问题     Researchers have shown that noise can adversely affect human in both physiological and psychological ways. Hearing losses in particular occupations such as ship - building and constructi - on work are well - known. In fact, however, we all find hearing more difficult as we age. Young ears can distinguish a wide range of sounds from low to very high frequencies, while older ears lose the ability to distinguish high - pitched sounds. A comparison of people living in some industrialized and non - industrialized areas suggests that this hearing loss may not necessarily accompany old age.
    Furthermore, a closer inspection of other data reveals economic effects. For instance, an increased turnover in property has been observed in noisy areas near airports. Job performance can be adversely affected by loud noise, especially if accuracy and mental effort are involved. The use of outdoor areas for conversation is not possible for an estimated 5 to 10 million people who live or work in urban areas. When interference with television or speech or sleep is included , as many as 22 to 24 million people can be said to have lost part of the use of their homes and grounds because of noise.
    Thus noise pollution is a serious environmental concern. The indifferent attitude toward noise should be overcome; considerable efforts should be made to alert people to the grave effects that may stem from an excessively noisy environment.
Which is NOT true according to the passage ?________

选项 A、Different occupations have different effects on people’s hearing ability.
B、People working in noisy environment are more likely to develop hearing problem.
C、Noise can affect people’s daily lives.
D、Urban people live in smaller homes because of noise.

答案C

解析 这是一道判断是非的题型。注意题干中的NOT。此种题目可采用排除法。通读四个选项,选项A,“不同的工作地点对人们的听力有不同程度的影响。”这个在文章第二段有提及到。选项B,“工作在噪音环境的人们更有可能去发现听力问题。”文章并没有直接给出,但可从全文里面推断出这个观点,因此不选。选项C,“噪音影响人们的日常生活”。这个全文并未提及到人们的日常生活。因此答案为C。
