问题     Complete silence is found only in laboratories called anechoic rooms. The walls and ceilings, made of blocks of special sound-sucking materials, are more than three feet thick, while floor coverings are six-foot layers of feathers or cotton wool. Silence here can be as painful to the ears as the din (continuous loud noise) of a steelworks or a rocket blast-off, yet scientists get used to this and stay in these silent rooms for hours at a time, using microphones and electronic equipment to test the various materials being developed to make the world a less noisy place.
    Architects have used scientific discoveries to solve noise problems in a number of ways. Walls are hollowed (having empty space inside) and then filled with sound-sucking materials similar to cotton wool. Extra-thick carpets cover the floors, and thick woolen curtains cover the windows. Air conditioning and heating channels are made less noisy by sound-sucking materials.
    Unfortunately, these techniques and others often work too well in some buildings. Noise-proof rooms become almost anechoic and people living in them are disturbed by the lack of sound. One way of handling this problem is to use what they call " sound perfume" — artificial ( similarly produced, made by man) noise is piped to rooms through small loudspeakers.
The writer implies that______.
选项 A、untrained people can not stay long in anechoic rooms
B、performing experiments in anechoic rooms can be a frightening experience
C、architects make practical use of the information gathered by scientists
D、scientists do not care for noise problem
答案B
解析 作者暗示______。推理题。原文第一段中说“这种安静对于耳朵来说不亚于钢厂里或火箭发射时发出的巨大噪音”，可以想象在这样的环境里做实验是很恐怖的事情。故答案为B。
