SECTION C – READING 

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. 

41. What is the author’s main point? 

 A. Loud noises signal danger.

 C. Physical and psychological harm. 

 D. Congestion. 

43. 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. 44. It can be inferred from this passage that the eye 

 A. responds to fear. 

 B. increases functions.

The two men walked on the moon for hours . They picked up rocks to bring back to us for study  . They dug up dirt to bring back . They set up machines to find out things people wanted to  know . Then they climbed back into their moon landing craft .  

Next day the landing craft roared as the two men took off from the moon . They joined  Micheal Collins in the spaceship that waited for them above the moon . Then they were off on  their long trip back to earth .  

Behind them they left the plains and tall mountains of the moon . They left the machines they  had set up . And they left footprints that may last forever .

It is a common saying that we do not fully value a thing until we lose it. We often value  the love and worth of a friend when he has been taken from us by death more than when he was  with us in the flesh; it is only when we have left school or college that we understand the  greatness of our opportunity of education, which has gone forever; it is the sick and the ailing  who realize the value of good health. When we are young and strong, we cannot imagine what it

is to be weak and ailing. We are so used to vigorous health that we take it for granted. The  organs of our body work so smoothly that we scarcely know we have lungs and liver, heart and  stomach. But when any of these gets upset and gives us pain and sickness, we learn by bitter  experience what an unspeakable blessing it is to be well.  

Loss of health makes us miserable and a burden to ourselves and our friends. It cripples  our efforts so that we cannot accomplish many of the good and great things we might have  done. It spoils our life. What must we do to keep our health?  

We must be moderate in eating and drinking and wise in the choice of plain, wholesome  simple food. Gluttony has killed thousands, and strong drink tens of thousands. We must, when  young, get plenty of sleep, which is “nature’s sweet restorer”, and not try to burn the candle at  both ends. We must live as much as possible in the open air and keep our rooms well ventilated.  We must get sufficient and regular physical exercise, and keep our body clean. And we must  avoid bad habits and secret sins as we avoid the devil, and keep our thought clean, our bodies  pure. Our ideal must be the sound mind in the sound body.  

66. According to the passage, we often appreciate our friends only when …..  A. they are with us B. they are good to us  

C. they passed away D. they live a long way from us  

67. We do not take care of our health because …..

A. useless and selfish B. unable to fulfill our expectations  C. a shame to our friends D. fail to become famous
