15.My color television has given me a headache.A salesman fooled me into buying an old model.I realized this a day later,when I saw newspaper advertisement for the set at 75 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.Luckily there was no channel(頻道)showing all-night movies.
Then I found a problem with the set that there was noise.When I changed a show into a commercial,there would be a loud noise for a few seconds.Gradually,the noise began to appear during a show,and to deal with it,I had to change to another channel and then change it back.Sometimes this method 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)by shaking it.
When neither of these methods removed the noise,I would sit helplessly and wait for the noise to go away.At last I hit the set with my fist(拳頭),and it stopped working.My trip to the repair shop cost me $65,and the set is working well now,but I keep expecting more trouble.

25.Why did the writer say he was fooled into buying the TV set?C
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.
26.What does the underlined phrase"signed off"mean in Paragraph 1?A
A.ended all their programs
B.provided fewer channels.
C.changed to commercials
D.showed all-night movies
27.How did the writer finally get his TV set working again?D
A.By shaking and hitting it
B.By turning it on and off
C.By changing channels
D.By having it repaired
28.How does the writer sound when telling the story?D
A.Curious
B.Sad
C.Serious
D.Humorous.

分析 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?yàn)槲一ǖ腻X比廣告上的多,這還不算,機(jī)子還是過時(shí)的,而且質(zhì)量也有問題,最后只好花錢修.不知道它還會(huì)給我?guī)?lái)什么麻煩.

解答 25.C  細(xì)節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)第一段第四行"when I saw newspaper advertisements for the set at seventy-fivedollars less than I had paid."當(dāng)我看到報(bào)紙上75美元比我買的價(jià)格低的時(shí)候,我感覺我上當(dāng)了.故選C.
26.A 詞義推測(cè)題.根據(jù)后一句,Luckily there was no channel(頻道)showing all-night movies,幸運(yùn)的是,我不用整晚上看電影了,否則我不能睡覺了,故選A.
27.D 細(xì)節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)文章最后一段,My trip to the repair shop cost me $65,and the set is working well now,可知作者修好電視機(jī)花了65美元,故選D.
28.D 推理判斷題.根據(jù)開頭說(shuō):沒有電視節(jié)目就可以睡覺,中間還說(shuō)I actually began to build up my arm muscles(肌肉)by shaking it,晃動(dòng)電視來(lái)鍛煉肌肉,可知作者語(yǔ)調(diào)幽默.故選D.

點(diǎn)評(píng) 本篇內(nèi)容比較適中,對(duì)于考生的能力要求不高,只要認(rèn)真細(xì)致閱讀,不難發(fā)現(xiàn)答案.可以先看題目再讀文章,這樣可以提高閱讀的速度.還要準(zhǔn)確定位考點(diǎn).特別是推理題,要結(jié)合上下文的暗示做題,掌握方法是關(guān)鍵.

3.The Eurotunnel is a tunnel(隧道) which crosses the Channel under the sea,linking France and the UK.It is about 50.5km long and 38km lies under the seabed.There are trains which carry passengers and cars,and others which carry carriages or other heavier vehicles,as well as goods.
The construction of the tunnel started in 1986,with a cost of almost 10 billion pounds.It was opened in 1994but was not financially successful until 2007,because of the interest rates (利率) the company had to pay the banks,as well as low earnings from passengers and goods.
The Eurotunnel is a very convenient way of traveling between the two countries as the journey is quick (less than one hour),cheap,and comfortable.You can go with your car,motorbike or bike.
The tunnel operates every day,round the clock.At the busiest times there are up to three shuttle departures (班次) per hour.There are facilities (設(shè)施) for disabled passengers,and for babies at the two terminals (終點(diǎn)站).
The Eurotunnel,also commonly known as the Channel Tunnel,Eurochannel  and Eurochunnel is environmentally friendly.It perfects its sources of energy through its use of renewable energy with the result that,by 2008,it had reduced its greenhouse gas emissions(排量) by 45%.In addition,50% of the waste produced is recycled.
The future of the Eurotunnel seems promising,although there are some people who have the fear of enclosed (與外界隔絕的) spaces and would never use this type of transportation.There have been some problems with snow storms like the one in the winter of the 2009 which have made the services stop for a period of time,leaving passengers in the tunnel for more than 15 hours without light,heating,food or drink,inside an unmoving train under the sea.Some of the passengers reacted very badly and have decided not to use this means of transport ever again.

32.Why was the Eurotunnel not financially successful at first?D
A.It was free for passing trins
B.Many people disliked it.
C.Its operating cost was very high.
D.It was heavily in debt.
33.What is Paragraph 3mainly about?C
A.The wonderful design of the Eurotunnel
B.A traveling guide to the Eurotunnel
C.The advantages of the Eurotunnel.
D.An introduction of the Eurotunnel's equipment.
34.We can infer from the text that the EurotunnelA
A.used environmentallyfriendly energy
B.was completely built under the seabed
C.was designed for passenger trains
D.operated successfully without any accident
35.What is the author's attitude towards the Eurotunnel?B
A.Cautious        B.Optimistic       C.Negative       D.Doubtful.

20.A funny thing happened to Arthur when he was on the way to work one day.As he walked along Park Avenue near the First National Bank,he heard the sound of someone trying to start a car.He tried again and again but couldn't get the car moving.Arthur turned and looked inside at the face of a young man who looked worried.Arthur stopped and asked,"It looks like you've got a problem,"Arthur said.
"I'm afraid so.I'm in a big hurry and I can't start my car."
"Is there something I can do to help?"Arthur asked.The young man looked at the two suitcases in the back seat and then said,
"Thanks.If you're sure it wouldn't be too much trouble,you could help me get these suitcases into a taxi."
"No trouble at all.I'd be glad to help."
The young man got out and took one of the suitcases from the back seat.After placing it on the ground,he turned to get the other one.Just as Arthur picked up the first suitcase and started walking,he heard the loud noise of an alarm.
It was from te bank.There had been a robbery!
Park Avenue had been quiet a moment before.Now the air was filled with the sound of the alarm and the shouts of people running from all directions.Cars stopped and the passengers joined the crowd in front of the bank.People asked each other,"What happened?"But everyone had a different answer.
Arthur,still carrying the suitcase,turned to look at the bank and walked right into the young woman in front of him.
She looked at the suitcase and then at him.Arthur was surprised."Why is she looking at me like that?"He thought."The suitcase!She thinks I'm the bank thief!"
Arthur looked around at the crowd of people.He became frightened,and without another thought,he started to run.
