An unidentified wit once said, " laugh, and the world laughs with you. Snore, and you sleep alone. " Yet snoring is far from a laughing matter, as those unfortunates with good hearing, who are rightly subjected to the sounds of the snoring disorder, will testify.
It has been estimated that one of eight Americans snores: this means that there are approximately 21 million people — women as well as men — who render an unpleasant sound when they are asleep. And assuming that each snorer disturbs the sleep of at least one other person, it necessarily follows that there are 21 million unhappy listeners. While a sleeping person breathes, either in or out, several structures in his nose and throat generate the snoring. The sounds, coming from the soft palate and other soft structures of the throat, are caused by vibratory responses to inflowing and outflowing air. When the soft tissues of the mouth and throat come close to the lining of the throat, the vibrations that occur are caused by the position of the tongue. In short, the noise made by snoring can be compared to the noise when breezes flutter a flag on a pole. The frequency of the vibrations depends on the size, density, and elasticity of the affected tissues and on the force of the air flow. Although it is usually the process of in haling or exhaling through the mouth that cause snoring, short snores come from the nose of an open-mouthed sleeper. In all fairness to snorers, however, it should be emphasized that snoring is an involuntary out which stops as the offender is awakened.
Which of the following statements is true?
选项
A、The snorers can have control over their act.
B、Both the listeners and the snorers wish to stop the offensive sound of snoring.
C、The frequency of the vibrations depends on the position of the tongue.
D、There are more men than women who snore.
答案
B
解析
细节判断题。原文尾段尾句提到snoring是involuntary的,排除A项;原文尾段第七句提到振动的频率由affected tissues的size,density,and elasticity决定,而不是position,排除C项;文章中并没有涉及男女打呼噜比例的问题,故D项也是错误的;原文尾段尾句提到,打呼噜的人以及那些听到呼噜声的人都想让这恼人的声音停止,与选项B对应。故答案为B。
