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 has a style of driving and it’s fun to try to figure it out the first hour or so. If the 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 dies down. Sleeping for a while helps pass the middle hours of a 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 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 behind your head.
The end comes just at the right time. There are just no more ways to sit.
The writer of this passage would probably favor______.
选项
A、bus drivers who weren’t reckless
B、driving alone
C、a television set on the bus
D、no billboards along the road
答案
D
解析
判断推理题。这道题的答案在第一段: They happen whether you want them or not.Every couple of minutes a billboard glides by outside the bus window.(广告是躲不开的,不管你是否需要,它们每隔几分钟就从车窗边闪过。)另一句: Only if you sleep,which is equal to turning the television set off…The commercials are unavoidable.(只有当你睡着时,就像关掉电视一样,才会免受广告的干扰。)从这些句子的语气中可以看出作者不喜欢那些广告牌。选项A是细心的司机;选项B单独驾车;选项C客车上的电视机,这些都和原文意思不符。因此选D。
