Hearing
17、 losses in particular occupations such as shipbuilding and construction work are well known. In fact, however, we all find hearing more difficult as we age. Young ears can distinguish a wide range of sounds from low to very high frequencies, while older ears lose the ability to distinguish high-pitc
18、hed sounds. A comparison of people living in some industrialized and non-industrialized areas suggests that this hearing loss may not necessarily accompany old age.Furthermore, a closer inspection of other data reveals economic effects. For instance an increased turnover in property has been observe
19、d in noisy areas near airports. Job performance can be adversely affected by loud noise, especially if accuracy and mental effort are involved. The use of outdoor areas for conversation is not possible for an estimated 5 to 10 million people who live or work in urban areas. When interference with te
20、levision or speech or sleep is included, as many as 22 to 44 million people can be said to have lost part of the use of their homes and grounds because of noise.Thus noise pollution is a serious environmental concern. The indifferent attitude toward noise should be overcome; considerable efforts sho
21、uld be made to alert people to the grave effects that may stem from an excessively noisy environment.41 We can learn from this passage that_.（A）young people are sensitive to high-pitched sounds（B） young people distinguish low frequency noise better than old people（C） high frequency noise can cause h

It matters not what you inquire into, but when you once inquire into a th
27、ing, you must never give it up until you have thoroughly understood it.

In other words, the origin of language is a mystery. All we really know is that men, unlike animals, somehow invented certain sounds to express th
32、oughts and feelings, actions and things, so that they could communicate with each other; and that later they agree upon certain signs, called letters, which could be combined to represent those sounds, and which could be written down. Those sounds, whether spoken or written in letters, we call words
33、.The power of words, then lies in their associationsthe things they bring up before our minds. Words become filled with meaning for us by experience; and the longer we live, the more certain words recall to us the glad and sad events of our past; and the more we read and learn, the more the number o

The federal constitution set up the structures of the national government and lists its powers and activities. The constitution gives Congress the authority to make law
38、s which are necessary for the common defense and the good of the nation; It also gives the federal government the power to deal with national and international problems that involve more than one state. All the powers that are not given to the federal government by the constitution are the responsib
39、ility of the individual states.The federal government has three branchesthe executive, the legislative, and the judicial.

The constitution limits the powers of each branch and prevents one branch from gaining too much power. For example, Congress can pass a law; the President may si
