Question

【題目】 In today's world, almost everyone knows that air pollution and water pollution are harmful to people's health. However, not all the people know that noise is also a kind of pollution, and that is harmful to human health, too.

People who work and live under noisy conditions usually become deaf. Today, scientists believe that 10% of the workers in Britain are becoming deaf because of the noise where they work. Many of the workers who print newspapers and who weave cloth（織布）become deaf. Plenty of people living near airports also become deaf. Recently it was discovered that many teenagers in America could hear no better than 65-year-old persons, because these young people like to listen to pop music and most of pop music is a kind of noise. Besides, noise which is produced by jet planes or machines will make people's life difficult and unpleasant. It can make people ill or even drive them mad.

It is said that a continuous noise of more than 85 decibels（分貝）can cause deafness. Now the governments in many countries have made laws to control noise and make it less than 85 decibels.

In China, the government is trying to solve not only air and water pollution problems but also noise pollution problems.

【解析】

本文是一篇說(shuō)明文，說(shuō)明了在今天的世界上，幾乎每個(gè)人都知道空氣污染對(duì)人們身體有害，然而，并不是所有人都知道噪聲污染也對(duì)身體有害，聲音超過(guò)85分貝，可以導(dǎo)致耳聾，所以在每個(gè)國(guó)家制定法律減少或控制噪音使它小于85分貝。

【1】細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)文中Today, scientists believe that 10% of the workers in Britain are becoming deaf because of the noise where they work.可知，科學(xué)家們認(rèn)為，英國(guó)有10%的工人因?yàn)楣ぷ鲌?chǎng)所嘈雜而耳聾。故選C。

【4】詞句猜測(cè)。根據(jù)下文noise of more than 85 decibels（分貝）can cause deafness. Now the governments in many countries have made laws to control noise and make it less than 85 decibels.可知，據(jù)說(shuō)持續(xù)超過(guò)85分貝的噪音會(huì)導(dǎo)致耳聾。continuous的意思是“持續(xù)”。故選B。
