Passage Three
Telephone books in the United States have white, blue and yellow pages. The white pages list people with phones by last name. [32]The blue pages contain numbers of city services, government agencies, and public schools. Businesses and professional services are listed in a special section-the Yellow Pages.
[33]To make a long distance call, you need an area code. Each area in the U.S. has an area code. The area covered by one area code may be small or large. For example, New York City has one area code, but so does the whole state of Oregon. If you want to know the area code of a place, you can look it up in the area map which is printed in the front of the white pages.
There are a lot of public telephones in the U.S. They have their own numbers. [34]If you are making a long distance call on a public phone and run out of money, give the number on your phone to the person you're talking to. Then hang up the receiver and he can call you back.
[35]If you make a long distance call and get a wrong number, call the operator and explain what happened. This means that you can make the call again to the right number without having to pay more money.

答案解析：
32. In a telephone book, where can you find the number of a city council?
[B]解析：推斷題。電話藍(lán)頁上包含城市服務(wù)、政府部門和公立學(xué)校的電話號碼，而city council屬于government agencies，因此可以在藍(lán)頁上查到，故B正確。
33. What should you check in a telephone book for a long distance call?
[C]解析：細(xì)節(jié)題。提到打長途電話后馬上就說了需要“區(qū)號”，即C。選項(xiàng)D是強(qiáng)干擾項(xiàng)，注意area map上面也有“區(qū)號”，所以區(qū)域圖只是查找區(qū)號的一種手段。
34. How can you avoid losing contact when making calls on public phones without much money left?
[C]解析：細(xì)節(jié)題。如果在打長途電話時用光了錢，可以告訴對方你所用公用電話的號碼，然后讓對方打過來，故C正確。
35. What should you do if you get a wrong number in making a long distance call?
[B]解析：細(xì)節(jié)題。如果打長途電話時撥錯號了，打給接線員解釋一下情況，接線員會再次幫你接通，故B正確。if后面的內(nèi)容是考點(diǎn)。
