Passage1
?Psychologists now believe that noise has a considerable effect on people’s attitudes and behavior. Experiments have proved that in noisy situations (even temporary ones), people behave more irritably and less cooperatively; in more permanent noisy situations, many people cannot work hard, and they suffer from severe anxiety as well as other psychological problems. However, psychologists distinguish between “sound” and “noise”. “Sound” is measured physically in decibels. “Noise” cannot be measured in the same way because it refers to the psychological effect of sound and its level of “intensity” depends on the situation. Thus, for passengers at an airport who expect to hear airplanes taking off and landing, there may be a lot of sound, but not much noise (that is, they are not bothered by the noise). By contrast, if you are at a concert and two people behind you are whispering, you feel they are talking noisily even if there is not much sound. You notice the noise because it affects you psychologically. Both sound and noise can have negative effects, but what is most important is if the person has control over the sound. People walking down the street with earphones, listening to music that they enjoy, are receiving a lot of decibels of sound, but they are probably happy hearing sounds which they control. On the other hand, people in the street without earphones must tolerate a lot of noise which they have no control over. It is noise pollution that we need to control in order to help people live more happily.
According to the passage, people _____. A. can not work better in a noisy situation B. will suffer from complete deafness because of noise pollution C. can be psychologically affected by working in very noise factories D. may cooperate well in a noisy surrounding
“Sound”, as defined by the psychologist _____. A. can be measured in the same way that “noise” is measured B. may be extremely harmful to health C. is not at all different from “noise” D. can be measured by machines
People waiting at an airport _____. A. enjoy hearing airplanes taking off and landing B. are usually not troubled by the noise C. can easily tell sound from noise D. are often physically affected by the noise
People enjoy listening to music, _____. A. though they are receiving a lot of decibels of sound in fact B. because it does not have any negative effect C. because they do not have to tolerate the noise around them D. even though it is sometimes unpleasant hearing strange sounds
We can conclude from the passage that we need to control noise pollution if _____. A. we want to stay both psychologically and physically healthy B. we don’t want to be physically deaf C. we want to cooperate well D. we don’t want to be anxious
Passage 2??
In science the meaning of the word “explain” suffers with civilization’s every step in search of reality. Science cannot really explain electricity, magnetism, and gravitation; their effects can be measured and predicted, but of their nature no more is known to the modern scientist than to Thales who first looked into the nature of the electrification of physicists reject the notion that man can ever discover what these mysterious forces “really” are. Electricity, Bertrand Russell says, is not a thing, like St. Paul’s Cathedral; it is a way in which things behave. When we have told how things behave when they are electrified, and under what circumstances they are electrified, we have told all there is to tell. Until recently scientists would have disapproved of such an idea. Aristotle, for example, whose natural science dominated Western thought for two thousand years, believed that man could arrive at an understanding of reality by reasoning from self-evident principle. He felt, for example, that it is a self-evident principle that everything in the universe has its proper place, hence one can deduce that objects fall to the ground because that’s where they belong, and smoke goes up because that’s where it belongs. The goal of Aristotelian science was to explain why things happen. Modern science was born when Galileo began trying to explain how things happen and thus originated the method of controlled experiment which now forms the basis of scientific investigation.
The aim of controlled scientific experiments is _____. A. to explain why things happen B. to explain how things happen C. to describe self-evident principles D. to support Aristotelian science
What principles most influenced scientific thought for two thousand years? A. The speculations of Thales. B. The forces of electricity, magnetism and gravity. C. Aristotle’s natural science. D. Galileo’s discoveries.
Bertrand Russell’s notion about electricity is _____. A. disapproved of by most modern scientists B. in agreement with Aristotle’s theory of self-evident principle C. in agreement with scientific investigation directed toward “how” things happen D. in agreement with scientific investigation directed toward “why” things happen
The passage says that until recently scientific _____. A. that there are mysterious forces in the universe B. that man cannot discover what forces “really” are C. that there are self-evident principle D. that we can discover why things behave as they do
Modern science came into being _____. A. when the method of controlled experiment was first introduced B. when Galileo succeeded in explaining how things happen C. when Aristotelian scientists tried to explain why things happen D. when scientists were able to acquire an understanding of reality by reasoning
