I Read the following passage, and then choose the best answer from A, B, C or D

Noise, commonly defined as unwanted sound, is another environmental pollutant Particularly in congested urban areas, the noise produced as a byproduct of our advancing technology causes physical and psychological harm, and detracts from the quality of life for those who are exposed to it

Unlike the eye, the ear has no lid; therefore noise penetrates without protection Loud noises instinctively signal danger to any organism with a hearing mechanism, including human beings In response, heartbeat and respiration accelerate In fact, there is a general increase in functioning brought about by the flow of adrenaline released in response to fear Because noise is unavoidable in a complex, industrial society, we are constantly responding in the same ways that we would respond to danger Recently, researchers have concluded that noise and our response may be much more than an annoyance It may be a serious threat to physical and psychological health and well-being, causing damage not only

to the ear and brain but also to the heart and stomach We have long known that hearing loss is America’s number one nonfatal health problem, but now we are learning that some of

us with heart disease and ulcers may be victims of noise as well

36 What is the author’s main point?

A Loud noises signal danger

B Noise may pose a serious threat to our physical and psychological health

C Hearing loss is America’s number one nonfatal health problem

D The ear is not like the eye

37 What is the author’s definition of noise?

A A byproduct of technology B Unwanted sound

C Physical and psychological harm D Congestion

38 According to the passage, people respond to loud noises in the same way that they

respond to

A annoyance B disease C damage D danger

39 It can be inferred from this passage that the eye

C enjoys greater protection than the ear D is damaged by noise

40 According to the author, which of the following is true?

A Noise is not a serious problem today

B Noise is an unavoidable problem in an industrial society

C Noise is America’s number-one problem

D Noise is a complex problem

II Fill in each numbered gap with one suitable word

Many species are now in (41) of being extinct Among the threats to endangered species are businesses that buy and (42) _ animals for their skin and other (43) Unfortunately, the people who run these businesses are not discouraged by fines, which they see as just another business expense A (44) _way to control the problem would be to force (45) is caught buying or selling products made from endangered (46) to do community service Their community service should require work that helps (47) the animals they are harming

Such a law should be quite effective If people trafficking in (48) _ animal products were forced to help endangered species, they might understand (49) destructive their business is Also, their community service tasks turn them into helpers rather (50) _ destroyers

VIII Read and choose the best answer:

Nowadays many products are nearly identical to one another in quality and price

If products are almost the same, what makes consumers buy one brand instead of another? Although we may not like to admit it, commercials on television and advertisements in newspapers and manaziges probably influence us much more than

we think they do

Advertising informs consumers about new products availalble on the market It gives us information about everything However; there is one problem with this The

"information" is actually very often misinformation It tells us the products benefits but hide their disadvantages Advertising not only leads us to buy things that we do not need or cannot afford but also confuses our sense of reality

Advertisers use many methods to get us to buy their products One of their most successful methods is to make us feel dissatisfied with ourselves and our

imperfect lives They get psychologists to study the way consumers think and their reasons for choosing one brand instead of another Psychologists have found that certain colors on the package of an attractive product will cause people to reach out and take that package instead of buying an identical product with different colors Also, certain words attract our attention For example, the words "new",

"improved", "natural", and "giant size" are very popular and seem to draw our eyes and hands toward the package

Many consumers believe that advertising does not affect them They feel that they have freedom of choice, and they like to think they make wise choices

Unfortunately, they probably do not realize the powerful effect of advertising Every year, advertisers spend billions of dollars inaggressive competition for consumers money and they are very successful

1 Advertising _

A always tells consumers about the truth of the products

B always tells consumers about the disadvantages of the products

C informs consumers about new products available on the market

D have no effect on consumers selection

2 Advertisers _

B are very honest to advertise their products

C always introduce good product

D spend a lot of money on advertisements

B the competition D all are correct

4 To many consumers, _

A they admit that advertising have affected them

B they believe that advertising does not affect them

C they spend billions of dollars for advertising

D they enjoy advertisements crazily

5 Advertisers have psychologists study _

A consumers' thoughts and their reasons for choosing one brand instead of another
