问题     It’s lunch time at a popular restaurant in Hong Kong and the place is quite buzzing. The【C1】______from the 50 or more diners makes【C2】______hard to have a conversation. When customers are asked if they find it noisy, the most【C3】______response is" Sorry, what did you say?
    And it’s【C4】______wonder. Five minutes inside the restaurant is【C5】______eating in a factory and【C6】______dining at a live rock concert—a noise level that can cause permanent harm【C7】______less than ten minutes.
    " OK, yes, it’s noisy," says a waitress, who has to lean in close to hear us ask【C8】______she can work in this noisy place eight hours each day," but I’m so【C9】______to it I don’t even notice it any more. "
    From restaurants to public transport, shopping malls to schoolyards, we all live, work and play【C10】______by noise loud enough to cause hearing loss.【C11】______like the restaurant waitress, most of us are not【C12】______about the harm noise pollution is doing to us【C13】______
    So to raise the【C14】______about just how loud it is out there, we【C15】______the noise level with a certified sound level meter in various public spaces.【C16】______we found was deafening. Everywhere the noise was well above what the World Health Organization considers the【C17】______limit of 70 decibels—and some places were loud enough to cause severe hearing and【C18】______health problems after just a few minutes.
    【C19】______the noise around you seems less bothersome, it’s【C20】______because you are slowly losing your hearing.
【C13】

选项 A、all
B、altogether
C、at least
D、as well

答案B

解析 固定搭配题。本句是否定句,因此此处要选一个与之搭配的表达方式。“not…altogether”意为“不是太…;不是十分…”,符合题意。“But like the restaurant waitress,most ofus are not concerned about the harm noise pollution is doing to us altogether.”意思是“但就像这位餐馆的服务员一样,我们中的大多数人并不是太在意噪音污染给我们带来的危害。”需要注意的是,“not all”意为“不是所有”,显然与前面的主语“most of us(我们中的大多数)”题意不符。如果有“at all”这个选项,倒是可以和前面的否定词“not”连用,意为“根本不”,还算符合题意,可是没有这样的选项。还有一种误解,以为这里要选“all”一词修饰前面的“us”,构成一个强调成分“我们所有人”。可联系上文,我们知道,这两句的强调点根本不在这个局部,而应该是前后语义上的转折,只有选“altogether”一词与前面的“not”一词连用,才可以更好地体现整体的逻辑性。一定要记住:小细节要服从篇章整体大局。仅仅看似符合某个单句的选项在全文整体层面上看就不一定妥当了。
