1 A “to be guilty of,’是固定搭配，表示“有……之過”的意思。

2 C 根據上下文，此處應選表示“引起”之意的詞語。

3 D 表示“長時間”應用“long period softime”。

4 A “只有高聲喊叫才能”之后顯然應選“被人聽到”。

5 C 句子要表達的意思是，如果只有高聲喊叫才能被人聽到，那么就有耳內機制受損的可能。

6 A 要表達“暴露于”或者是“接受了”的意思，應選“exposed to"。

7 B 要表達“聽力不如原來好”，此處應選能修飾動詞“hear"’而又表示“好”的副詞。

8 C 因為接下來講的是：這些毛病通常會消失，而你的聽力很快也會恢復正常，所以這是件幸運之事。

9 A “over and over”是固定搭配，表示“不斷”的意思。

10 C 根據上下文，此處應選表示“戴”之意的詞語。全句的意思是：建筑工人和在工廠里工作的人們必須戴護耳器，因為他們所使用的設備會產生巨大的噪音。

11 A 根據上下旬，此處應選表示“影響”之意的詞語。全句的意思是：然而，即使是一些割草和電動工具也會對人聽高音的能力產生永久性的影響，并且也有可能給他造成永久性的耳鳴。．

12 D 前一句講的是噪音對聽力的影響。句子所講的是反復收聽高音量的音樂會對聽力產生同樣的影響。

13 C 空格所填的詞連接著一個主句和一個從句，而從句表示的又是主句的原因，因此不難做出選擇。

14 A 文章最后一段是對前面所談到內容的總結。前面分別提到了器械與音樂所產生的噪音，而此旬已經提及器械，因此接下來要選的應是與音樂有關的，即音樂會。

15 B 文章最后一句的意思是：聽音樂時戴耳機是可以的，只是一定要確保音量不要太高，并且每過一段時間想著把耳機摘下來休息休息耳朵。“once in a while”是固定搭配，表示“偶爾，有時”的意思。
