Noise is unwanted sound and is among the most pervasive pollutants today. Noise from road traffic, jet planes, jet skis, garbage trucks, construction equipment, manufacturing processes, lawn mowers, leaf blowers, and boom boxes, to name a few, are among the unwanted sounds that are routinely broadcast into the air. The problem with noise is not only that it is unwanted, but also that it negatively affects human health and well-being. Problems related to noise include hearing loss, stress, high blood pressure, sleep loss, distraction and lost productivity, and a general reduction in the quality of life and opportunities for tranquility. We experience noise in a number of ways. On some occasions, we can be both the cause and the victim of noise, such as when we are operating noisy appliances or equipment. There are also instances when we experience noise generated by others just as people experience second-hand smoke. While in 3
4. both instances, noises are equally damaging, second-hand noise is more troubling because it has negative impacts on us but is put into the environment by others, without our consent. The air into which second-hand noise is emitted and on which it travels is a “commons”, a public good. It belongs to no one person or group, but to everyone. People, businesses, and organizations, therefore, do not have unlimited rights to broadcast noise as they please, as if the effects of noise were limited only to their private property. On the contrary, they have an obligation to use the commons in ways that are compatible with or do not detract from other uses. People, businesses, and organizations that disregard the obligation to not interfere with others' use and enjoyment of the commons by producing noise pollution are, in many ways, acting like a bully in a school yard. Although perhaps unknowingly, they nevertheless disregard the rights of others and claim for themselves rights that are not theirs. We have organized to raise awareness of noise pollution and help communities take back the commons from those acting like bullies. Our efforts include building a library of resources and tools concerning noise pollution, establishing links to other groups that have similar collections, establishing networks among local noise activists, assisting communities and activists who are working to reduce noise pollution, and monitoring and advocating for stronger noise controls. Question 36: It is stated in the passage that all of the following are things the noise comes from EXCEPT_________. A. Television, radio B. Lawn mower, leaf blowers C. Road traffic, garbage trucks D. Jet planes, watercraft Question 37: It can be inferred from the passage that the effects of noise pollution on the human body are that__________. A. people focus mainly on hearing B. people get accustomed to ear and heart diseases C. people have difficulty falling asleep D. people are sensitive about everything around them Question 38: The word “negative” in paragraph 3 is opposite in meaning to__________. A. assertive B. penetrative C. relative D. positive Question 39: Which of the following is supposed to be way to reduce noise pollution? A. cooperation with other noise activists B. fining people who break laws in noise regulation C. construction of large projects along roads D. prohibiting public transport during peak hours Question 40: It is mentioned in the passage that when we are operating noisy appliances or we experience noise generated by others__________. A. The noise is so troublesome if we make it or not. B. We feel more comfortable if we don’t experience second-hand noise. C. The noise have a strong influence on us, but not on others. D. We just ignore the serious detriment if the noise is put into the environment by others. Question 41: In writer’s opinion, who are not only responsible for making noise but also under noise pressure?

5. Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 44 to 50. Scientists do not yet thoroughly understand just how the body of an individual becomes sensitive to a substance that is harmless or even wholesome for the average person. Milk, wheat, and egg, for example, rank among the most healthful and widely used foods. Yet these foods can cause persons sensitive to them to suffer greatly. At first, the body of the individual is not harmed by coming into contact with the substance. After a varying interval of time, usually longer than a few weeks, the body becomes sensitive to it, and an allergy has begun to develop. Sometimes it's hard to figure out if you have a food allergy, since it can show up so many different ways. Your symptoms could be caused by many other problems. You may have rashes, hives, joint pains mimicking arthritis, headaches, irritability, or depression. The most common food allergies are to milk, eggs, seafood, wheat, nuts, seeds, chocolate, oranges, and tomatoes. Many of these allergies will not develop if these foods are not fed to an infant until her or his intestines mature at around seven months. Breast milk also tends to be protective. Migraines can be set off by foods containing tyramine, phenathylamine, monosodium glutamate, or sodium nitrate. Common foods which contain these are chocolate, aged cheeses, sour cream, red wine, pickled herring, chicken livers, avocados, ripe bananas, cured meats, many Oriental and prepared foods (read the labels!). Some people have been successful in treating their migraines with supplements of B-vitamins, particularly B6 and niacin. Children who are hyperactive may benefit from eliminating food additives, especially colorings, and foods high in salicylates from their diets. A few of these are almonds, green peppers, peaches, tea, grapes. This is the diet made popular by Benjamin Feingold, who has written the book “Why your Child is Hyperactive”. Other researchers have had mixed results when testing whether the diet is effective. Question 44: The topic of this passage is _______________. A. infants and allergies B. food and nutrition C. reactions to foods D. a good diet Question 45: According to the passage, the difficulty in diagnosing allergies to foods is due to ___________. A. the vast number of different foods we eat B. lack of a proper treatment plan C. the similarity of symptoms of the allergy to other problems D. the use of prepared formula to feed babies Question 46: The word "symptoms" is closest in meaning to ___________. A. prescriptions B. diet C. diagnosis D. indications Question 47: What can be inferred about babies from this passage? A. They can eat almost anything. B. They should have a carefully restricted diet as infants. C. They gain little benefit from being breast fed. D. They may become hyperactive if fed solid food too early. Question 48: The author states that the reason that infants need to avoid certain foods related to allergies has to do with the infant's ___________. A. lack of teeth B. poor metabolism C. inability to swallow solid foods D. underdeveloped intestinal tract Question 49: The word "these" refers to ___________. A. food additives B. food colorings C. innutritious foods D. foods high in salicylates Question 50: Which of the following was a suggested treatment for migraines in the passage? A. Using Vitamin B in addition to a good diet B. Avoiding all Oriental foods C. Getting plenty of sodium nitrate D. Eating more ripe bananas ________THE END_________ 5
