20.One day,when 12-year-old Sean Redden went to a popular chat room on the Internet,he saw the name of someone he'd never seen there before,Susan Hicks.Her message was"Would someone help me?I can't breathe.Help me!I can't feel my left side."At first,Sean thought it was a bad joke and he told his mother Sharon Redden.But she asked,"It's not just some game,is it?
The message was not a joke."Susan Hicks"was actually 20-year-old Taija Laitinen,a student working late at night at a college library near Helsinki,Finland---almost 7,000miles away from Sean's home in Texas.While searching the Internet,she began to feel terrible pain all through her body.The library was empty and the nearest phone was outside in the hallway.She couldn't move that far because any movement caused the pain to get worse.Then as the pain became worse,she began typing her message for help in the chat room.
"I don't think it's a joke,mom,"Sean said.He typed,"Where are you?The letters appeared,"Finland."Sean and Sharon couldn't believe it.Not knowing what else to do,Sharon called the local police and explained the situation to officer Amy Schmidt.Schmidt told Sharon to try to get the sick girl's phone number and address.
Meanwhile,the Texas police called the international telephone operator and asked to be connected to the proper agency(机构) in Finland.The Texas police explained the situation and gave Susan's address to the Finnish operator.When Sean heard that,he typed,"Help is on the way."
In the few minutes,the library door opened.Doctors and three policemen ran in.Taija turned once more to the computer,"They are here.Thanks.Bye-bye."

分析 文是一篇记叙文,讲述了一名十二岁的少年Sean Redden 偶然在聊天室看到Susan Hicks的求救信息,并帮助她成功获救的故事.
解答 13-16ADCB
13.A 细节理解题.根据第二段At first,Sean thought it was a bad joke and he told his mother Sharon Redden.可知Sean 认为这只是一个恶作剧,即他并不相信这条求救信息,故选A.
14.D 细节理解题.根据第三段She couldn't move that far because any movement caused the pain to get worse.Then as the pain became worse,she began typing her message for help in the chat room.可知Susan 因在图书馆上班时突然感到身体疼痛,无法行动而求助.
15.C 推理判断题.根据第五段Meanwhile,the Texas police called the international telephone operator and asked to be connected to the proper agency(机构) in Finland.可知是警方不是Finnland的警方,而是Texas的警方.故A错误.根据第三段"Susan Hicks"was actually 20-year-old Taija Laitinen.可知Taija Laitinen是Susan Hicks的真名,故B错误.根据第六段In the few minutes,the library door opened.Doctors and three policemen ran in.Taija turned once more to the computer,"They are here.Thanks.Bye-bye."可知Sean提供的帮助是非常及时的.故C正确.根据第一段he saw the name of someone he'd never seen there before可知Sean和Susan之前并不认识,故D错误.
16.B 句意理解题.On the way的意思是"在路上,即将",再联系上下文可知答案选B,"即将到达."故答案为B
