Passage 1

The economic costs of noise to society are several．Airports are currently operating at less than capacity because of noise regulations which restrict their hours of operation．For instance，at Washington’s national airport no jet traffic is allowed from 11 pm to 7 am．Other airports restrict the use of certain runways．One estimate is that noise restrictions reduce possible airport use by 20 percent．The profitable cargo trade is especially affected by night restrictions．

In the case of airports，jet engines may be modified to reduce their noise level，or insulation（隔音）from air traffic noise may be provided by the purchase of land around airports or the insulation of buildings．One estimate is that ＄5.7 billion would be required to equip all existing jet engines with noise control devices．However，considering the current state of the art，even taking this step will not reduce noise levels at all points to acceptable values．Some combination of methods is probably necessary．

If all aircraft were made quieter by existing methods，there would be a number of economic benefits．An increase in airport capacity would occur．Property values near airports might rise．Transportation costs to and from airports could be reduced since the airports now could be located closer to population centers．

Much research still needs to be done on the economic aspects of noise reduction and noise effects．Although some of the effects of noise pollution are known，more must be discovered about its effects on health，productivity，property values and the quality of life．Furthermore，the cost of noise pollution to the economy as a whole needs to be investigated．

The public must be alerted to the dangers and economic costs of noise pollution so that people may make intelligent choices and exert appropriate pressures．

1．There is no jet traffic at washington’s national airport from 11 pm to 7 am because _____． A．it is extremely dangerous to fly in the dark

B．noise regulations restrict the hours of airport operation C．some of its runways are not in good condition D．cargo planes produce disturbing noises 2．“The current state of the art”（in para．2）means _____．

A．a developed sense of beauty B．the volumes of present-day traffic C．the most recently developed technology D．insulation of air traffic noise 3．Noise reduction could lead to _____． A．increased airport capacity B．lower property values

C．effective modification of existing jet engines D．more transportation costs to and from airports 4．What is not mentioned in the passage？_____

A．Psychological strain． B．Handling capacity of cargo． C．Measures for noise reduction． D．Public pressures． 5．The author of the passage is concerned primarily with _____． A．the effects of noise on the quality of life B．the role of air traffic restrictions C．the production of quieter engines

D．the economic aspects of noise reduction

Passage 2

Jungle country is not friendly to man，but it is possible to survive there．You must have the right equipment and you must know a few important things about woodcraft．

No one should go into the jungle without the right equipment．You need lightweight clothing，a good knife，and a compass．Fishhooks and a line，a rifle and ammunition（弹药），matches in a waterproof container are necessary，too．So is a mosquito net．

In the jungle you can get hopelessly lost within five minutes after leaving a known landmark．That is why you should always carry a compass．In open country，during the day，you can tell which way to go by studying the sun．At night the stars are sure guides to direction．But in most places the jungle rooftop is so thick that it is impossible to see the sun or the stars．

Keep alert．Watch the ground in front of you carefully．Stop and listen now and again．Avoid haste，and rest often．You will soon become exhausted if you set a fast pace in a hot and humid place．A steady and even pace is wisest in the long run．

Keep calm if you lose your way．Try to decide how long it has been since you were sure of your position．Cut marks on four sides of a tree，so that you will be able to see them from any direction．Except in an emergency，never try to travel through the jungle at night．

Whenever possible，it is wise to follow streams and rivers that run in your general direction．This may give you many extra miles of travel．But in the end it will save time and energy．Nothing is more exhausting than hacking a trail cross-country through unbroken jungle．Bamboo grows along the banks of many jungle streams．Since it is hollow and extremely strong，it makes a perfect raft．

Mosquitoes and some other insects will be with you all the time．The only defense against them is to wear the right kind of clothing．You should never wear shorts in the jungle．Your trousers must be lightweight and long．The cuffs（裤管口）should be tucked into your boot tops．

Finding water that is safe to drink can be a problem．Many clear and fresh-looking streams and rivers carry deadly germs．Such water must always be boiled before you drink it．Luckily，the jungle has many kinds of plants and vines that give water．Water from almost all plants is pure enough to drink．But stay away from vines that have bitter or milky sap（树液）．

Many jungle plants also provide food．Before you go into the jungle，learn to recognize the varieties of plants that can be eaten．If you haven’t had a chance to do this，watch what kinds of fruit and nut the birds and monkeys choose．Such food is almost always safe for man．When you see an animal in the jungle，you can be sure that the source of food is somewhere close by．That source may mean for you a difference between going to sleep well — fed or hungry．

Surviving in the jungle is a science．The jungle people have become perfect in this science，and you can too．Learn as much as you can about what to expect in the jungle．Make sure you have the right equipment．Then no part of the jungle will seem unfriendly or frightening．In fact，you will be able to“live off”it for a long time．

6．For checking your position in the jungle you should rely on _____． A．direction sense B．known landmarks C．the sun and stars D．a compass 7．In moving through the jungle you should _____． A．set a fairly rapid pace B．stop and rest often

C．retrace your steps from time to time
