We interviewed a grup f musicians based in Beijing during the weekend.They all claimed that hurs f expsure t lud music can cause discmfrt.One added that band members prefer t play at maximum vlume⑥ and frget the harm that lud music can bring abut.The same thing nt nly ccurs t musicians.It’s als nt rare fr daily users since listening t lud music n lud sund equipment has becme a part f mdern lifestyle.Accrding t the WHO,the practice has put mre than a billin peple thrughut the wrld,aged 12-35,at risk f lsing their hearing.

Can I talk abut salary at wrk?In a wrd:yes.As HR cmpany Insperity put it in a recent blg pst:Can yur emplyees discuss their salaries r wages with their c-wrkers?Yes.Even if yu have a cmpany plicy against it?Yes.
The freedm t discuss yur salary at wrk is a prtected right under federal labr law.The Natinal Labr Relatins Act f 1935 prtects yur right t discuss the cnditins f yur emplyment,including issues related t safety and pay,even when yu’re nt prtected by a unin.
Talking abut salary with clleagues can be uncmfrtable,since there’s such a tab abut discussing mney matters,but it’s an imprtant step twards achieving equal pay fr equal wrk.One barrier,hwever,arises frm⑫ hw we think f ur wn financial wrth⑬.T many peple I talk t wrngly cnsider their salary as a reflectin f their wrthiness,a statement abut their skills,experience,r value.At the end f the day,if we can all separate ur self-wrth frm ur salaries a bit mre,it’ll becme easier t talk frankly with ur clleagues.
Asking abut mney utright can be tugh,s ne trick I’ve picked up alng the way is t ask fr yur clleagues t cnfirm r deny.Fr instance,yu might vlunteer yur salary first and ask “Des that sund abut right t yu?” by way f cmparisn⑭.Or,let’s say yu’re interviewing fr a prmtin t becme a manager.Yu might ask a fellw manager abut the kind f salary yu shuld expect by saying,“I’m seeing salaries fr this kind f psitin ranging frm $65,000 t $70,000—des that seem accurate t yu?” This way,even if yur clleague isn’t cmfrtable sharing their salary utright⑮,they can help yu identify if yur expectatins are n pint⑯ r way ff⑰.
13.What makes c-wrkers uncmfrtable t talk abut salaries?
A.The safety issue.
B.The federal labr law.
C.The wrng idea abut salaries.
D.The reflectin f their wrthiness.
14.What des “tab” underlined in Paragraph 3 refer t?
A.A prhibited practice.B.A religius belief.
C.A general agreement.D.A scial custm.
15.What is mainly talked abut in Paragraph 4?
A.One f my interview experiences.B.My way f asking abut salary.

答案与解析
阅读理解+七选五限时组合练6
Ⅰ.【语篇导读】本文是一篇应用文。文章介绍了四门针对成年人的课程,即计算机课程、木工手艺、网页设计和艺术。
1.D 细节理解题。根据“Cmputer Studies”部分中的“an understanding f cmputer fundamentals”可知,该课程提供计算机的基础内容;从“Wdwrk”部分中的“the basics f wdwrking”可知,该课程提供木工手艺的基础内容,由此可知答案为D项。
2.C 细节理解题。根据“Web Design”部分中的“Students cmpleting the curse will receive the diplma in Advanced Web Design.”可知,该课程会给完成课程的学生颁发结业证书,另外三门课程均未提及颁发证书,故答案为C项。
3.B 数字计算题。根据“Wdwrk”部分中的“Time:Mn.5 pm-7 pm”可知,该课程每周一开一次;根据该部分中的“Cst:$30 per lessn”可知,每次课程花费30美元;再根据该部分中的“Length:12 weeks”可知,该课程持续12周,即12次课程。由此可知,上完全部课程需要$30×12=$360,上一半的课程需要180美元。
【语篇导读】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者申请参加去北极的滑雪队,并成功成为其中一员的故事。
4.B 细节理解题。由第一段第一、二句“I decided t ski t the Nrth Ple.It was after I met with an advertisement in a newspaper lking fr peple t jin a team t ski 350 miles t the Nrth Ple.”可知,作者看到这个广告后就下定决心要滑雪去北极,故答案为B项。
5.C 推理判断题。由第三段最后一句“But tw thers helped me ver,and later I fund ut that the rganizers were nt lking fr amazing individuals,but great team players,and this mment had shwn them wh wuld take care f thers in the team.”可知,团队组织者挑选新队员时认为队员的合作精神最重要,故答案为C项。
6.A 词义猜测题。画线词所在句意为作者认为希望渺茫,即可能性减小,故应选A项。
7.A 推理判断题。根据第四段内容,尤其第二句“These persnalities f seeking fr help and shwing weakness are necessary fr wmen t master.”可推知,女性展示软弱是有用的,故答案为A项。
8.D 推理判断题。根据最后一段,尤其是“ culd inspire them t take a step int the new wrld and reveal mre f their abilities.”可知,作者写这篇文章的目的是鼓励人们去探索未知的世界,故答案为D项。
【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了听力受损的原因以及如何预防听力受损。
9.C 推理判断题。由第三段中“The same thing nt nly ccurs t risk f lsing their hearing.”这一信息可知,由于长期暴露于嘈杂的声音中而导致全球10亿多年龄在12至35岁的人有丧失听力的风险。由此推知,忽视噪声污染可能导致听力丧失,故选C项。
10.B 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Early preventin,early identificatin and early treatment.”这一信息可知,Yang Shiming建议人们通过提前预防来应对听力丧失,故选B项。
11.A 词义猜测题。根据画线词后一句“Once the hearing lss it was befre”可知,一旦听力受损,回到以前的状态已为时太晚,即听力丧失通常是不可挽回的,故画线词与A项意义相近。
12.D 主旨大意题。通读短文内容可知,文章围绕听力受损这一主题展开,分析了听力受损的原因,并给出了预防建议,以提高人们保护听力的意识。故D项是最佳标题。
【语篇导读】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要阐述这样一个问题:是否可以在工作中讨论薪水?答案是讨论薪水虽然让人不舒服,但是受到法律保护。同时作者也分享了一些问别人薪水的技巧。
13.C 推理判断题。由第三段中“Talking abut salary with clleagues can be uncmfrtable,since there’s such a tab abut discussing mney matters,”可知,和同事谈论薪水让人不舒服,因为忌讳谈论金钱问题。由此可推知:是错误的薪水观使得谈论薪水一事令人不舒服,故答案为C项。
14.A 词义猜测题。由画线词所在句的前一部分“Talking abut salary with clleagues can be uncmfrtable,”可知,和同事谈论薪水会让人不舒服,由此可知since从句应表示原因“人们普遍忌讳谈论金钱问题”,即tab表示“禁忌”之意,故答案为A项。
15.B 段落大意题。第四段主要讲述作者和同事谈论薪水问题的技巧,故答案为B项。
Ⅱ.【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。空腹喝水可以提高身体的新陈代谢,清理肠道,改善神经系统,也可以帮助消除偏头痛。
16.D 根据空前“Studies have shwn that drinking water n empty stmach can help increase metablic rate up by 30%.”可知:研究表明,空腹喝水,(人的)代谢率会上升30%。D项(这意味着卡路里燃烧率也上升了大约三分之一)正好与前一句衔接,故选D项。
17.A 根据空后“then yu will be able t digest fd faster and maintain a slim figure despite eating thse extra calries”可知,尽管摄入了额外的卡路里,你还是可以更快地消化食物,保持苗条的身材。而A项(如果你的代谢率更高)正好可以解释为什么摄入额外的卡路里还可以保持苗条的身材,故选A项。
18.E 根据空前“The cln,which is in part respnsible fr bwel mvements,requires water t functin prperly.”可知结肠在一定程度上负责肠道蠕动,它需要水才能正常工作。而E项(所以,喝一杯水,坐在马桶上清理结肠)符合语境,故选E项。
19.B 由前一句“ yu lve cffee,which makes central nervus system excited,yur nervus system will be affected frm the get-g.”可知,如果你爱喝咖啡,这会使中枢神经系统兴奋,你的神经系统会从一开始就受到影响。再由空后“It can prperly supply water t yur nervus system,which will help it functin prperly.”可知“这可以为你的神经系统提供适当的水,将有助于神经系统正常工作。”由此推知B项(就只喝一杯水来代替咖啡)与前后句呼应,故选B项。
20.F 由后一句“S just by increasing yur water intake,yu are basically preventing yur chances frm suffering anther headache attack.”可知只要增加水的摄入量,基本上可以预防你再次遭受头痛发作。而F项(你的医生一定告诉过你因为缺水才会头痛)与语境相符。
