A
You can use your Business Telecard International at any card phone in the United Kingdom.Here is some information about making international phone calls.
You can now phone almost any country in the world, although in some cases you can only call big cities. When you cannot make direct dialing calls, you can ask the international operator to
help you. This is more expensive and takes more time, but it may be helpful if you want to speak to a particular person and no one else, in this case you should ask for a " person-to-person" call.Even more expensive is a reverse charge call where the person who receives the call pays. If the in-temational line is busy, you can reserve(留下)a call, explain the number you want and the opera-tor will call you back when the line is free.
You can save money by calling outside office hours, for example, early in the morning, late at night, and on Sundays. Remember that the time may be different in the country that you are calling. International time is based on GMT (Greenwich Mean Time). London is on GMT and Moscow, for example, is 3 hours ahead. There is one problem: change to DST (Daylight Saving Time) for the summer. In the UK, clocks are put forward one hour in spring and put back in au- tumn, and so London is actually one hour ahead of GMT in the summer.
56. What is the most expensive type of call?
[ A] Direct dial.
[ B ] Through the operator.
[ C ] Reverse charge call.
[ D ] Calling outside office hours.请帮忙给出正确答案和分析,谢谢!

参考答案

正确答案:C
参考译文A你可以在英国的任何一个磁卡电话上使用国际商务磁卡,以下是关于打国际长途电话的一些信息。有了磁卡以后,你现在可以把电话打到全球任何一个国家了,不过有的国家只能拨通大都市的电话。如果你无法直接拔通的话,你可以向国际接线员求助,当然这一来可能会花费更多的钱和时间,但如果你要求的是双方直接对话的话,它会帮助你直接连线到你要找的人。如果付费方式是对方付款(接电话的人付费)的话,则电话费会更加昂贵。如果国际线路正忙的话,你可以留下自己的电话号码以及你想要拨打的电话号码,等线路不忙的时候,接线员会跟你联系。如果你想节省一点钱的话,你可以在非办公时间拨打电话,所谓非办公时间是指清晨,深夜以及周日。但要注意一点,你所拔打的国家的时间可能与你所在国家的时间不同。国际时间是以格林尼治时间为标准的。伦敦正好符合格林尼治时间,而莫斯科则要快三个小时。另外还有一个问题,还要根据夏令时来估计时间。以英国为例,春天的时间要调快一个小时,而秋天的时间则要慢一个小时,因此伦敦夏季的时间要比格林尼治时间快一个小时。答案及解析56.C【解析】事实细节题。从文章第二段倒数第二句话,Evenmoreexpen-siveisareversechargecallwherethepersonwhoreceivesthecallpays.可知,要是拨打对方付款电话更贵,所以正确的答案为C。
