B.Because they have learned that noise is also a kind of pollution.C.Because noise is an unwanted waste for human beings.D.Because people knew little about noise before.解析:解析 本文是说明文,作者主要介绍了目前严重困扰大众生活的一种污染噪声。科学家的研究发现噪声已经成为不可小视的威胁
31、。本文介绍了噪声对人类的危害以及解决这种危害的必要性。文章指出噪声给社会增加了紧张,也提到了古罗马人控制噪音的例子,并说明人们现在正在试验减少噪声的方法。根据文章第二段的第二三句话“They are surprised by what they have learned. Peace and quiet are becoming harder to find. (对于自己的发现他们感到震惊,安静越来越难以找到。)”得出结果“让那些科学家吃惊的是想在这个世界寻找安静越来越困难”,等同于选项 A 的含义:这个世界变得越来越嘈杂。而选项 B 含义为:科学家已经得知噪声是一种污染。选项 C 的含义为:
32、噪声是人类不需要的废物。选项 D 的含义为:人们以前不知道噪声的危害。以上都不是让科学家吃惊的原因。故选择 A。(2).What may happen if we cannot hear ourselves think? _(分数:4.00)A.We may forget what we have thought about.B.Our thoughts may be disturbed.C.Our mind may be harmed. D.We may have difficulty finding the right words.解析:解析 根据文章第三段得出。噪声使人们不能正常的思考,
33、并会造成头疼等精神疾病。“mental problem”指的就是“mind may be harmed”故答案选择 C。而 A,B,D 中所描述的后果不是人类不能倾听自己的思维而造成的。(3).When the writer says we cannot return to the good old days, he means that _.(分数:4.00)A.our society is becoming much worse than beforeB.in our modern society it is hard to lead a quiet life C.the old days
34、 were much happier than the present timeD.it is impossible for us to deal with noise as we did before解析:解析 该题的考点是确定句子的含义。作者认为我们不能回到过去那种(安静)的好日子,根据这句话的含义,可分析并推断该原因是现代社会很难得到安静。所以选择 B 项。而 A 含义为:我们的社会越来越糟糕。C 含义为:过去的时光比现在快乐。D 含义为:我们不可能像过去一样的去解决噪声问题。这些文章中都没有提及。(4).From the last sentence of the passage we
35、can learn that _.(分数:4.00)A.we can put noise under control if we take effective measuresB.sometimes we have to shout loudly so that others can hear usC.shouting is a chief cause of noise pollution nowadaysD.it is important to warn people of the danger of noise pollution 解析:解析 本题要求考生理解文章的最后一句话,故答案应该从
36、这个句子来分析:“But we can reduce noiseif we shout loudly enough about it. ”该句中的“shout”是关键词,它不是指大叫而是指噪声的危害性。故答案为 D。A 项文章中没有提及,而 B,C 是对于“shout”的字面理解,并没有把它和上下文联系到一起理解。(5).Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?(分数:4.00)A.Only recently did people realize the harmful effect of noise.B.Noise po
37、llution is the worst kind of pollution we suffer from.C.People are now trying to find ways to make noise as low as possible. D.The writer thinks that it is almost impossible for people to avoid noise.解析:解析 该题要求判断四个选项哪个是正确的。选项 A 可以在第四段得知,自从古罗马,人们就已经知道噪声是有危险的污染,所以排除 A。选项 B 的含义为:噪声是人类遭受到的最严重的污染,而文章中没有这
38、样说明。选项 D 说明人类无法解决噪声污染问题与最后一段前两句“Ways of making less noise are now being tested. There are even laws controlling noise. ”含义不符合。同样从这句话可以得知人类正在努力寻找解决噪声的方法,故与选项 C 符合。三、Task 2(总题数:1,分数:12.00)ST.CHARLES COMMUNITY GARAGE SALEMore than 120 homes participated last yearHelp raise money for STC Underground-the
