TV Shows and Long Bus Trips

Long bus rides are like televisions shows.They have a beginning,a middle,and an end一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一new houses,new buildings,sometimes even a new road.The
bus driver has a style of driving and it's fun to try to figure it out the first hour or so.If the driver is particu-
larly 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?After a while,of course.the excitement dies
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一even
with your hands crossed behind your head.The end comes just at the right time.There are just no more
ways to sit.According to the passage,what do the passengers usually see when they are on a long bus trip?A:Buses on the road.        B:Films on television.C:Advertisements on the board.        D:Gas stations.

答案 C
解析 文章第一段讲到乘长途汽车旅行就像看电视一样，汽车往前开，路两旁的广告不断地从窗旁掠过。
文章第一段说乘长途汽车旅行就像看电视一样，有开始、中间和结尾，期间还会时不时地伴有广告；紧接着描述了旅途中的这三部分及作者的感受，所以该文章讲述的是作者对乘长途汽车旅行的看法。
从文章第一段中“The commercials are unavoidable. They happen whether you want them or not.”及“Only if you sleep,which is equal to turning the television set off,are you spared the un-ending cry 'of 'You Need It! Buy It Now!'”可知，作者对这些广告的无奈。相反显示出作者更喜欢沿途没有广告牌。
由文章第一段的前两句“Long bus rides are like televisions shows. They have a beginning, middle, and an end一with commercials thrown in every three or four minutes.”可知，B项为正确答案。
文章第二段的第一句和第三段的第二句前后呼应。第二段的第一句说“The beginning ofthe ride is comfortable and somewhat exciting"；第三段第二句说“You know it will soon be over andthere' s a kind of expectation and excitement in that.”由此可看出，旅途的开始和结束都令人激动。
