【语篇解读】 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。
4.WhydidtheauthorsayhewasfooledintobuyingtheTVset?
A.Hegotanoldermodelthanhehadexpected.
B.Hecouldn'treturnitwhenitwasbroken.
C.Hecouldhaveboughtitatalowerprice.
D.Hefailedtofindanymovieshowsonit.
【解析】 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atseventyfivedollarslessthanIhadpaid(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。
【答案】 C
5.Whichofthefollowingcanbestreplacethephrase“signedoff”inParagraph1?
A.endedalltheirprograms
B.providedfewerchannels
C.changedtocommercials
D.showedallnightmovies
【解析】 词义猜测题。
该短语前的Iwouldkeepiton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signoff“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。
【答案】 A
6.HowdidtheauthorfinallygethisTVsetworkingagain?
A.Byshakingandhittingit.
B.Byturningitonandoff.
C.Byswitchingchannels.
D.Byhavingitrepaired.
【解析】 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Mytriptotherepairshopcostme$62,andthesetisworkingwellnow...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。
【答案】 D
7.Howdoestheauthorsoundwhentellingthestory?
A.Curious.
B.Anxious.
C.Cautious.
D.Humorous.
【解析】 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,Ididn'tgetanychannelsshowingallnightmoviesorIwouldneverhavegottentobed.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Iactuallybegantobuildupmyarmmuscles(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。
【答案】 D
C
