問題詳情:
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 (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】
本文是一篇記敘文。文章講述了作者被愚弄以較高的價格買了臺電視,之後每天晚上沉迷於看電視,結果電視壞了,作者只好又花了一筆錢修電視的事情。
15.細節理解題。根據第一段when I saw newspaper advertisements for the set at seventy-five dollars less than I had paid可知,當作者看到報紙上這個廣告比他買的便宜了75塊錢的時候,他感覺受愚弄了。故選C。
16.詞義猜測題。根據文章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.(這臺電視在剛買的時候如此之美以至於我會直到電視臺signed off才關掉。幸運的是,沒有頻道是整個晚上播電影的,否則我永遠都不會睡覺)可推知,劃線片語意為“結束了他們所有的專案”。故選A。
17.細節理解題。根據文章最後一句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塊錢修好了電視。故選D。
18.推理判斷題。根據文章內容可知,作者是在用幽默的語氣講這件事情的。故選D。
