题目内容
2.My color television has given me nothing but a headache.I was able to buy it a little over a year ago because I had my relatives give me money for my birthday instead of a lot of clothes that wouldn't fit.I let a shop assistant fool me into buying a discontinued model.I realized this a day later,when I saw newspaper advertisements for the set at seventy-five 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 signedoff for the night.Fortunately,I didn't get any channels showing all-night movies or I would never have gotten t 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(商业广告),a loud noise would sound for a few seconds.Gradually,this noise began to appear during 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 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.

分析 我的彩电带给我的只有让我头疼的事.从一开始就让我很不痛快.因为我花的钱比广告上的多,这还不算,机子还是过时的,而且质量也有问题,先是接受频道不全,接着是噪音不断,最后只好自己花钱去修.
解答 24.C 细节理解题.根据第一段第四行"when I saw newspaper advertisements for the set at seventy-five dollars less than I had paid."当我看到报纸上75美元比我买的价格低的时候,我感觉我上当了.故选C.
25.A 词义推测题.根据后一句Fortunately,I didn't get any channels showing all-night movies or I would never have gotten to bed.:幸运的是,我没有可以整晚看电影的频道,否则我就不能睡觉了,故选A.
26.D 细节理解题.根据文章最后一段的My trip to the repair shop cost me $62,可知作者由于用拳头砸电视,导致电视没了噪音,也什么都不出了.最后只好自己花钱去修理店修电视机,共花了62美元,故选D.
27.D推理判断题.根据开头Fortunately,I didn't get any channels showing all-night movies or I would never have gotten to bed.意思是说:看不了电视节目就可以睡觉;中间还说I actually began to build up my arm muscles(肌肉) shaking my set.意思是:晃动电视的同时还锻炼了胳膊上肌肉,可知作者很诙谐幽默.故选D.
