22. GWD25-Q22.

Springfield Fire Commissioner: thevast majority of false fire alarms are prank calls made anonymously from firealarm boxes on street corners.Since virtually everyone has access to a private telephone, these alarm boxes have outlived theirusefulness. Therefore, we proposeto remove the boxes. Removing the boxes will reduce the number of prank calls withouthampering people’s ability to report a fire.

Which of the following, if true, moststrongly supports the claim that the proposal, if carried out, will have theannounced effect?

A. Thefire department traces all alarm calls made from private telephones and recordswhere they came from.（correct）

B. Maintaining the fire alarm boxes costs Springfield

approximately five million dollars annually.

C. A telephone call can provide the firedepartment with more information about the nature and size of a fire than can analarm placed from analarm box.

D. Responding to false alarms significantlyreduces the fire department’s capacity for responding to fires.

E. On any given day, a significant percentageof the public telephones inSpringfield

areout of service.

没有理解，为什么A就可以“have the announced effect”了呢？我觉得跟trace电话从哪里打出来的根本没有关系啊~~

谢谢解答！

结论是Removing the boxes will reduce the number of prank calls withouthampering people’s ability to report a fire.
A=>人们就不会随便打prank calls ，因为谁打都能被抓到，另外，题干说了 everyone has access to a private telephone，所以这个proposal 就不会hampering people’s ability to report a fire。不知这样解释对你有无帮助。
