阅读理解短文
For some it is the sound of a bouncing basketball.For others the clearing of a throat.For Dr.
Jane Gregory the list includes pigeons,ticking clocks and the sound of popcorn being eaten."I
cried on the plane the other day because I couldn't figure out the volume on my new headphones
and so I couldn't block out the sound of a guy sniffing,"she says.Gregory is among those who
experience misophonia,a phenomenon in which particular sounds can prove unbearable,triggering
emotions from anxiety and panic to shame and anger.Now in her book,Sounds Like Misophonia,
the academic is on a mission to explore what's behind it,and to help those affected cope.
Gregory,a clinical psychologist at the University of Oxford,suggests misophonia is far from
being a simple sensitivity to sound.It can be fed by a complex interplay of factors,including a lower
ability to filter out certain noises,the association of negative meanings with particular sounds,and
the burden of feelings associated with an emotional response to them.Yet,the phenomenon was
largely unknown until the 2010s.
In one study,researchers asked people with high and low traits of misophonia to listen out
for a "trigger"sound in the presence of a masking sound.Both groups detected the trigger just
as easily."The person with misophonia had a more intense reaction,but only after they identified
what the sound was,"adds Gregory.Those results,she says,suggest that people with misophonia
are not inherently better at detecting particular sounds,such as a sniff or a rustle-rather they
might be listening out for them more,or not be as good as others at tuning them out.This is a
2
trait,Gregory speculates,that might have offered our ancestors an evolutionary advantage,such
as helping them to detect hiding predators.
Another implication of the research,Gregory says,is that it is not just the auditory features
of the sounds that cause negative reactions but the meaning attached to them.An example would
be a reaction to the jingling of a dog's collar after being frightened by an aggressive dog.
Gregory hopes her book will support those too often told to ignore sounds.She says:"The
emotional reaction is much more complex than just being annoyed...They feel trapped and helpless
when they encounter these sounds.If you think it's nothing,then you're not experiencing what
this person is experiencing."

答案与逐题解析
正确答案:28-30BBC
28.B (specific sounds cause negative emotions)
考点:细节理解题
语境:文中明确提到"misophonia,a phenomenon in which particular sounds can prove unbear-
able,triggering emotions from anxiety and panic to shame and anger”,即特定声音引发负面情
绪。
辨析:A项”无法识别特定声音”与原文"detected the trigger just as easily'”矛盾;C项”不同
情绪混合”未提及;D项”失去情绪控制”扩大范围,原文强调”特定声音触发”。只有B符合
定义。
29.B (Disability to ignore certain sounds)
考点:细节理解题
语境:文中指出”a lower ability to filter out certain noises”,即过滤特定噪音的能力较低,与”
无法忽略某些声音”同义。
辨析:A项”相似来源的触发音”未提及;C项”对特定声音的理解”是反应的条件而非原因;
D项”天生辨别特定声音的能力”与”not inherently better at detecting”矛盾。B项”disability
to ignore”对应”lower ability to filter out'”。
30.C (People can benefit from misophonia in some situations)
考点:推理判断题
语境:文中提到"this is a trait..might have offered our ancestors an evolutionary advantage,
such as helping them to detect hiding predators'”,说明这种特质在进化中曾有优势,即某些情
况下有益。
辨析:A项”检测特定声音是解决方案”与文意相反;B项”被他人充分理解”与”too often told
to ignore'”矛盾;D项”与声音相关的物体”文中仅举例狗项圈,未普遍说明。C项”某些情况
下受益”符合”进化优势”的推理。
