1 A “to be guilty of,’是固定搭配，表示“有……之過”的意思。

2 C 根據(jù)上下文，此處應(yīng)選表示“引起”之意的詞語。

3 D 表示“長時間”應(yīng)用“l(fā)ong period softime”。

4 A “只有高聲喊叫才能”之后顯然應(yīng)選“被人聽到”。

5 C 句子要表達的意思是，如果只有高聲喊叫才能被人聽到，那么就有耳內(nèi)機制受損的可能。

6 A 要表達“暴露于”或者是“接受了”的意思，應(yīng)選“exposed to"。

7 B 要表達“聽力不如原來好”，此處應(yīng)選能修飾動詞“hear"’而又表示“好”的副詞。

8 C 因為接下來講的是：這些毛病通常會消失，而你的聽力很快也會恢復(fù)正常，所以這是件幸運之事。

9 A “over and over”是固定搭配，表示“不斷”的意思。

10 C 根據(jù)上下文，此處應(yīng)選表示“戴”之意的詞語。全句的意思是：建筑工人和在工廠里工作的人們必須戴護耳器，因為他們所使用的設(shè)備會產(chǎn)生巨大的噪音。

11 A 根據(jù)上下旬，此處應(yīng)選表示“影響”之意的詞語。全句的意思是：然而，即使是一些割草和電動工具也會對人聽高音的能力產(chǎn)生永久性的影響，并且也有可能給他造成永久性的耳鳴。．

12 D 前一句講的是噪音對聽力的影響。句子所講的是反復(fù)收聽高音量的音樂會對聽力產(chǎn)生同樣的影響。

13 C 空格所填的詞連接著一個主句和一個從句，而從句表示的又是主句的原因，因此不難做出選擇。

14 A 文章最后一段是對前面所談到內(nèi)容的總結(jié)。前面分別提到了器械與音樂所產(chǎn)生的噪音，而此旬已經(jīng)提及器械，因此接下來要選的應(yīng)是與音樂有關(guān)的，即音樂會。

15 B 文章最后一句的意思是：聽音樂時戴耳機是可以的，只是一定要確保音量不要太高，并且每過一段時間想著把耳機摘下來休息休息耳朵?！皁nce in a while”是固定搭配，表示“偶爾，有時”的意思。
