15.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 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 beautiful 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(靜電) 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 本文屬于說明文閱讀,作者通過這篇文章主要向我們描述了我的彩電帶給我的只有讓我頭疼的事.從一開始就讓我很不痛快.因為我花的錢比廣告上的多,這還不算,機子還是過時的,而且質(zhì)量也有問題,最后只好花錢修.不知道它還會給我?guī)硎裁绰闊?/p>
解答 24.C.細節(jié)理解題.由第一段中的"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"可知,作者看到廣告登出來的電視價格比自己的低75美元,作者多花了錢.所以作者感覺自己受騙了.故C選項切題.
25.A.詞義猜測題.由"The set worked so beautifully when I first got it home that I would keep it on until stations signed off for the night"可知,這臺電視色彩漂亮,所以作者一開始的時候會在晚上持續(xù)地看電視直到所有的臺節(jié)目都演完.故sign off的意思應(yīng)為"結(jié)束",A選項正確.
26.D.推理判斷題.由第一段中的"Fortunately,I didn't get any channels showing all-night movies or I would never have gotten to bed"和第二段中的"I actually began to build up my arm muscles(肌肉) shaking my set"可知,作者認為沒有電視節(jié)目就可以睡覺,晃動電視可以鍛煉肌肉,由此可知作者很幽默.故D選項切題.
點評 考察學(xué)生的細節(jié)理解和推理判斷能力,做細節(jié)理解題時一定要找到文章中的原句,和題干進行比較,再做出正確的選擇.在做推理判斷題不要以個人的主觀想象代替文章的事實,要根據(jù)文章事實進行合乎邏輯的推理判斷.
