Question

 Noise pollution is doing much harm to our health now. Noise is a kind of invisible killer. More and more students enjoy listening to music very much. When they listen to MP3 players,they like to turn up the volume (音量) .While watching TV,they keep the volume high. But they haven't realized that the noise is weakening their hearing. In fact,the noise not only influences each member in the family,but also influences the neighbors around.

  Noise pollution is a source of misery to people in our society. If people are often disturbed by it,they may feel uncomfortable or sad. What's worse,the noise can drive people mad sometimes. If a worker works in a printing factory for too long,he will lose his hearing much faster than a common person who works in a quieter environment. So everybody must pay attention to noise pollution.

  The following simple ways can be used to avoid noise:

  ★ Try to use noisy equipment less.

  ★ Keep the volume of TVs,radios and MP3 players as low as possible,especially late at night.

  ★ If your dog barks when left alone,make sure to leave it with a friend.

  ★ If you have a party,tell your neighbors in advance and keep the noise a little lower.

  I think the local environment protecting department should take measures to control the noise levels. Meanwhile it's everybody's duty to keep a quiet environment.

Answer 1

1. B細節(jié)理解題。由題目中的關(guān)鍵詞noise a kind of invisible killer ,可回原文定位于第一段。噪音對人們的身體健康冇害，許多人都沒有意識到這一點，因此，我們稱噪音為"無形的殺手"。

2. D詞義猜測題。由題目中的關(guān)鍵詞misery.可回原文定位于第二段。噪音污染使人承受了不適、難過、生氣或失去聽力等痛苦。misery的意思是"痛苦"，相當于suffering。

3. C細節(jié)理解題。由題目中的關(guān)鍵詞NOT true,可回原文定位于建議部分。根據(jù)"Try to use less noisy equipment."可知，盡量少用太吵鬧的設(shè)備，因此C項表述為"從不使用吵鬧的設(shè)備"是錯誤的。

4. D推理判斷題。文章主要講述了噪音污染問題，我們可以在環(huán)境雜志上看到。

5. B 主旨大意題。文章主要講述了噪音污染問題。
