    TV shows and long bus trips

    Long bus rides are like television shows. They have a beginning, a middle, and an end ? with commercials thrown in every three or four minutes. The commercials are unavoidable. They happen whether you want them or not. Every couple of minutes a billboard glides by outside the bus window. “Buy Super Clean Toothpaste.” “Drink Good’n wet root beer.” “Fill up with Pacific Gas.” Only if you sleep, which is equal to turning the television set off, are you spared the unending cry of “You Need it! Buy It now!”

    The beginning of the ride is comfortable and somewhat exciting, even if you’ve traveled that way before. Usually some things have changed ? new houses, new buildings, sometimes even a new road. The bus driver is particularly reckless or daring, the ride can be as thrilling as a suspense story. Will the driver pass the truck in time? Will the driver move into the right or the left-hand lane? After a while, of course. The excitement die down. Sleeping for a while helps pass the middle hours of the ride. Food always makes bus rides more interesting. But you’ve got to be careful of what kind of food you eat. Too much salty food can make you very thirsty between stops.

    The end of the ride is somewhat like the beginning. You know it will soon be over and there’s a kind of expectation and excitement in that. The seat, of course, has become harder as the hours have passed. By now you’ve sat with your legs crossed, with your hands in your lap, with your hands on the arm rests ? even with your hands crossed your head. The end comes just at the right time. There are just no more ways to sit.

    答案與解析：

    1. C．解析：問題問“乘客在乘坐長途旅行的途中看見了什么？”，結(jié)合文章主題（ 坐長途車就像看電視演出：兩者都可分為三個階段， 而且兩者都會被插入廣告）直接排除A， C和D（與文章主題偏差較大）。 提示：解題時往往可以參考文章主題內(nèi)容篩選被選項，縮小答案選擇范圍 ? 與文章主題相關的選項可能是答案，而與文章主題相差較大的可能不是答案。  選項C直接涉及到文章主題詞（廣告）， 因此C是答案。

    解題思路2：該題是細節(jié)題，所以答案可能在文章開頭部分。 提示：細節(jié)題的答案設置順序往往與文章的發(fā)展順序一致。 第1段的主題詞是commercials（該詞在第1段中反復出現(xiàn)）,該段結(jié)尾部分出現(xiàn)了billboard(與commercials 詞義相關)， 而且接下來的句子中涉及到的內(nèi)容都涉及到廣告， 因此推斷“廣告”會是一個考點， 因此判斷C（C中出現(xiàn)了billboards）是答案。

    （觀點句）Long bus rides are like（像, 喜歡） television shows. They  have a beginning（開始）,a middle（中間部分，中間的）,and an end（結(jié)束）?with commercials（商業(yè)廣告）thrown（扔，投，拋）in every（每一的， 每隔的） three or four minutes（分鐘）.The commercials are unavoidable（不可避免的）.They(指代commercials) happen（發(fā)生） whether you want them or not（無論…還是）.Every couple of（幾個的） minutes a billboard（廣告牌） glides by（滑過） outside(在...的外面) the bus window（窗戶）.“Buy（購買） Super（特級的，特大的，極好的） Clean（清潔的， 干凈的， 打掃） Toothpaste（牙膏）.”“Drink Good’n wet root（格威特露） beer（啤酒）.” “Fill up with （用...充滿）Pacific Gas（太平洋汽油）.” Only if you sleep, which is equal to turning the television set off, are you spared the unending cry of “You Need it! Buy It now!”

    2． A． 解析：問題問及文章的寫作目的。 選項A和C含義相關：一正一反， 因此首先重點關注。 該題是主題題。借助前面對文章主題的分析可以直接判斷A是答案。

    3. D．解析：借助文章相關句：文章第1段結(jié)尾句說“只有當你睡著了（這時你才好像關掉了電視）你才能逃離‘你需要它’，‘你現(xiàn)在就買’這樣的喊叫聲。”從這個句子看出作者并不喜歡路邊的廣告。因此D是答案。

    Long bus rides are like television shows. They have a beginning, a middle, and an end ? with commercials thrown in every three or four minutes. The commercials are unavoidable. They happen whether you want them or not. Every couple of minutes a billboard glides by outside the bus window. “Buy Super Clean Toothpaste.” “Drink Good’n wet root beer.” “Fill up with Pacific Gas.” Only if（只有在...的情況下） you sleep（睡覺）, which is equal to（等同于） turning（關掉電視） the television set off, are you spared（免除） the unending （無休止的, 不停的）cry（叫喊聲， 哭） of “You Need（需要） it! Buy（買） It now（現(xiàn)在）!”

    4．B．解析：問題問“作者認為長途汽車旅行就像是觀看電視節(jié)目，原因是因為...”， 借助上一題的解答判斷A錯誤。C與文章主題不相關，排除C；B項的內(nèi)容正是對“長途汽車旅行就像是觀看電視節(jié)目”進行的解釋， 因此判斷B 是答案。

    5. A． 解析：問題句說“作者認為旅途的結(jié)束與旅途的開始有點像，原因是因為兩者都...”。該題是細節(jié)題，因此首先關注文章結(jié)尾部分內(nèi)容：文章結(jié)尾段第1句和第2句說“你知道旅程很快就會結(jié)束，因此在此過程中會充滿著期望和興奮。”， 因此判斷旅途快結(jié)束時是令人興奮的，讓人充滿期望，被選項中只有A相吻合。

    The end of the ride is somewhat（有點）like the beginning. You know it will soon be over（結(jié)束） and there’s a kind of expectation（期望） and excitement（欣奮） in that. The seat, of course, has become harder as the hours have passed. By now you’ve sat with your legs crossed, with your hands in your lap, with your hands on the arm rests ? even with your hands crossed your head. The end comes just at the right time. There are just no more ways to sit.     (球網(wǎng)校獨家資料,如需轉(zhuǎn)載請注明出處)
