（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（a、b、c和d）中，选出最佳选项。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 wouldnt 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 didnt 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 me62, and the set is working well now, but i keep expecting more trouble.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 couldnt 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.22. which of the following can best replace the phrase “signed off” in paragraph1? a. ended all their programs b. provided fewer channels c. changed to commercials d. showed all-night movies23. 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.24. how does the author sound when telling the story?a. curious b. anxious c. cautious d. humorous byour 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 theyre in poorly lit places-and so more likely to eat lots of food. if your home doesnt have enough window light, get more lamps and flood the place with brightness.mind the colors. research suggests warm colors fuel our appetites（胃口）. 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 its time to repaint, go blue.dont 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 youre 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 well pour about 30 percent more liquid into a short, wide glass than a tall, skinny glass.25. the text is especially helpful for those who care about_.a. their home comforts b. their body shapec. house buying d. healthy diets26. a home environment in blue can help people_.a. digest（消化） food better b. reduce food intake（摄入）c. burn more calories d. regain their appetites27. what are people advised to do at mealtimes?a. eat quickly b. play fast musicc. use smaller spoons d. turn down the lights 28. what can be a suitable title for the text?a. is your house making you eat?b. ways of serving dinnerc. effects of self-consciousnessd. is your home environment relaxing?cif you want to become a fluent english speaker you should take some advice: there are four skills in learning english. they are reading, listening, speaking, and writing. the most important thing you must remember is that if you want to improve your speaking and writing skills you should first master the skills of reading and listening. read as much as you can. but your reading must be active. it means that you must think about the meaning of the sentence, the meaning of the unfamiliar words, etc. there is no need for you to pay much attention to grammars or try to understand all the unfamiliar words you come across, but the fact that you see them for first time and recognize them whenever you see them, for example, in other passages or books, is enough. it would be better to prepare yourself a notebook so you can write down the important words or sentences in it.as for listening, there are two choices:besides reading, you can listen every day for about 30 minutes. you can only pay attention to your reading and become skillful at your reading, then you can catch up on your listening. since you have lots of inputs in your mind, you can easily guess what the speaker is going to say. this never means that you should not practise listening.for listening you can listen to cartoons or some movies that are specially made for children. their languages are easy. or if you are good at listening you can listen to voa or bbc programs every day. again the thing to remember is being active in listening and preferably taking some notes.if you follow these pieces of advice, your speaking and writing will improve automatically, and you can be sure that with a little effort they will become perfect.29. according to the author, which should you improve first among the four skills?a. reading and listening b. reading and writing c. writing and speaking d. speaking and listening 30. the underlined phrase “come across” in the second paragraph can probably be replaced by “_”.a. meet by accident b. discoverc. find on purpose d. look for31. the author seems to agree with view that_.a. everyone should listen to voa or bbc programs every dayb. you neednt practise listening if you keep on reading every dayc. being good at reading is helpful in improving your listeningd. you should take notes of whatever you are hearing32. the passage is mainly about how to _.a. choose suitable listening materialsb. deal with new words in reading c. improve your english as quickly as possibled. become fluent in speaking and writing english dearthquakes are something that people fear. there are some places that have few or no earthquakes. most places in the world, however, have them regularly(经常).
