Answer 1

分析 本文主要講述了linda和David旅行到了悉尼，David認為通過打電話的方式報平安花費大說話少，而 Linda不同意他的看法，但最終證明David 是正確的．

解答 24．B推理判斷題．由Linda has promised（答應(yīng)） her mother that she will ring her to let her know that they have arrived safely．可知琳達答應(yīng)她的母親，當她安全到達時會給她打電話的，因此這里要選B．
25．D細節(jié)理解題．由it doesn't cost much when you just think that it's the other side of the world．可知琳達認為這里是世界的另一端，因此電話費不貴，所以這里要選D．
26．A推理判斷題． 根據(jù)Linda has promised her mother that she will ring her to let her know that they have arrived safely我們知道，這里的幾乎四鎊了，是為了提醒琳達電話費的，因此這里選A．
27．B細節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)At last，Linda cuts her mother short，promises to write，and rings off．"There!That wasn't long，was it？"我們可以知道琳達的母親很喜歡說話，一說就沒停，因此這里要選B．

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(guān)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(guān)鍵句子的基礎(chǔ)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)．
