问题详情:
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 seventy-five 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 got 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 (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.

本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者被愚弄以较高的价格买了台电视,之后每天晚上沉迷于看电视,结果电视坏了,作者只好又花了一笔钱修电视的事情。
15.细节理解题。根据第一段when I saw newspaper advertisements for the set at seventy-five dollars less than I had paid可知,当作者看到报纸上这个广告比他买的便宜了75块钱的时候,他感觉受愚弄了。故选C。
16.词义猜测题。根据文章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 all-night movies or I would never have gotten to bed.(这台电视在刚买的时候如此之美以至于我会直到电视台signed off才关掉。幸运的是,没有频道是整个晚上播电影的,否则我永远都不会睡觉)可推知,划线词组意为“结束了他们所有的项目”。故选A。
17.细节理解题。根据文章最后一句My trip to the repair shop cost me $62, and the set is working well now.可知,作者在修理店花了62块钱修好了电视。故选D。
18.推理判断题。根据文章内容可知,作者是在用幽默的语气讲这件事情的。故选D。
