16、Most have one thing in common: they can cause hearing loss. Studies have shown that sound levels from the machines can reach 115 decibels(分贝 ) or more roughly equivalent to standing 100 feet from a commercial jet at takeoff. At the level, permanent hearing damage can occur after just 15 minutes. And
17、 the earlier a child begins using a headset, the more damage can accumulate. Loud noise causes hearing loss by killing irreplaceable hair cells in the inner ear. Normally, the process occurs slowly as people age, but noise damage can accelerate it. Noise-induced hearing loss is insidious(不知不觉中发展的 );
18、 Damage may not be apparent until later in life. Since headsets are used privately, parents often dont realize how loud their childrens music is. As a rule, experts say headset sound loud enough to be heard by passers (approximately 100 decibels) can cause damage if used more than two hours a day. T
19、he allowable time is halved for every five decibels above that. For example, at 105 decibels, the maximum is one hour. Whatever your age, noise is dangerous if it hurts your ears, makes them ring or causes you to shout above it to be heard. 28 Headset stereos can _. （ A） cause hearing loss （ B） caus

43、alled it a ten-horsepower engine. 3 【正确答案】 steam engine 【试题解析】 该题测试听懂实义名词的能力。做题时，应该根据听到的读音和上下文的意思判断答案。由于该题盼空格不是常用词，不容易听出来。但空格中的词汇是全文的中心词，在下文中会重复出现。因此要注意从上下文中判断。听到读音后仍然辨别不了或听不清楚。可从下一 段的内容中找到该词组。 4 【正确答案】 at that time 【试题解析】 该题测试听懂时间状语的能力。这里需要填写表示过去时间的介词短语。从上下文中可以判断，这是表示过去时间的短语。因此通过听清发音就可以很容易判断出答案。 5
44、【正确答案】 one minute 【试题解析】 该题既测试听清词组读音的能力，也测试科学常识的掌握情况。本文所讲的是计量单位 “马力 ”的概念。计算 “马力 ”的公式是一匹马在一分钟里所做的功。因此，结合读音和常识就能够判断出正确答案。 6 【正确答案】 3300-pound 【试题解析】 该题既测试听清表示重量的词组的能力，也测试考生听清楚数字并迅速反应出来的能力。关键词是 weight一词。在 weight“重量 ”的前面常常可用数量修饰语。听写数字的方法是集中注意力。另外，单位词 pound“磅 ”也可根据后面的名词 weight“重量 ”进行判断。 7 【正确答案】 ten time

46、choices marked A , B, C, and D. 8 【正 确答案】 C 9 【正确答案】 D 【试题解析】 本题考查短语辨析。句意：母亲把那个漂亮的项链给了她，那是从她祖母那传下来的。 hand down表示 “传下来 ”； hand in意为 “上交 ”； hand over意为 “移交 ”； hand out 意为 “分发 ”。 10 【正确答案】 D 【试题解析】 有志者，事竟成。这是一句谚语，属于固定搭配。 11 【正确答案】 A 【试题解析】 那本是我的字典，它的封面是红色。本题考查关系代词的用法。本句定语从句中缺少定语， B which 和 C that都只能用作主
47、语或宾语，不能作定语， D what不能用来引导定语从句，故只能选 A。 12 【正确答案】 C 【试题解析】 句子意为：很多人都喜欢足球，但是并不是每个人都喜欢。 taste胃口，品位。 13 【正确答案】 C 【试题解析】 本题考查词的用法。根据句意应该是 “正在寻找一个能够组织销售部的有经验的秘书。 ”其中表示 “能够 ”的词有两个， able和 capable，但是 able一般构成 be able to do sth.， capable一般构成 be capable of。所以应选 C。 14 【正确答案】 B 【试题解析】 本题测试的是非限制性定语从句的用法。句中要填一个关系代词。
48、先行词指人，且关系代词在从句中作宾语，只能选 B。 15 【正确答案】 B 【试题解析】 这道题测试的是词语搭配。 participate in 翻译为 “参与 ”。正确答案应为 B。 16 【正确答案】 A 【试题解析】 seem to do something 表示 “似乎，好像做某事 ”。 17 【正确答案】 B 【试题解析】 本题考查主谓一致。当分词短语作状语时，其逻辑主语需和主句 中的主语保持一致。因为 riding my bicycle 动作的发出者肯定是 I。而 I是动作strike的承受者，故主语为 I时主句需用被动语态，故选项 B 为正确答案。 Section B Directions: There are 10 incomplete statements here. You should fill in each bland with the proper form of the word given in the brackets. 18 【正确答案】 doing 19 【正确答案】 exciting 【试题解析】 他为我们讲述了他激动人心的经历。本题要求现在分词作 experience的
