Doctors have known for a long time that extremely loud noises can cause hearing damage or loss. The noise can be the sound of a jet airplane or machines in factories or loud music or other common sounds found at home and at work.
A person only needs to hear the noise for little more than one second to be affected.
An American scientist had found that using aspirin can increase the temporary hearing loss or damage from loud noise. He did an experiment, using a number of male students at a university who all had normal hearing. He gave them different amounts of aspirin for different periods of time, then he tested their hearing ability. He found that students who were given four grams of aspirin a day for two days suffered much greater temporary hearing loss than those who did not use aspirin. The hearing loss was about twice as great.
The scicntist said millions of persons in the United States use much larger amounts of aspirin than were used in the study. He said these reasons face a serious danger of suffering hearing loss from loud noises. 45. This passage suggests that one‘s hearing _____.
A. will be damaged even if he has heard a loud noise for less than one second

It is clear that some chemicals can damage the health of animals and humans. However, this is not the only problem that can be caused by the careless use of chemicals. Chemicals can also dicturb the ecological balance of the environment. If the ecological balance is disturbed , the consequences can be extremely serious.
The history of DDT illustrates the problem. DDT, a chemical which kills insects, at first seemed to be a perfect answer to many problems. It would control insects that caused dangerous disease, as well as insects that caused billions of dollars of damage to crops every year. Governments permitted and even encouraged the use of DDT. Farmers in many countries began to spray it on their crops. The immediate, the chemical had effects which the scientists did not predict. First, it also killed insects which were the natural enemies of the harmful insects and which were there-fore beneficial to farmers. Second, and perhaps worse, DDT did not kill every harmful insect. A few insects had natural resistance to the chemical. They survived and multiplied. In a few years there were large numbers of insects which were not affected by DDT, and there were fewer insects which could act as natural controls on these new“super-insects”. Finally, it became clear that DDT was not solving the insect problem. In fact, it was making the problem worse. It then became necessary to find a second cure for the effects
of the first!
53. The purpose of the passage is ______.
A. to tell that DDT cannot solve the insect problem
B. to compare the effects of DDT with those of other curse
C. to argue that the ecological balance can be damaged by chemicals
D. to show that some chemicals can damage the health of humans and animals 54. Which of the following is not true?
A. Chemicals cause health problems for animals and people.
B. Chemicals can disturb the ecological balance of the environment. C. At first, the chemical DDT seemed only to have benefist. D. The long-term effects of DDT were expected by scientists.
55. According to the writer, one of the problems with DDT is that _____. A. it also killed insects that helped farmers B. it could not kill most of the harmful insects C. it caused a decrease in domestic animals D. it made some farmers suffer a disease
56. If a farmer used DDT today, in a few years _____. A. he would have no problems with harmful insects B. insects would be an even greater problem for him C. his situation would not be quite different D. he would be in a very dangerous situation

One possible version:
Mobile phones are more and more popular with people today, including students in high schools. They provide us with great convenience – with a mobile phone, we can keep in touch with our friends and family wherever we are. However, there are some problems with using mobile phones. Many students are addicted to them. They waste much time chatting and sending message which should be spent on their studies. What‘s worse, some students use them in class and the ring disturbs both teachers and other students. Besides, they have to spend much money on mobile phones. So I suggest we teenagers shouldn‘t spend too much time and money using mobile phones but should put our hearts into studies.
