Answer 1

答案：B;D;D;C
解析：

(1) B；受騙者并沒有聽出是誰來，對(duì)方說“是我!”受騙者就草率地認(rèn)為是自己的某個(gè)親戚。由Victims think the person on the telephone must be a close relative…得出。 (2) D；細(xì)節(jié)理解題。40歲以上的婦女最容易上當(dāng)。由“Many of the victims were women over 40”得出。 (3) D；此題考查細(xì)節(jié)概括題。文章中說，騙子假裝綁架了孩子來敲詐，概括為采取更危險(xiǎn)的行動(dòng)。由最后一句得出。 (4) C；概括題。這種騙術(shù)的關(guān)鍵是騙子不說姓名，只說“是我!”讓人自己去想像對(duì)號(hào)，上當(dāng)受騙。
