The Magic of Sound
Music is one of the most beautiful forms of artistic expressions ever invented. In movies and plays, music has an added function: it not only moves people but also can shock people. Is it true that an ordinary musical instrument can be so powerful?
Our eardrums can withstand sound within 20 to 80 decibels. Once sound exceeds this limit, even beautiful music will become ear-splitting noise and harm health. A strong blast of high sound can twist and break a solid iron sheet. 41
The noise from a plane’s engine is over 140 decibels. However, the sound of a flute is at most a few decibels. 42 It has been proven that people who have worked in an environment with a high sound intensity for a long time suffer varying degrees of heart disease or altered brain waves.
In movies, sometimes the hero can produce a sound that ordinary people can’t hear and only those who have the same ability can feel. In nature, there is actually sound that is beyond our hearing. In physics, the sound that exceeds 20, 000 Hz is called ultrasonic. 43 It does no harm to health.
Sound less than 20 Hz is called infrasonic waves. When we move, the air will vibrate. 44 As the frequency of infrasonic waves is close to that of people’s internal organs, infrasonic wave may cause resonance in human bodies. As a result, people’s vision may weaken and internal organs may rupture. However, whether an infrasonic wave can be used as a weapon depends on its intensity. If its intensity is very low, it won’t damage internal organs or a person’s health. 45 When wind blows at a force of 3 or 4 over the sea, it will produce infrasonic waves of several decibels. Only typhoons can produce infrasonic waves of over 100 decibels. At present, scientists can only produce infrasonic weapons in the lab with the help of advanced scientific tools and powerful electric power.
A. High sound of 150 decibels can kill a healthy rat.
B. The vibration of-air can produce infrasonic waves.
C. We cannot play high-pitched music with ordinary musical instruments.
D. If the intensity of infrasonic wave exceeds 160 decibels, it is extremely harmful.
E. Dolphins, whales and bats can make such high-frequency sound
F. Therefore, the sound of ordinary musical instruments cannot harm your health.
选项
答案
E
解析
“空43”前的句子说超过2万赫兹的声音称为超声波。“空43”后的句子说超声波对人体无害。位于这两个句子之间的“空43”的内容应该与超声波有关。选项E说海豚、鲸鱼和蝙蝠能发出这种高频率的声音。从内容上看,选项E与上下文意思连贯,因此是答案。
