   My colour television has given me noth?ing but a headache. I was able to buy it a lit?tle over a year ago because I had my rela?tives give me money for my birthday instead of a lot of clothes that wouldn't fit. I let a salesclerk 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 signed off for the night. Fortunately ， I didn't get any channels showing all-night 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 cer?tain shows switched into a commercial, 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.

A

[文章大意]本文主要介绍了作者认为自己受到了售货员的欺骗，购买了一台彩电，它不但价格昂贵，而且还出现了静电噪声。虽然作者采取各种措施消除这种噪声，但是都没有效果。最后作者只能花钱对电视机进行了修理。

16.  C 细节理解题。根据第一段中的"Ilet a salesclerk 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."可知作者本来可以以更低的价格购买这台彩电，故选C项。

17.  A 词义猜测题。根据第一段最后一句"Fortunately, I didn't get any channels showing all-night movies or I would never have gotten to bed."可知作者庆幸没有整夜播放电影的频道，那样的话，节目就完不了 ，自己就不能睡觉了 ，因此可推出sign off意为"（电视节目）结束播映"。

18.  D 细节理解题。文章的最后一句"My trip to the repair shop cost me $ 62， and the set is working well now---，，表明

作者最后只好去花钱修理电视机。

19.  D推理判断题。文章第一段提到"Fortunately, I dWn't get any channels showing all-night movies or I would never have gotten to bed."，第二段提到"I actually began to build up my arm muscles(肌肉）…"，这些都体现了作者幽默的叙述手法。故选择D项。
