问题     When friends come to visit us in the evening, they spend their time telling us they are in a hurry and looking at their watches. It isn’t that our friends are all very busy ; it is just that we haven’t got a television. People, think that we are very strange. "But what do you do in the evening ? " they are always asking. The answer is very simple. Both my wife and I have hobbies. We certainly don’t spend our evening staring at the walls . My wife enjoys cooking and painting and often attends evening classes in foreign languages. This is particularly useful as we often go abroad for our holidays. I collect stamps and am always busy with my collection. Both of us enjoy listening to the music and Haying chess together.
    Sometimes there are power cuts and we no electricity in the house. This does not worry us as we just light candles and carry on with what we were doing before. Our friends are lost—no television!-so they don’t know what to do. On such evening our house is very full as they all come to us. They all have a good time. Instead of sitting in silence in front of the television, every-body talks and plays games. Yes, life is possible without television. [br] The phrase "power cuts "in the second paragraph means______ .
选项 A、the failure to give orders
B、the stop of the supply of electricity
C、the increase in the use of electricity
D、the cut in the number of visitors
答案 B
解析 推论题。本题通过下文便可轻易推出"power cuts"的具体含义。文中说。“有时有power cuts房子是没有电，这我们不用担心，只需点上蜡烛”，不难推出，本词语是“停电”的意思。
