D
【答案解析】[听力原文] W: Hey! You got a new television. M: Yeah! It was delivered yesterday. What do you think of it? W: It's huge. It practically takes up the entire side of the room. M: I know. I know. You don't think it is, well, excessive, do you? W: I didn't say that. I mean, if you enjoy it, why not? What happened to your old TV, anyhow? M: It just stopped working last Friday. It was pretty old and didn't work well. I thought I could afford it. Why not get a new one? W: It must be quite expensive. M: Well, not as much as you imagine. I got it on sale for 50% off. W: Really? Where? M: At the Stereo City on Route 20. You know at first I just wanted to replace what I had. A TV of about the same size and quality, but the salesman was pushing these because they were 50% off. W: Yeah. But 50% off what? M: 2,400 dollars. W: You spent $1,200 on a TV? M: It's got a lot of special features. Look at this remote control. W: I am sure. But that's still a lot of money. I don't think you watch TV very much. M: Well, I don't. Do you think I ought to return it? If I do it within a week of purchase, I can get my money back. W: Honestly, yes. I think you ought to choose the model you need before you go to the store. That way you will get what you want. What can we learn about the man's old TV? 女士问男士他的旧电视机出了什么毛病,男士回答:“从上周五开始这台旧电视机就不运作了”。D中的not functioning是对话中stopped working的同义改写,故正确。 ①从选项预测本题为对某物的描述。②男子并未提及旧电视机的质量如何,A可排除。B与对话内容的意思相反;C利用对话中出现的pretty和huge等词制造干扰,块头大实际上是现在新买的电视机的特点,故C错误。
