17、and bought some meat. The shopkeeper wrapped the meat in a piece of paper and the man took it home. When he unwrapped the meat, he was surprised to see some old writing on the paper.This man was in charge of the public library, so he knew a lot about old books and old writing. He realized that the p

18、aper was a page of scientific notes.Only one man wrote like that, the librarian said to himself. It was Galileo who wrote these notes!Who was Galileo? Galileo was a famous Italian scientist. He was a man of ideas, but he was also a man of action. He made many experiments in order to find out more ab

19、out the earth and the universe. Galileo believed that scientists should not only sit in universities and talk about theory; they should also make practical experiments and learn from the results.Galileo wrote down notes of all the experiments he made. After Galileos death in 1642, Viviani, one of hi

20、s students, collected the notes together and put them into his own library. However, when Viviani died, nobody looked at Galileos notes any longer. For many years, people forgot about them.The librarian hurried back to the market and asked the shopkeeper where he had got the paper from. The shopkeep

21、er led him to the house where he bought the paper from. In the house, the librarian found many more of Galileos notes.

25、 freeway, jet planes roared overhead, and a pumping station maintained a low, continuous thumping. One night all mechanical sounds stopped briefly; immediately half the people in the neighborhood awoke, sat upright, and exclaimed: What was that?Americans are drowned in noise, one of the unwanted and

26、 unnecessary waste products of the twentieth century. Scientists speak of noise in decibels - units by which they measure the intensity levels of the sound waves that beat against our eardrums. The shuffling of paper in silent surroundings represents about 15 decibels; a low conversation, 40 decibel

27、s; and the sound of an automobile horn, 90 decibels. In general, sounds above 80 decibels begin to irritate the human ear. Noise also causes increased muscular tension, which at night may deprive the body of rest.Experiments have shown that 160 decibels of noise are fatal for small fur-bearing anima

28、ls. Although equal exposure is not fatal to man, it may destroy hearing. Over the past thirty years the loudest sounds to which man has been exposed have increased from 120 decibels, the equivalent of the roar of a two-engine propeller plane, to 150 decibels, the blast of a four-engine jet. This is

29、an average increase in volume of one decibel a year, and constitutes a potentially dangerous source of physical damage. 36.The story about a Long Island suburb is retold in order to show that _.

A be the loudest man can image B do physical damage to manC cause certain small animals to die D B

32、oth B and C. 40.The authors purpose in writing this passage is to _. A draw our attention to the importance of controlling noise B show that man has more tolerance than animals when exposed to noise C give a brief introduction to sound measurement D illustrate that noise is a by-product of moderniza

44、ugh the center.Little children have somehow got the impression that the definition of song is “what you hear 46 singing on the radio”.
