【解析】【分析】文章大意：本文主要讲述了听大音量音乐的习惯对听力有害。世界卫生组

织称，超过10亿的年轻人在听力方面存在问题，因为他们长时间大声聆听。联合国有安全

聆听标准。听八十小时大于85分贝或15分钟大声100分钟的声音是不安全的。长时间聆听

大声的声音可能会使这些细胞工作太猛，并使其中一些细胞死亡。这就是人们听力损失的原

因。

(1)判断正误题。根据Itisnotsafetolistentosoundsthatarelouderthan85dB(分贝)for

eighthoursor100dBfor15minutes.可知挺高于85分贝八个小时或者100分贝15分钟是不

安全的。故答案为错误。

(2)判断正误题。根据However,listeningtoloudnoiseforalongtimecanmakethesecells

worktoohardandcausesomeofthemtodie.可知听大声的噪音很长时间能使这些耳毛细胞

工作太猛，造成一些耳毛细胞死亡，故答案为正确。

(3)判断正误题。根据ifyouareinanoisyplaceHkethesubway,youmightturnupyour

musictooloudwithoutrealizingit.可知如果你在像地铁这样吵闹的地方，你可能无意识的把

声音调到太大，可知第四段告诉我们人们不总是能意识到他们的音乐有多大声，故答案为正

确。

(4)判断正误题。根据Over—the—earheadphones(头戴式耳机)arebetterthanin—ear

ones.Theydoabetterjobofstoppingoutsidenoise,soyoucanlistenatalowervolume.可知头

戴式耳机比置入式耳机更好，故答案为错误。

(5)判断正误题。通读全文可知大意是：听大声的音乐对听力有害，不是讲耳朵是人体重

要的组成部分，故答案为错误。

【点评】考查阅读理解能力，首先通读全文，掌握大意，然后根据细节判断所给句子的正确，

注意要找到依据。

【答案】(1)C

(2)D

(3)B

(4)C

【解析】【分析】文章大意：文章通过爷爷的故事告诉我们为啥他的父母反对他从事音乐工

作，到后来真正的做了自己喜欢做的事。

(1)推理判断题MygrandfatherhadtaughtmusicfornearlyfortyyearsatSpringHillCollege

inMobile,andthoughhewasmuchlovedbyhisstudents,hedidn'tearn(挣钱)enoughto

provideforhislargefamily.可知，作者引用他爷爷的例子是来告诉我们从事音乐工作挣不到

钱，不能够养家，从而说明他的父母不同意他从事音乐事业。故答案是C。

(2)推理判断题，根据ThatwaswhyItookabusinessjob,whichIalwaysthinkofasthe

wastedyears.作者经商的目的是为了帮助家人，但是对于他而言，他认为是浪费时间，因此

可以推测他是痛苦的。故答案是D。

(3

)信息匹配题，根据Thefamilygotoutofthetrouble可知，他的家人已经走出了困境。一

开始我们就知道作者经商的目的是为了帮助家人，既然家人已经走出了困境，那么他的帮助

也不再必要了。故答案是B。

(4)推理判断题，根据IfeltlikeafreemanandsailedforEurope.Istayedforfouryears,

workedharderthanIhadeverdreamedofworkingandenjoyedeveryminuteofit.可知，作者

向往自由，而Iwalkedonair直译为在空中行走，没有牵挂，没有认可阻拦，因此这一句话

的目的是他已经感受到了自由，这样就可以做自己喜欢做的事。故答案是C。

【点评】考查阅读理解，本题主要涉及到了推理判断题，推理判断题相对来说是一种比较难

以掌握的题型，除了要充分理解，还必须要进行合理的推理论证在能够得到正确答案，而信

息匹配题则需要先理解选项的意思，然后根据空缺处前后句的逻辑关系去取舍，最终确定答

案。
