You should know that this habit is bad for your hearing, according to the World Health Organization (WHO).Over 1 billion young people have problems in listening because they listen at loud volumes for a long time, WHO said. Listening to music or watching a TV show at loud volumes can harm your hearing.The United Nations has standards for safe listening. It is not safe to listen to sounds that are louder than 85 decibels (分贝) for eight hours or 100 dB for 15 minutes. The sound of a busy road is about 85 dB and the sound of a rock concert can be about 100 dB.Loud noise is harmful to the inner ear. Most of us are born with about 16,000 hair cells (听毛细胞) in our inner ears. These cells detect (探测) sounds. However, listening to loud noise for a long time can make these cells work too hard and make some of them die. This is why people have hearing loss.Some people might think that their music isnt all that loud. But this can depend on where you are. For example, if you are in a noisy place like the subway, you might turn up your music too loud without realizing it. Later, when you listen to it at the same volume in a quiet place, you might feel uncomfortable.WHO said the safe level for most sound is below 80 decibels for up to 40 hours a week. A level of 80 decibels is roughly equal to the noise of a subway.（1）According to the story, WHO suggests that it is NOT safe to _. A . listen to music every dayB . watch TV for over an hourC . listen to loud sounds for longD . go to a rock concert（2）The sound level of a busy road is about _. A . 80 dBB . 85 dBC . 100 dBD . 115 dB（3）Why can listening to loud music cause hearing problems? A . Because it puts our brains under great pressure.B . Because it can cause hair cells in the inner ear to die.C . Because it prevents our ears from resting.D . Because it allows people to get used to listening to loud sounds.（4）What can we get from the last paragraph? A . People love to listen to loud music.B . Its reasonable to listen to loud music in some places.C . People are likely to listen to music on the subway.D . People dont always realize how loud their music is 12. （8分）阅读理解 The world is getting smaller, at least when it comes to language. More and more people speak the three most common languages: English, Spanish, and Chinese. As a result, local languages are being forgotten. In many parts of the world, grandparents speak a language that their grandchildren do not understand. Because these local languages arent taught to children or spoken at home, they are slowly disappearing（消失）。A language is said to be in trouble when less than 30 percent of local children speak it. It is considered a dying language. If children no longer learn to use a language, it will have fewer and fewer speakers over time and after a long time the language will be gone.Why should we keep languages alive? Languages show how a culture understands or explains the world. You need to look at different kinds of languages, because no one language gets it all, said researcher Dr. Linda Cumberland who is working to save Assiniboine, a Native American language.According to Dr. Cumberland, a dying language needs a dictionary and people to understand and record its grammar. More importantly, you need to listen to those who still speak the language. This can be very difficult, especially if there are very few speakers of the language left. For example, when researchers were working to save the language Ayapaneco in Mexico, it was hard for them to record anything. Why? The last two people on Earth who could speak the language declined to speak to each other.（1）Why are local languages being spoken less and less? A . Because people who know the languages speak to each other less and less.B . Because people prefer to learn and speak more common languages.C . Because children dont talk much to their grandparents.D . Because people use computers to communicate now.（2）When is a language considered to be in trouble? A . When it is only spoken by local people.B . When no dictionaries record its grammar.C . When about 50 percent of local people speak it.D . When fewer than 30 percent of local children speak it.（3）Which of the following is TRUE about Dr. Linda Cumberland? A . She does some research on local languages.B . She prefers to speak more common languages.C . She once worked to save the language Ayapaneco in Mexico.D . She doesnt think a dictionary is necessary for a dying language.（4）What does the underlined word declined mean in the last paragraph? A . Expected.B . Decided.C . Refused.D . Forgot.13. （8分）The teacher stood before his class of 30 students and was going to hand out the final exam papers“I know how hard you have all worked to get ready for this test” he said“And because I know you are all able to understand these questionsI am ready to offer a B to anyone who would prefer not to take the testA number of students jumped up to thank the teacher and left the classroomThe teacher looked at the rest students and said“Does anyone else want to get a B?
