Noise Alert!
主题:人与自我(科学与技术)
Crying babies.Buzzing mosquitoes.Ringing car alarms.They're all annoying noises.But what's the worst?A recent survey
lists the things we hate to hear.The list of horrible noises has over 100 items.Several mobile phone ringtones appear near the
top.Other noises include barking dogs,pneumctic()drills,loud snoring and banging noises early on a Sunday morning.
However,number-one on the list was the sound of a dentist's drill."That just sends shivers down my spine(),""said one
person."After a visit to the dentist,I sometimes wake up at night with that sound in my head.It's horrible,"said another."I've seen
patients shaking with fear when I bring out the drill,"explained a dentist.Of course,anyone who's actually been to the dentist and
heard the sound will probably agree with that.
But there's some good news.A new device developed by experts at universities can cancel out the sound of the drill.The tiny
device allows patients to listen to music on an MP3 player while the sound of the drill is eliminated However,patients are still
able to hear the dentist's voice because not all sounds are removed.
The theory behind it is very simple.Microphones are placed close to the dental drill.These pick up any sounds and transform
them into digital signals.Then,electronic filters cancel out any unwanted sound waves.However,the great thing is that this
technology also allows other noises(such as the dentist's voice)to come through.
It's easy to use,too.Patients simply plug the device into their MP3 players.Then,via headphones,they can listen to music and
hear the dentist's voice without being disturbed by the noise of the drill.Fantastic!
So,next time you go to the dentist,remember to bring your MP3 player.

一、阅读练习
语篇导读:这篇文章采用了典型的“问题解决”结构,语言生动且逻辑清晰。作者首先通过列举生活中的噪音引入话题,
聚焦于最令人恐惧的“牙钻声”,然后笔锋一转,介绍了一项新科技如何巧妙地解决了这个问题。
1.c
解析:文章第一段通过引用几位受访者的话来解释为什么牙钻的声音最让人讨厌。例如,That just sends shivers down my
spine''(这让我脊背发凉)和“After a visit to the dentist,.I sometimes wake up at night with that sound in my head'(看完牙医
后,我有时晚上会伴着那个声音惊醒),这些描述都与看牙医时的痛苦和不适记忆有关。虽然A(太大声)和D(尖锐)
可能是牙钻声音的物理特性,但文章强调的是它引起的心理恐惧和痛苦联想。B(在日常生活中经常听到)与文章内容
不符,人们通常不会在日常生活中频繁听到牙钻声。
2.A
解析:根据上下文,第三段提到一个新设备可以“cancel out the sound of the drill'(消除牙钻的声音),并且让患者听不到
牙钻声,但能听到医生的声音。因此,“eliminated'的意思应该是“移除”或“消除”。B(重复)、C(替换)和D(增加)
都不符合文意。
3.c
解析:文章主要介绍了一种新设备,它能让患者在听音乐的同时消除牙钻的噪音,从而减轻看牙时的焦虑和不适感。这
表明该设备的目的是让患者的牙科就诊体验更舒适。A(帮助患者避免牙科诊所的所有噪音)是错误的,因为设备允许
牙医的声音通过。B(仍处于早期开发阶段,尚未广泛应用)在文中没有提及。D(需要专业安装的复杂设备)也是错误
的,因为文中提到它“easy to use'”(易于使用),患者只需将其插入MP3播放器即可。
4.D
解析:整篇文章的结构是:先引出牙钻声是最讨厌的声音,然后介绍一种能消除该声音的新设备及其工作原理和使用方
法。因此,文章的主要目的是介绍这个能帮助减轻牙科焦虑的新设备。A(讨论避免不愉快噪音的不同方法)范围太广。
B(解释为什么人们害怕牙钻声)只是文章开头的引子。C(介绍关于最讨厌噪音的调查)也只是文章开头的背景信息。
二、词汇练习答案解析
I.Complete each sentence with the proper form of a given word.
1.include
解析:句意为“这个价格包含税吗?”。根据给定词汇,include意为“包括,包含”,符合句意。句子为一般现在时,主语
是the price,因此动词用原形include。.
2.annoying
解析:句意为闹钟的声音相当烦人。”。根据给定词汇,annoying意为烦人的,讨厌的”,是形容词,用来描述闹钟声
音的性质,符合句意。
3.wave
解析:句意为“她向街对面的朋友挥手。”。根据给定词汇,wave作动词时有挥手,招手的意思,gave a wave是固定搭
配,意为挥了挥手”。
4.dentist
解析:句意为“牙医建议我每天刷牙。”。根据给定词汇,dentist意为牙科医生”,是名词,符合句意。
5.tiny
解析:句意为这只小鸟在树枝上停留了片刻。”。根据给定词汇,tiy意为极小的,微小的”,是形容词,用来修饰名词
bird,符合句意。
6.develop
解析:句意为“科学家们正在开发新技术来帮助控制气候变化。”根据给定词汇,develop意为“开发,研制',是动词。句
子描述的是当前正在进行的动作,因此用现在进行时are developing。
II.Complete the following passage by using the words in the box.
1.H
解析:句意为“在当今世界,技术是日常生活的重要组成部分。人们使用的最常见的设备之一是手机。”。根据词汇表,
mobile phone是固定搭配,意为“手机”。
2.J(ring)
解析:句意为“不幸的是,闹钟的响声可能相当吵闹..”。根据词汇表,rig作名词时有“(铃声等)响的意思,the ring
of an alarm意为“闹钟的响声”。
3.E
解析:句意为“许多人讨厌闹钟的声音,因为它预示着睡眠的结束。”。根据词汇表,hate意为“讨厌,憎恶”,是动词,
符合句意。
4.A
解析:句意为有些人实际上感到压力很大,当他们听到闹钟响时.”。根据词汇表,actually意为事实上,实际上”,
是副词,用来修饰整个句子,表示强调。
5.I
解析:句意为“医院或医生办公室的许多病人也可能在听到周围嘈杂的声音时体验到这种感觉。”。根据词汇表,patient
意为“病人”,是名词。根据句意,这里指代一类人,因此用复数形式patients。
6.D
解析:句意为“在某些情况下,技术己被用来消除噪音.”。根据词汇表,eliminate意为“消除,排除”,是动词。be used
to do sth.表示“被用来做某事”,因此用动词原形eliminate。
7.C
解析:句意为例如,某些电子设备可以用来掩盖像牙医钻头那样巨大的噪音。”。根据词汇表,electronic意为电子的',
是形容词,用来修饰名词devices。
8.B
解析:句意同上。根据词汇表,dill意为钻头”,是名词。这里指牙医使用的多个钻头,因此用复数形式dils。
9.G
解析:句意为“尽管这些设备中的一些发出了噪音,但技术进步实际上也展示了如何控制或减少噪音。”。根据词汇表,
innovation意为“创新',是名词。advancements和innovations是同义词复现,且根据句意,这里指多项创新,因此用复数
形式innovations。
10.F
解析:句意为“这些创新的目标是提高整体生活质量,为人们提供更和平的环境。”。根据词汇表,orrible意为“可怕的,
恐怖的”,是形容词。这里用来修饰名词environment,但结合上下文,这里可能意在表达“消除可怕的/糟糕的环境',或
者原文可能存在排版意图是修饰前文的噪音。但根据所给词汇和空格位置,horrible是唯一未被使用的形容词,且可以用
来形容环境的糟糕,因此填入horrible.。(注:此处根据提供的词汇表和文章逻辑,horrible是唯一合适的选项,尽管语境
上略显突兀,但符合练习设计)。
