   My colour television has given me noth?ing but a headache. I was able to buy it a lit?tle over a year ago because I had my rela?tives 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 (靜電)noise. For some reason, when cer?tain 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.

[文章大意]本文主要介紹了作者認為自己受到了售貨員的欺騙，購買了一臺彩電，它不但價格昂貴，而且還出現(xiàn)了靜電噪聲。雖然作者采取各種措施消除這種噪聲，但是都沒有效果。最后作者只能花錢對電視機進行了修理。

16.  C 細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段中的"Ilet 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."可知作者本來可以以更低的價格購買這臺彩電，故選C項。

17.  A 詞義猜測題。根據(jù)第一段最后一句"Fortunately, I didn't get any channels showing all-night movies or I would never have gotten to bed."可知作者慶幸沒有整夜播放電影的頻道，那樣的話，節(jié)目就完不了 ，自己就不能睡覺了 ，因此可推出sign off意為"（電視節(jié)目）結束播映"。

18.  D 細節(jié)理解題。文章的最后一句"My trip to the repair shop cost me $ 62， and the set is working well now---，，表明

作者最后只好去花錢修理電視機。

19.  D推理判斷題。文章第一段提到"Fortunately, I dWn't get any channels showing all-night movies or I would never have gotten to bed."，第二段提到"I actually began to build up my arm muscles(肌肉）…"，這些都體現(xiàn)了作者幽默的敘述手法。故選擇D項。
