The sense of sound is one of our most important means (方法,手段) of knowing what is going on around us. Sound has a wasted product, too, in the form of noise. Noise has been called unwanted sound. Noise is growing and it may get 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 about it being 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 the 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 can’t return to the "good old days" of peace and quiet. But we can reduce noise — if we shout loudly enough about it.
When the writer says we cannot return to the good old days, he means that
选项
A、our society is becoming much worse than before
B、in our modern society it is hard to lead a quiet life
C、the old days were much happier than the present time
D、it is impossible for us to deal with noise as we did before
答案
B
解析
本题考查对相关句子句意的理解及由此得出的合理推断。文中最后一段的倒数第二句活明确说明了所谓的“过去的好时光”是指平静安宁的时代。由此,我们可以推断本题答案为[B],意思是“在现代社会里很难过一种平静安宁的生活”。
