问题     The sense of sound is one of our most important means of knowing what is going on around us. Sound has a waste product, too, in the form of noise. Noise has been called unwanted sound. Noise is growing and it may get much worse before it gets any better.
    Scientists, for several years, have been studying how noise affects people and animals. They are surprised by what they have learned. Peace and quiet are becoming harder to find.
    Noise pollution is a threat that should be looked at carefully.
    There is a saying that it is so noisy that you can’t hear yourself think . Doctors who study noise believe that we must sometimes hear ourselves think. If we don’t, we may have headaches, other aches and pains, or even worse mental problems.
    Noise adds more tension(紧张)to a society that already faces enough stress.
    But noise is not a new problem, In ancient Rome, people complained so much about noise that government stopped chariots(四轮马车) from moving through the streets at night!
    Ways of making less noise are now being tested. There are even laws controlling noise. We cannot return to the "good old days" of peace and quiet. But we can reduce noise- if we shout loudly enough about it.  
Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? ______
选项 A、People are now trying to find ways to make noise as low as possible.
B、Only recently did people realize the harmful effect of noise.
C、Noise pollution is the worst kind of pollution we suffer from.
D、The writer thinks that it is almost impossible for people to avoid noise.

解析 综合判断题。选项【A】“人们正在寻找尽可能降低噪音的方法”正确。选项【B】“只有最近大家才认识到噪音的危害”错误，文章倒数第二段有陈述______ “In Ancient Rome, ……”。
