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.
【语篇解读】 这是一篇记叙文。作者用幽默诙谐的笔调向我们讲述了他购买的一台电视机所带来的一系列苦恼的故事。
1．Why did the author say he was fooled into buying the TV set? A．He got an older model than he had expected. B．He couldn't return it when it was broken. C．He could have bought it at a lower price. D．He failed to find any movie shows on it.
答案 C [细节明白得题。依照第一段中的“I realized this a day later，when I saw newspaper advertisements for the set at seventyfive dollars less than I had paid.”可知，作者是在一天后看到自己所购买的电视机降了75美元才感受自己上当受骗了。由此
1 / 3
可知他本能够以更低的价格购买这台电视机的。因此C项正确。]
2．Which of the following can best replace the phrase “signed off” in Paragraph 1?
A．ended all their programs B．provided fewer channels C．changed to commercials D．showed allnight movies
答案 A [词义推测题。该短语前的“I would keep it on”说明作者专门喜爱看电视，一直看到电视台停止播放节目为止，故A项“终止所有的节目”与短语sign off“终止广播/电视节目”意义相近，为正确答案。]
3．How did the author finally get his TV set working again? A．By shaking and hitting it. B．By turning it on and off. C．By switching channels. D．By having it repaired.
答案 D [细节明白得题。依照文章最后一句话“My 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显现什么问题，故选D项。]
4. How does the author sound when telling the story? A．Curious. C．Cautious.
B．Anxious. D．Humorous.
答案 D [推理判定题。由文章第一段中的“Fortunately，I didn't get any channels showing allnight movies or I would never have gotten to bed.”和第二段中当作者不断地摇动电视来排除静电噪音的时候，他说“I actually began to build up my arm muscles(肌肉)．..”等，表达了作者幽默的写作手法。]
