would never have gotten to bed.Then I started developing a problem with the set that involved static(静电)noise.For some reason,when certain shows switched into a commercial,a loud noise would sound for a few seconds.Gradually,this noise began to appear during
4、a show,and to get rid of it,I had to change to another channel and then change it back.Sometimes this technique would not work,and I had to pick up the set and shake it to remove the sound.I actually began to build up my arm muscles(肌肉)shaking my set.When neither of these methods removed the static
5、noise,I would sit helplessly and wait for the noise to go away.At last I ended up hitting the set with my fist,and it stopped working altogether.My trip to the repair shop cost me $62,and the set is working well now,but I keep expecting more trouble.【解题导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者认为自己在售货员的欺骗下,购买了一台电视机,因为这种型号
6、的电视机已停止生产,而且作者还多花了钱。不仅如此,作者在看节目的时候,电视还出现了静电噪音。文章着重描写了作者采取各种措施来消除这种噪音,比如换台、摇晃电视机等。最后作者花了很多钱修好了电视机。1Why did the author say he was fooled into buying the TV set?AHe got an older model than he had expected.BHe couldnt return it when it was broken.CHe could have bought it at a lower price.DHe failed to f
7、ind any movie shows on it.解析:选C。细节理解题。A项“他购买的型号比自己所期望的要老”与文章第一段第三句话“我被售货员欺骗购买了一个已经停产的型号”有出入,可排除;B项“当电视坏了的时候,他不能退还”在文中没有提到;D项“他在这台电视上找不到任何电影”与第一段最后一句“幸运的是,我没有那种播放整夜电影的频道,否则一宿都不能睡觉了”信息不一致。根据第一段中的at seventyfive dollars less than I had paid(比我所付的钱少75美元)可知C项“他本可以以更低的价格买这台电视”正确。2Which of the following can
8、 best replace the phrase “signed off” in Paragraph 1?Aended all their programsBprovided fewer channelsCchanged to commercialsDshowed allnight movies解析:选A。词义猜测题。该短语前的I would keep it on说明作者非常喜欢看电视,一直看到电视台停止播放节目为止,故A项“结束所有的节目”与短语sign off“结束广播/电视节目”意义相近,为正确答案。B项“提供更少的频道”,C项“更换成广告”,D项“播放通宵电影”,均不符合此处语境。3H
9、ow did the author finally get his TV set working again?ABy shaking and hitting it.BBy turning it on and off.CBy switching channels.DBy having it repaired.解析:选D。细节理解题。根据文章第二、三段的描述可知,当出现静电噪音并影响作者看节目的时候,作者采取了换台的方法,但是有时不起作用,排除C项;然后作者又采取了“举起来摇晃电视”及“用拳头击打”的方法,后来这一招也失效了,排除A项;B项“不断地开关电视”在文章中没有提到。再根据文章最后一句话M
10、y trip to the repair shop cost me $62,and the set is working well now.可知作者最后只好花钱修理电视,且到目前为止电视还没有再出现什么问题,故选D项。4How does the author sound when telling the story?ACurious.BAnxious.CCautious.DHumorous.解析:选D。推理判断题。这是一道判断作者讲述口吻的试题。文章第一段中的Fortunately,I didnt get any channels showing allnight movies or I wo
11、uld never have gotten to bed.和第二段中当作者不断地摇晃电视来消除静电噪音的时候,他说I actually began to build up my arm muscles(肌肉).(我居然开始练出胳膊肌肉)等,体现了作者幽默的写作手法。curious好奇的;anxious焦虑的;cautious小心的。BNEMSNEWRI Environmental Master of ScienceNEWRINanyang Environment & Water Research InstituteBe a leader in environmental science and
