Question

【题目】阅读短文，根据要求完成下面各小题。

Have you ever counted the number of digits (数字) in your mobile phone number? Your number has 11 digits. You may sometimes find it hard to remember your number. That’s because China has the longest mobile phone numbers in the world. Why is that?

The 11 digits can be divided into three parts. Each part has a different meaning. The first three numbers tell you which mobile phone service provider (提供者) you are using For example, 135 is for China Mobile Communications Corporation and 188 is for China Unicom. The fourth to the seventh digits tell you where the number is registered (注册). And the last four digits are random (随机的).

The main reason for using 11 digits is that we have the largest population in the world. We once had 10 numbers. But as our population grew, there were not enough numbers for us to use. So we began to use 11 digits starting from 1999. Eleven digits can be used to make tens of billions of mobile phone numbers.83That’s enough for each person to have seven or eight phone numbers to use in China.

And mobile phone numbers can be recycled. Usually, the service provider will reuse a canceled number after three to six months.84If you call a number that you haven’t contacted (联系) for a long time, you may find that its owner has changed.

Besides China, Britain and Japan also use 11-digit mobile phone numbers. But their numbers always start with 0. So they cannot create as many numbers as we can. Countries like the United States, Australia and India use phone numbers with 10 digits. Canada’s mobile phone numbers are perhaps the shortest in the world: they use seven digits.

【5】Mobile Phone Numbers

【解析】

这篇短文介绍了中国手机号码为什么是十一位及每部分数字代表的意思，还介绍除了中国还有一些国家也使用11位手机号码。

【1】根据最后一段第一句Besides China, Britain and Japan also use 11-digit mobile phone numbers.可知，除了中国，英国和日本也使用11位数的手机号码。故答案为No, it isn't. Because Britain and Japan also use 11-digit mobile phone numbers.。

【2】根据第三段The main reason for using 11 digits is that we have the largest population in the world.使用11位数字作为号码主要是因为我们拥有世界上最多的人口，故答案为 Because we have the largest population in the world.

【3】分析句子，可知本句动词不定式动作的发出者是each person每个人，to have seven or eight phone numbers to use有7到8个电话号码可以使用，that's enough那是足够的，that指代“每个人使用七八个手机号”这件事。in China在中国，是地点状语。故答案为在中国每个人使用七八个手机号，那是足够的。

【4】本句是含有条件状语从句的主从复合句。从句的主语you你，谓语call拨打，宾语a number一个号码，that you haven't contacted for a long time你很长一段时间不联系，是that连接的一个定语从句，修饰a mumber。所以从句译成“如果你拨打很长一段时间不联系的号码”。主句谓语may find可能发现，宾语是that连接的从句its owner has changed它的主人已经换了。所以主句译为你可能发现它的主人已经更换。故答案为如果你拨打很长一段时间不联系的号码，你可能发现它的主人已经更换。

【5】本文主要围绕着电话号码阐述问题，所以Mobile Phone Numbers是一个合适的标题。标题每个词的首字母大写，故答案为Mobile Phone Numbers。
