However, not all the persons know that noise is also a kind of pollution, and that is harmful to human health, too.People who work and live under noisy conditions usually become deaf. Today, however, scientists believe that 10 percent of workers in Britain are being deafened by the noise where they work. Many of the workers who print newspapers and books, and who weave（织） cloth become deaf. Quite a few people living near airports also become deaf. Recently it was discovered that many teenagers in America could hear no better than 65-year-old persons, for these young people like to listen to pop music and most of pop music is a kind of noise. Besides, noise produced by jet planes or machines will make peoples life difficult and unpleasant, or even make people ill or even drive them mad.It is said that a continuous noise of over 85 decibels（分贝） can cause deafness. Now the governments in many countries have made laws to control noise and make it less than 85 decibels.In China, the government is trying to solve not only air and water pollution problems but also noise pollution problems.36. The passage is mainly about _ . A. air pollution B. water pollution C. noise pollution D. world pollution 37. According to the passage, a continuous noise of _decibels can make people deaf. A. less than 85 B. less than 65 C. about 65 D. more than 85 38. 10 percent of the workers in Britain are being deafened because _ . A. they are working in noisy places B. they often listen to pop music C. they live near airports D. they are too busy to listen to otherstalk39. The government of China is trying to reduce _. A. only the air pollution B. only the air and water pollution C. only the water pollution D. the air, water and noise pollutionB Cloning is suggested as a means of bringing back a relative, usually a child, killed tragically. Some parents can understand that wish, but it must first be recognized that the copy would be a new baby and not the lost child. Here lies the difficulty, for the sad parents are seeking not a new baby but a return of the dead one. Since the original would be fondly remembered as having particular talents and interests, would not the parents expect the copy to be the same? It is possible, however, that the copy would develop quite differently. Is it fair to the new child to be placed in a family with such unnatural expectations?Copying is also suggested as a means by which parents can have the child of their dreams. Couples might choose to have a copy of a film star, baseball player or scientist, depending on their interest. But because personality is only partly the result of genetic inheritance(遗传), conflicts would be sure to arise if the cloned child failed to develop the same interests as the original. What if the copy of Einstein shows no interest in science? Or the baseball player turns to acting? Success also depends upon fortune. What if the child does not live up to the hopes and dreams of the parents simply because of bad luck?Every child should be wanted for itself, as an individual. In making a copy of oneself or some famous person, a parent is deliberately（深思熟虑地） specifying(详细说明) the way he or she wishes that child to develop. In recent years, particularly in the U.S., much importance has been placed on the right of individuals to reproduce in ways that they wish. So I suggest there is a greater need to consider the interests of the child and to reject these proposed uses of cloning.40. What happens to parents in cloning a lost child? A. Parents expect too much from the copy. B. Parents may get a quite different copy. C. Parents are sure to have an identical copy. D. Parents lose the talents of the lost child.41. What, in the authors opinion, affects the success of parents dreams? A. The cloned childs interest in Einstein. B. The cloned childs natural talent. C. The cloned childs personality. D. The efforts of the parents.42. In the third paragraph, the author implies that _. A. the cloned child is viewed as independent B. the right of growing in his own way is taken away from the cloned child C. parents carefully protect the rights of the cloned child D. parents are eager to wish the cloned child to be somebody.43. In this passage, the author is mainly concerned about _. A. the future of a cloned child B. the possibility of cloning people C. the importance of cloning a lost child D. the problems of cloning lifeC Municipal(市政府) regulations normally ban anything from smoking in public places to parking in certain zones. But officials in the Brazilian town of Biritiba Mirim, 70km (45 miles) east of Sao Paulo, have gone far beyond that. They plan to prohibit residents from dying early because the local cemetery(墓地) has reached full capacity. Theres no more room to bury the dead, they cant be cremated(火化) and laws forbid a new cemetery. So the mayor has proposed a strange solution: outlaw death. Mayor Roberto Pereira says the bill is meant as a protest against federal regulations that prohibit new or expanded cemeteries in preservation areas. “They have not taken local demands into consideration”, he claims. A 2003 decree(法令) by Brazils National Environment Council forbids burial grounds in protected areas. Mr. Pereira wants to build a new cemetery, but the project has been stopped because 98% of Biritiba Mirim is considered a preservation area. Biritiba Mirim, a town of 28,000 inhabitants(居民), not only wants to prohibit residents from passing away. The bill also calls on people to take care of their health in order to avoid death. “I havent got a job, nor am I healthy. And now they say I cant die. Thats ridiculous,” Amarildo do Prado, an unemployed resident said. The city council is expected to vote on the regulation next week. “Of course the bill is laughable, illegal, and will never be approved,” said Gilson Soares de Campos, an assistant to the mayor. “But can you think of a better resolution to persuade the government to change the environmental decree that is prohibiting us from building a new cemetery?” The bill states that “offenders will be held responsible for their acts”. However, it does not say what the punishment will be.44. What is the bill to be proposed by the officials in Biritiba Mirim? A. Ban on smoking in public places. B. Ban on parking in certain zones. C. Prohibiting residents from dying early. D. Forbidding buried grounds in preservation.45. What can we infer from the phrase “have gone far beyond that”? A. Officials in Biritiba Mirim have nothing of these regulations. B. The bill to be proposed by officials in Biritiba Mirim is much too unexpected. C. Officials in Biritiba Mirim have been to many places around the world. D. The officials in Biritiba Mirim have built too many cemeteries in their town.46. Whats the attitude of the mayor of Biritiba Mirim towards the federal regulations? A. He objects to them. B. He gives strong backing to them. C. He asks the residents for advice on them. D. He remains silent about them.47. Which of the following is TRUE according to the article? A. The mayor of the town wants to build a new cemetery against federal regulation. B. The residents of the town sing the praises of the bill. C. The government is going to change the environmental decree. D. No better resolution of the problem has been thought out.D A San Francisco self-service laundry（自助洗衣店） may be one of the worlds most unusual places to surf the Internet but a fashionable club on Moscows Red Square is definitely the most fashionable, according to a Yahoo survey of the globes best cybercafs(网吧). The winners of the first Yahoo Mail Internet Caf Awards were published on Wednesday to mark the 10th anniversary(纪念日) of the worlds first cybercaf in Londons West End.
