二、阅读理解
(2015•新课标全国卷Ⅱ)
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 later, when I saw newspaper advertisements for the set at seventyfive 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. Fortunately, I didn't get any channels showing allnight 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.
语篇解读 这是一篇记叙文。作者用诙谐、幽默的语气讲述了自己高价购买的一台电视机给自己带来的诸多烦恼。
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.
答案与解析 C 考查细节理解。依据第一段中的“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 seventyfive dollars less than I had paid”可知答案。
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
答案与解析 A 考查词义猜测。结合画线部分所在的句子“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，此处指作者一开始把它带回家时，一切如此顺利以至于作者一直看到电视台“停止播放节目”。故选A。
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.
答案与解析 D 考查细节理解。依据最后一段的“My trip to the repair shop cost me $62, and the set is working well now”可知，最终作者到维修店才使电视机恢复正常。
4．How does the author sound when telling the story?
A. Curious.
B. Anxious.
C. Cautious.
D. Humorous.
答案与解析 D 考查推理判断。由文章第一段的“My color television has given me nothing but a headache”，第二段中的“I actually began to build up my arm muscles (肌肉) shaking my set”，以及最后一段中的“but I keep expecting more trouble”可知，作者用幽默的语气描述了这台电视机给自己带来的烦恼。
