20.On Christmas Eve a few years ago an English couple received a very special telephone call.It was only a 20-second call but it was very important.The Haydens'15-year-old daughter had disappeared six months before.On Christmas Eve she rang them."I'm phoning to wish a happy Christmas,"she said,"I love you."
Ronals and Edwine Hayden were so happy that they started a special telephone service called"Alive and Well".The service helps parents to get in touch with children who have run away from home.
Young people can phone"Alive and Well"and leave a message for their parents.The telephones are answered by answering machines.So no one can speak to the child of making him return home.
Parents of runaway children who are under eighteen can ask the police to bring their children home,so children do not want to tell their parents where they are.Through"Alive and Well"they can telephone their parents without worrying about this or giving out their addresses.
The Haydens and their helpers write down the tape recorded telephone messages and connect the address given.Many of the 30,000 British teenagers who have left home are probably in London.For only two pence they can go into a telephone coin box and call their parents.They can dial (撥) 5675339 and stop a parent's worry:Is he dead or alive?

分析 本文介紹了一種叫做"Alive and Well"的專線電話.離家出走的孩子只要撥通家里電話,"Alive and Well"就會自動向所撥通的號碼發(fā)送語音信息,以告知家人自己平安、讓家人放心.因為接聽電話的人與撥打電話的人相互之間不能通話,所以撥打電話的孩子不必擔心暴露自己的行蹤從而被警察強行遣送回家.
解答 66.D推斷題.Ronals and Edinwin Hayden夫婦正是受到女兒來電的啟發(fā)創(chuàng)設了"Alive and Well"專線電話.從文章第四段可知,這種專線電話是由應答機接聽來電的,然后自動向被撥打電話發(fā)送語音信息,這期間實際上沒有人能夠與撥打人直接通話.離家出走的孩子通過該專線向家人報平安,而無需擔心被遣送回家或泄露自己的處所.據(jù)此推斷,Ronals and Edinwin Hayden夫婦離家出走的女兒給他們打電話也是為了報個平安.從來電看不出來她有"認錯"或者"告知地址"、"說要回家"的意思.故D項正確.
67.B文章第四段介紹了"Alive and Well"專線電話的功能及操作,故而可以排除A,C,D三項.故B項正確.
68.D根據(jù)"Alive and Well"專線helps parents to get in touch with children who have run away from home(第二段),可以讓擔心之中的父母得知孩子平安,所以對他們很"重要".該專線就是Ronals and Edwine Hayden夫婦設立的,所以A項錯誤.For only two pence they can go into a telephone coin box and call their parents(最后一段).只需兩個便士就可以撥打該專線,因此排除B項.文章最后一段Many of the 30,000 British teenagers who have left home are probably in London.說英國三萬離家出走的兒童有許多在倫敦,并沒有說這三萬人都撥打了專線,排除C項.故D項正確.
69.C根據(jù)該專線電話的功能和操作可知,父母不能與孩子直接通話,也不會知道孩子在什么地方,因而排除A,D兩項.接到電話的父母至少知道孩子是平安的,所以B項錯誤.故選擇C項.
70.D細節(jié)題.由第一段The Haydens'15-year-old daughter had disappeared six months before.一句可知,他們的女兒是六個月前出走的.故D項正確.
點評 本文是一個人物故事類閱讀理解,題目涉及多道細節(jié)理解題,做題時結(jié)合原文和題目有針對性的找出相關語句進行仔細分析,結(jié)合選項選出正確答案.推理判斷題也是要在抓住關鍵句子的基礎上合理的分析才能得出正確答案,切忌胡亂猜測,一定要做到有理有據(jù)
