Question

17．Ever irritated（激怒．by someone shouting at their mobile phone in a public place？
We've all lost temper at least once at the sound of a person loudly communicating with someone on a mobile phone．
Recently，Dr．Adam Rutherford has been answering questions．"I have no interest in hearing about other people's private lives．""The conversation would have seemed to worry older generations．I think they would have considered it rude to talk loudly in public．"
Many people seem to do it without realizing why，but is there a scientific reason for their loudness？
The answer begins by looking at one of the telephone designs called"sidetone"-a feature whereby a caller could hear his own voice in the phone's speaker when talking．
This makes sure the user that they can be heard，leaving no reason to raise one's voice．But the problem with mobiles is that they are mobile，and a fixed volume of"sidetone"isn't always effective where background noise is very high．
Plus，this is our natural tendency（傾向）to raise our voice to match the noise levels around us．We tend to try and match the loudest sound we can hear．
It is worth pointing out，however，that this would not be the first time that our use of mobile phones has challenged the idea of good manners．When phones were firstly invented，they raised all kinds of questions．Should one have a phone conversation when undressed？Was it proper to stand up when speaking to a woman on the phone？
It seems mobile phones，then，are a technology that may always form new etiquette issues（禮儀問題）．

88．Does Dr．Adam Rutherford enjoy hearing about other people's private lives？No，he doesn't．．
89．When do we easily lose temper？When we hear a person loudly communicating/talking with someone on a mobile phone．．
90．How may old people feel when they hear somebody talking loudly on the phone？They may feel worried and rude．．
91．Where isn't the fixed volume of"sidetone"always effective？In noisy places．
92．What is the natural reason for loudness？We tend to try and match the loudest sound we can hear．．
93．What is your suggestion when answering the phone in public？Why？I suggest that we should speak softly because you may disturb others．．

Answer 1

分析 本文講述的是在公告場合大聲打電話的問題，當然有環(huán)境的因素，重要的這是不禮貌的行為．．

解答 88．No，he doesn't．細節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)Dr．Adam Rutherford has been answering questions．"I have no interest in hearing about other people's private lives．可知Dr．Adam Rutherford 對別人的私生活沒興趣，故填No，he doesn't．．
89．When we hear a person loudly communicating with someone on a mobile phone．細節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)We've all lost temper at least once at the sound of a person loudly communicating with someone on a mobile phone．可知我們聽到有人在大聲打電話是容易生氣，故填When we hear a person loudly communicating with someone on a mobile phone．
90．They may feel worried and rude．細節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)The conversation would have seemed to worry older generations．I think they would have considered it rude to talk loudly in public可知某些某些人在電話里大聲說話會讓老人感到擔心和不禮貌，故填They may feel worried and rude．
91．In noisy places．細節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)and a fixed volume of"sidetone"isn't always effective where background noise is very high可知在嘈雜的環(huán)境下，手機固定的音量是不行的，故填I(lǐng)n noisy places．
92．We tend to try and match the loudest sound we can hear．細節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)this is our natural tendency（傾向）to raise our voice to match the noise levels around us．We tend to try and match the loudest sound we can hear．可知大聲講電話的自然環(huán)境的原因是周圍的環(huán)境嘈雜，我們不得不大聲說話，故填We tend to try and match the loudest sound we can hear．
93．I suggest that we should speak softly because you may disturb others．推理判斷題．根據(jù)文章內(nèi)容可知本文講述的是在公告場合大聲打電話是不禮貌的，所以我們應(yīng)該建議不要在公告場合大聲打電話．故填I(lǐng) suggest that we should speak softly because you may disturb others．．

點評 做題時要在理解好文意的基礎(chǔ)上，與題目有機的結(jié)合，從文章中找到相關(guān)細節(jié)性的句子與選項細細比對，進行選擇或推理判斷，選出符合文章內(nèi)容的正確選項．做題注意靈活，有時可采用排除法或直選法確定出最終答案．
