    2．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 shop assistant 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 signedoff for the night．Fortunately，I didn't get any channels showing all-night movies or I would never have gotten t 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（商业广告），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．
    24．Why did the author say he was fooled into buying the TV set？C
    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．
    25．Which of the following can best replace the phrase"signed off"in Paragraph 1？A
    A．ended all their programs
    B．provided fewer channels
    C．changed to commercials
    D．showed all-night movies
    26．How did the author finally get his TV set working again？D
    A．By shaking and hitting it．
    B．By turning it on and off．
    C．By switching channels．
    D．By having it repaired．
    27．How does the author sound when telling the story？D
    A．Curious．
    B．Anxious．
    C．Cautious．
    D．Humorous．

    分析 我的彩电带给我的只有让我头疼的事．从一开始就让我很不痛快．因为我花的钱比广告上的多，这还不算，机子还是过时的，而且质量也有问题，先是接受频道不全，接着是噪音不断，最后只好自己花钱去修．

    解答 24．C  细节理解题．根据第一段第四行"when I saw newspaper advertisements for the set at seventy-five dollars less than I had paid．"当我看到报纸上75美元比我买的价格低的时候，我感觉我上当了．故选C．
    25．A 词义推测题．根据后一句Fortunately，I didn't get any channels showing all-night movies or I would never have gotten to bed．：幸运的是，我没有可以整晚看电影的频道，否则我就不能睡觉了，故选A．
    26．D 细节理解题．根据文章最后一段的My trip to the repair shop cost me $62，可知作者由于用拳头砸电视，导致电视没了噪音，也什么都不出了．最后只好自己花钱去修理店修电视机，共花了62美元，故选D．
    27．D推理判断题．根据开头Fortunately，I didn't get any channels showing all-night movies or I would never have gotten to bed．意思是说：看不了电视节目就可以睡觉；中间还说I actually began to build up my arm muscles（肌肉） shaking my set．意思是：晃动电视的同时还锻炼了胳膊上肌肉，可知作者很诙谐幽默．故选D．

    17．A few years ago，pop poets such as Murray Lachlan Young began to set poetry to rock music with some surprising results．People thought that poetry was the new rock‘n'roll．However，despite the brief popularity of a few pop poets，poetry and pop music didn't seem t o mix．But are they really so different？
    If you look back at the origins of poetry，there is a strong connection between poems and popular music．In Greek mythology，for example，the muse （女神） Erato is pictured with a lyre （里拉琴） in her hand，and looks just like the ancestor of the modern rock star with his electric guitar．In addition，the poets Shelley and Byron were as famous in the nineteenth century as the pop stars of today．
    But despite their common origins，there are many differences between poetry and pop music．Pop songs are always written for a public performance，whereas poetry often isn't．And the lyrics in pop songs sometimes have less rhythm than those in poetry．This is because the music provides the rhythm rather than the words．Pop ly rics are also simpler and often keep on saying the same thing．This repetition works well in a performance and means that pop songs are easier for people to sing and learn by heart．
    Both songs and poems tell a story or talk about feelings．Songs in particular deal with the different stages in a relationship，such as falling in love or breaking up．The words and ideas in songs are usually easier to understand than those in"serious"poetry．However，talented performers like Paul McCartney，or newer stars like Robbe Williams，often give simple songs more expression when they perform them．And some of the best lines from pop lyrics are as beautiful as poetry．
    So although pop music and poetry have many differences，they do have one important thing in common：the power to make us think about how we feel．
    32．Which of the following statements is true according to Paragraph 4？D
    A．Songs and poems are equa lly beautiful．
    B．The main theme of songs is about relationship．
    C．Songs tell stories but poems tell about feelings．
    D．Songs and poems express a similar message．
    33．According to the article，what is the difference between poetry and pop songs？C
    A．Pop songs are not always performed before an audience．
    B．Pop songs are more difficult to understand than poetry．
    C．The words in pop songs are repeated over and over again．
    D．There is more rhythm in pop songs than poetry．
    34．What did Murray Lachlan Young do a few years ago？A
    A．He had rock music and poetry combined．
    B．He surprised people with his beautiful style of writing．
    C．He wrote beautiful music for some famous poems．
    D．He invented a new kind of poem for his fans．
    35．What does the writer say about talented performers today？C
    A．They look at poetry to find ideas for their songs．
    B．They think their songs are more serious than poetry．
    C．They give songs more meaning when they sing them．
    D．They consider themselves to be more popular than poets．

    14．On a stormy day last August，Tim heard some shouting．Looking out to the sea carefully，he saw a couple of kids in a rowboat were being pulled out to sea．
    Two 12-year-old boys，Christian and Jack，rowed out a boat to search for a football．Once they'd
    rowed beyond the calm waters，a beach umbrella tied to the boat caught the wind and pulled the boat into open water．The pair panicked and tried to row back to shore．But they were no match fo it and
    the boat was out of control．
    Tim knew it would soon be swallowed by the waves．"Everything went quiet in my head，"Tim
    recalls（回忆），"I'm trying to figure out how to swim to the boys in a straight line．"
    Tim took off his clothes and jumped into the water．Every 500 yards or so，he raised his head to
    judge his progress．"At one point，I considered turning back，"he says．"I wondered if I was putting
    my life at risk．"After 30 minutes of struggling，he was close enough to yell to the boys，"Take down
    the umbrella!"
    Christian made much effort to take down the umbrella．Then Tim was able to catch up and climb
    aboard the boat．He took over rowing，but the waves were almost too strong for him．
    "Let's aim for the pier（码头），"Jack said．Tim turned the boat toward it．Soon afterward，
    waves crashed over the boat，and it beganto sink．"Can you guys swim？"he cried．"A little bit，"the
    boys said．Once they were in the water，Tim decided it would be safer and faster for him to pull the boys
    toward the pier．Christian and Jack were wearing life jackets and floated on their backs．Tim swam
    toward land as water washed over the boys'faces．
    "Are we almost there？"they asked again and again．"Yes，"Tim told them each time．
    After 30 minutes，they reached the pier．
    21．Why did the two boys go to the sea？B
    A．To go boat rowing．
    B．To get back their football．
    C．To swim in the open water．
    D．To test the umbrella as a sail．
    22．Why did Tim raise his head regularly？C
    A．To take in enough fresh air．
    B．To consider turning back or not．
    C．To check his distance from the boys．
    D．To ask the boys to take down the umbrella．
    23．How can the two boys finally reach the pier？A
    A．They were dragged to the pier by Tim．
    B．They swam to the pier all by themselves．
    C．They were washed to the pier by the waves．
    D．They were carried to the pier by Tim on his back．

    11．We tend to think of plants as the furniture of the natural world．They don't move，they don't make sounds and they don't seem to respond to anything-at least not very quickly．But as is often the case，our human's view of the world misses quite a lot．Plants talk to each other all the time．And the language is chemical．
    Over the years，scientists have reported that different types of plants，from trees to tomatoes，release compounds（化合物） into the air to help neighboring plants．These chemical warnings all have the same purpose-to spread information about one plant's disease or infestation so other plants can defend themselves．But exactly how plants receive and act on many of these signals is still mysterious．
    In this week's Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences，researchers in Japan offered some explanations．They had identified one chemical message and traced it all the way from release to action．
    The scientists looked at tomato plants infested by a common pest，the cutworm．The researchers studied leaves from exposed and unexposed plants．They found one compound showed up more often in the exposed plants．The substance is called HexVic．When the scientists fed HexVic to cutworms，it knocked down their survival rate by 17%．The scientists identified the source of HexVic，and sprayed it lightly over healthy plants．Those plants were then able to start producing the cutwormkilling HexVic．Researchers confirmed that uninfected plants have to build their own weapons to fight off bugs and disease．How do they know when to play defense？They are warned first by their friendly plant neighbors．
    It is a complex tale，and it may be happening in more plant species than tomatoes．It may also be happening with more chemical signals that are still unknown to us．Further studies are needed to increase agricultural efficiency．
    25．How do plants warn their neighbors？B
    A．They make use of winds．
    B．They release some chemicals．
    C．They identify the chemicals．
    D．They are exposed early．
    26．What's the function of HexVic？A
    A．It damages the cutworm's body．
     B．It shows up more．
    C．It cures the disease．
    D．It sprays over healthy plants．
    27．It can be inferred from the text thatC．
    A．there are not chemical signals
    B．the phenomenon may be happening in less plant species than tomatoes
    C．farmers may benefit from the further studies
    D．plants are warned first by their neighbors
    28．The passage is likely to appear inC．
    A．a newspaper advertisement        
    B．a physics textbook
    C．a science magazine               
    D．a finance report．
