A、Y

B、N

C、NG

标准答案：B

知识点解析：定位到文章首段第三句及第四句“美国现在拥有九千万台吹落叶机…

A、Y

4、AccordingtotheNationalInstitutesofHealth,therearemoreAmericansbecome

高度紧张，六十五分贝的噪音可导致压力），题干与原文内容不符。

6、Sportsstadiumsnowbecomesasourceofnoisepollutionbecauseof.

标准答案：carsplittingcommercials

知识点解析：定位到文章第五段末句“即使体育场，这个原本就很喧闹的地方，随

着刺耳的广告充斥着原本安静的中场休息，现在变地更喧闹了。”因此刺耳的广告

是原因。

7、Evenfarmersaresufferingfromsomehearinglosingjustbecauseof.

标准答案：noisyequipment

知识点解析：定位到文章第六段第四句后半句...mostlyasaresultofnoisy

equipment,其中asaresultof等同于题I-中的becauseof,那么asaresultof后面的

就是答案了。

8、AccordingtoBobBernhard,inordertoreduceroadnoise,peoplemustchange

标准答案：iheroadsurface

音的方法不是更换轮胎而是改变路面状况。

标准答案：theycanreflectorabsorbnoise

知识点解析：定位到文章第十段第二、三句；答案锁定在第三句“墙可以通过反射

或吸收声音从而降低噪音。”

I0^Ineliminatingalotofnoiseintheairport,pilotscanalsohelp,andtheycan.

标准答案：easedownatasmoothangle

知识点解析：定位到文章第十一段末句：可知飞行员可以通过选择合适的角度下降

来减少噪音。

标准答案：betestedthenoiseimpact

知识点解析：定位到第十三段末句“到2007年，这些地图可以用到计算机中，在新

楼或街道还没建设之前，用来检测它们的噪音影响。”所以答案是新楼在建设之

前，先被检测其噪音影响。

A、havedifferentattitudestowardslife

B、caneasilylearntouseahearingaid

C、havetotrytoadapttonewsituations

D^findahearingaidmoreannoying

标准答案：C

知识点解析：细节题。根据题干中关键词godeafinadultlife定位到原文首段第二

句Theyhavetolearndifferentwaysofbehavinganddifferentwaysofcommunicating

perhapsatatimewhenlearningisnotatallthateasy,可见，与先天耳聋的人相比,

后天耳聋者得极力适应新的情况。C中adapttonewsituations是对原文相关句的概

括。

49、Lip-readingisdifficultinthat.

A^itneedsspecialtrainingandalotofpractice

B、thelipreaderhastofocusontheotherpersonconstantly

C、thelipreaderhastogivetipnormallifestyles

D^lip-readingdisturbstheworkofaheatingaid

标准答案：B

知识点解析：细节题。艰据题干中的关键词lip-reading定位到原文第二段首句Lip-

readingisdifficult,demandsintenseconcentration,andanuninterrupteddirectviewof

thespeaker'sface,由此可判断，唇读时，需要你一直注意着对方。

50、Tocommunicatewiththedeaf,people.

A^havetomakespecialefforts

B、mustspeakinaforeignlanguage

C、shouldnotsmokeatall

D、usewritinginsteadofspeaking

标准答案：A

知识点解析：推断题。艰据题干中关键词tocommunicatewiththedeaf定位到原文

第三段，作者举例说明对待耳聋者的方法，如需像对待外国人那样对待他们。综合

归纳种种例证可推断，和耳聋者交流需要大量的努力。A项很好地概括了这个意

思。

51>Itcanbeinferredthatahearingaidcanfunctionwellat.

A、aquietplaceorcorner

B>aclassroomwithmanystudents

C、acinemawithcomfortableseats

D^acarpetedroomwhereapartyison

标准答案：A

知识点解析：推断题。艰据题干中关键词ahearingaidcanfunctionwell定位到原文

第四段首句aheatingaidmaybequiteefficientandusefulinaquietcarpetedroom.由

此可推断，在安静的房间或角落，助听器的效果要好些。A中的单词quiet与原文

相符，是解题的关键。

52、What'sthemainideaofthepassage?

A、Whichisbetter:hearingaidorlip-reading?

Howtoimprovethequalityofahearingaid.

C>Thedifficultiesthedeafmeetinlife.

D、Howtohelppeoplewholosehearing.

标准答案：D

知识点解析：主旨题。取据题目要求，需把握全文主要内容。作者指出助听器可帮

助耳聋的人，但助听器并不能解决一切。耳聋者还需要通过唇读与人交流。另外，

我们在对待耳聋者时应像对待外国人那样。还要注意不要把听觉差的人带到嘈杂的

公共环境中去。通过将_L述内容归纳可得出答案D“如何帮助那些失聪者”。
