3.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 salesclerk fool me into buying a discontinued model,I realized this a day late,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 offfor the night,Fortunately,I didn't got 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 certain 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.

分析 我的彩电尽让我头疼了.一年多以前,因为亲戚给了买生日礼物的钱,没去买许多不合适的衣服,所以就买了它.我受到店员的蒙蔽买了一台停产的机型.当我看到这种电视的报纸广告上是75美元,要比我买的便宜时,我意识到我上当了.最初把它买回家时,这台电视是如此的好以至于我常把它开到晚上节目结束.幸好,我没有发现哪个频道是放一整晚影片的,否则,我会一夜不睡觉.
后来我发现了电视有静电噪音的问题,不知什么原因,当电视节目变成广告的时候,很大的噪音就会响上几秒,渐渐地,这种声音开始出现在节目中,为了去掉这种噪音,我不得不来回换频道.有时候这样做也不起作用,为了去掉这种声音,我只好搬起电视来回晃动.实际上,晃电视的同时,我还锻炼了胳膊上的肌肉.
当这两种方法都没有消除静态噪音时,我只能无助的坐等噪音消失.最后我终于用拳头砸了电视,它完全坏了.我去修理厂花费了62美元,现在电视修好了,但我认为还会有更多的麻烦.
解答 21选C 细节推理题 根据第一段."I realized this a day late,when I saw newspaper advertisements for the set at seventy-five dollars less than I had paid"当我看到这种电视的报纸广告上是75美元,要比我买的便宜时,我意识到我上当了.答案C 他本来能以更低的价格买到它.故选C
22选A 词义推测题 根据后一句"Fortunately,I didn't got any channels showing all-night movies or I would never have gotten to bed.("幸好,我没有发现哪个频道是放一整晚影片的,否则,我会一夜不睡觉.)可知,应该是"我常把它开到晚上节目结束",所以"signed off"应该是"停止播放"的意思,也就是没有节目了.故选A.
23选D 细节理解题 根据文章最后一段"My trip to the repair shop cost me $62,and the set is working well now."我去修理厂花费了62美元,现在电视修好了.故选D
24选D 推理判断题.根据"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."为了去掉这种声音,我只好搬起电视来回晃动.实际上,晃电视的同时,我还锻炼了胳膊上的肌肉."可知作者语调幽默.故选D.
