Question

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 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 （魯莽的） or daring, the ride can be as thrilling （驚心動(dòng)魄的） 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 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 armrests even with your hands crossed behind your head. The end comes just at no more ways to sit.

解析試題分析：文章把長(zhǎng)途汽車旅行就像是觀看電視節(jié)目，并進(jìn)行解釋。
【小題1】細(xì)節(jié)題：?jiǎn)栴}是：“乘客在乘坐長(zhǎng)途旅行的途中看見了什么？”，結(jié)合文章主題（ 坐長(zhǎng)途車就像看電視演出：兩者都可分為三個(gè)階段， 而且兩者都會(huì)被插入廣告）選項(xiàng)A直接涉及到文章主題詞（廣告）， 因此A是答案。
【小題2】寫作目的題。 選項(xiàng)A和C含義相關(guān)：一正一反， 因此首先重點(diǎn)關(guān)注。 該題是主題。借助前面對(duì)文章主題的分析可以直接判斷C是答案。
【小題3】推理題：借助文章相關(guān)句：文章第1段結(jié)尾句說“只有當(dāng)你睡著了（這時(shí)你才好像關(guān)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�！睆倪@個(gè)句子看出作者并不喜歡路邊的廣告。因此C是答案。
【小題4】細(xì)節(jié)題：?jiǎn)栴}問“作者認(rèn)為長(zhǎng)途汽車旅行就像是觀看電視節(jié)目，原因是因?yàn)?..”，A項(xiàng)的內(nèi)容正是對(duì)“長(zhǎng)途汽車旅行就像是觀看電視節(jié)目”進(jìn)行的解釋， 因此判斷A是答案。
【小題5】細(xì)節(jié)題，因此首先關(guān)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(huì)結(jié)束，因此在此過程中會(huì)充滿著期望和興奮�！保� 因此判斷旅途快結(jié)束時(shí)是令人興奮的，被選項(xiàng)中只有B相吻合。
