A
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 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 (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 D|S62, and the set is working well now, but I keep expecting more trouble.
语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者认为自己在售货员的欺骗下，购买了一台电视机，因为这种型号的电视机已停止生产，而且作者还多花了钱。不仅如此，作者在看节目的时候，电视还出现了静电噪音。文章着重描写了作者采取各种措施来消除这种噪音，比如换台、摇晃电视机等。最后作者花了很多钱修好了电视机。
21．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.
解析：选C 推理判断题。A项“他购买的型号比自己所期望的要老”与文章第一段第三句话“我被售货员欺骗购买了一个已经停产的型号”有出入，可排除；B项“当电视坏了的时候，他不能退还”在文中没有提到；D项“他在这台电视上找不到任何电影”与第一段最后一句“幸运的是，我没有那种播放整夜电影的频道，否则一宿都不能睡觉了”信息不一致。根据第一段中的“at seventy-five dollars less than I had paid(比我所付的钱少75美元)”可知，C项“他本可以以更低的价格买这台电视的”正确。
22．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 all-night movies
解析：选A 词义猜测题。该短语前的“I would keep it on”说明作者非常喜欢看电视，一直看到电视台停止播放节目为止，故A项“结束所有的节目”与短语sign off“结束广播/电视节目”意义相近，为正确答案。
23．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.
解析：选D 细节理解题。根据文章第二、三段的描述可知，当出现静电噪音并影响作者看节目的时候，作者采取了换台的方法，但是有时不起作用，排除C项；然后作者又采取了“举起来摇晃电视”及“用拳头击打”的方法，后来这一招也失效了，排除A项；B项“不断地开关电视”在文章中没有提到。再根据文章最后一句话“My trip to the repair shop cost me D|S62, and the set is working well now ...”可知，作者最后只好花钱修理电视，且到目前为止电视还没有再出现什么问题，故选D项。
24．How does the author sound when telling the story? A．Curious. B．Anxious. C．Cautious. D．Humorous.
解析：选D 推理判断题。这是一道判断作者讲述口吻的试题。文章第一段中的“Fortunately, I didn't get any channels showing all-night movies or I would never have gotten to bed.”和第二段中当作者不断地摇晃电视来消除静电噪音的时候，他说“I actually began to build up my arm muscles (肌肉) ... (我居然开始练出胳膊肌肉……)”等，体现了作者幽默的写作手法。
B
Your house may have an effect on your figure. Experts say the way you design your home could play a role in whether you pack on the pounds or keep them off. You can make your environment work for you instead of against you. Here are some ways to turn your home into part of your diet plan.
Open the curtains and turn up the lights. Dark environments are more likely to encourage overeating, for people are often less self-conscious (难为情) when they're in poorly lit places —
and so more likely to eat lots of food. If your home doesn't have enough window light, get more lamps and flood the place with brightness.
Mind the colors. Research suggests warm colors fuel our appetites. In one study, people who ate meals in a blue room consumed 33 percent less than those in a yellow or red room. Warm colors like yellow make food appear more appetizing, while cold colors make us feel less hungry. So when it's time to repaint, go blue.
Don't forget the clock — or the radio. People who eat slowly tend to consume about 70 fewer calories (卡路里) per meal than those who rush through their meals. Begin keeping track of the time, and try to make dinner last at least 30 minutes. And while you're at it, actually sit down to eat. If you need some help slowing down, turn on relaxing music. It makes you less likely to rush through a meal.
Downsize the dishes. Big serving bowls and plates can easily make us fat. We eat about 22 percent more when using a 12-inch plate instead of a 10-inch plate. When we choose a large spoon
over a smaller one, total intake (摄入) jumps by 14 percent. And we'll pour about 30 percent more liquid into a short, wide glass than a tall, skinny glass.
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。当你在家里吃饭的时候，有没有担心自己吃得越来越多，
正在变胖？快来看看吧，家里的环境，包括窗户和灯的亮度、墙壁的颜色以及吃饭的速度等都可以影响你的饮食。也许你肥胖的罪魁祸首就在你的家里！
25．The text is especially helpful for those who care about________. A．their home comforts B．their body shape C．house buying D．healthy diets
解析：选B 细节理解题。根据文章首句“Your house may have an effect on your figure.(你的房子可能会影响你的身材。)”以及下面几个段落中提到的建议可知，本文是关于如何不变胖的，所以那些“关心自己体形的人”会觉得本文特别有帮助，故选B项。
26．A home environment in blue can help people________. A．digest food better B．reduce food intake C．burn more calories D．regain their appetites
解析：选B 细节理解题。根据文章第三段中的“...people who ate meals in a blue room consumed 33 percent less than those in a yellow or red room.”可知，人们在蓝色的房间里吃饭，要比在黄色或者红色的房间里少吃33%的食物，故B项“减少食物摄入量”正确。
27．What are people advised to do at mealtimes? A．Eat quickly. B．Play fast music.
C．Use smaller spoons. D．Turn down the lights.
解析：选C 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“People who eat slowly ... than those who rush through their meals.”可知，吃饭越快吃得越多，排除A项。根据第四段中的“If you need some help slowing down, turn on relaxing music.”可知，播放令人放松的音乐能让吃饭的速度减慢，排除B项。根据第二段首句“Open the curtains and turn up the lights.”可排除D项。根据最后一段中的“When we choose a large spoon ... by 14 percent.”可知，应使用较小的汤匙，故C项正确。
28．What can be a suitable title for the text? A．Is Your House Making You Fat? B．Ways of Serving Dinner C．Effects of Self-Consciousness
D．Is Your Home Environment Relaxing?
解析：选A 标题归纳题。本文主要介绍了墙壁的颜色、房间的亮度、吃饭的速度以及吃饭时使用的器皿大小等都与一个人的身材有关。因此A项“你的房子正让你发胖吗？”最适合做文章标题。
C
More students than ever before are taking a gap year (间隔年) before going to university. It used to be called the “year off” between school and university. The gap-year phenomenon
originated (起源) with the months left over to Oxbridge applicants between entrance exams in November and the start of the next academic year.
This year, 25,310 students who have accepted places in higher education institutions have put off their entry until next year, according to statistics on university entrance provided by the University and College Admissions Service(UCAS)．
That is a record 14.7% increase in the number of students taking a gap year. Tony Higgins from UCAS said that the statistics are good news for everyone in higher education. “Students who take a well-planned year out are more likely to be satisfied with, and complete, their chosen
course. Students who take a gap year are often more mature and responsible，” he said.
But not everyone is happy. Owain James, the president of the National Union of Students (NUS), argued that the increase is evidence of student hardship — young people are being forced into earning money before finishing their education. “New students are now aware that they are
