SECTION C – READING
I. Read the following passage, and then choose the best answer from A, B, C or D.
Noise, commonly defined as unwanted sound, is another environmental pollutant.
Particularly in congested urban areas, the noise produced as a byproduct of our advancing
technology causes physical and psychological harm, and detracts from the quality of life for those
who are exposed to it.
Unlike the eye, the ear has no lid; therefore noise penetrates without protection. Loud noises

instinctively signal danger to any organism with a hearing mechanism, including human beings. In
response, heartbeat and respiration accelerate. In fact, there is a general increase in functioning
brought about by the flow of adrenaline released in response to fear.
Because noise is unavoidable in a complex, industrial society, we are constantly responding
in the same ways that we would respond to danger. Recently, researchers have concluded that noise
and our response may be much more than an annoyance. It may be a serious threat to physical and
psychological health and well-being, causing damage not only to the ear and brain but also to the
heart and stomach. We have long known that hearing loss is America’s number one nonfatal health
problem, but now we are learning that some of us with heart disease and ulcers may be victims of
noise as well.
36. What is the author’s main point?
A. Loud noises signal danger.
B. Noise may pose a serious threat to our physical and psychological health.
C. Hearing loss is America’s number one nonfatal health problem.
D. The ear is not like the eye.
37. What is the author’s definition of noise?
A. A byproduct of technology. B. Unwanted sound.
C. Physical and psychological harm. D. Congestion.
38. According to the passage, people respond to loud noises in the same way that they respond to
K× thi chän HSG tØnh 2008-2009 – TiÕng Anh 12 THPT – B¶ng B (Page 2 of 4)

A. responds to fear. B. increases functions.
C. enjoys greater protection than the ear. D. is damaged by noise.

A. Noise is not a serious problem today.
