“Millions of young people will lose their hearing in five years if they listen to MP3 or MP4 players at a too high voice every day,” scientists say recently.

Do you often listen to MP3 players at a too high voice? Are you frightened to hear this?

The sizes of MP3 players are very small, but small MP3 players make it easy to take hundreds of songs with you. So many young people carry them and listen to music every day. MP3 players are very popular among students. 

The scientists say teenagers should be far from high volume (音量), including mobile phones’ noise. A study says, “High volume and long listening time can cause hearing problems.” They think if young people listen at more than 89 decibels (分貝) every day, they will lose their hearing in five years. A scientist said, “So many young people often use personal music players and mobile phones at a high voice. I am afraid that they may be losing their hearing.

So let’s turn our MP3 players down!

48. According to the passage, which of the following is true?

A. Scientists tell young people to turn off their MP3 players.

B. Teenagers will lose their hearing if they listen to hundreds of songs in MP3 players.

C. A person will lose hearing in 5 years if he or she listens to an MP3 player every day.

D. The mobile phone can also cause hearing problems if we don’t use it correctly.

49. The underlined word “they” (Paragraph 4) most probably refers to ______.

A. scientists    B. MP3 players      C. mobile phones           D. teenagers 

50. Which might be the best title for this passage?

We have always been interested in the moon. 2000 years ago people already knew it moved around the earth and where it would be in the sky at different times of the year. At that time, everything about the moon was learned by watching it carefully in the sky.

When scientists could use telescopes(望遠(yuǎn)鏡) to study the moon more closely, their ideas began to change. They could see the moon was made of rocks. Most scientists thought moon rocks would be different from those on Earth. This was because they believed the moon had once been a planet that had been caught in the earth’s gravity millions of years earlier.

In 1969 moon rocks were finally brought to the earth and studied. Much to their surprise, scientists found that, except for water, the moon and the earth were made of the same things. Once again new ideas were needed for this new information.

After years of study, most scientists now think that the moon was once part of Earth. They believe very early in its history, maybe 4 million years ago, something about the size of Mars hit Earth. This sent billions of rocks into space around our planet. These rocks slowly joined together and after many years became the moon.

In the future, even though our ideas about the moon may change again, we will still be interested in it.

1.From the passage we know the moon was made of_____________.

A．earth

B．rocks

C．water

D．metal

2.In the passage the writer wants to tell us ___________________.

A．why people are interested in the moon

3.Before 1969 most scientists thought the moon was ______________.

A．part of the earth billions of years earlier

B．older than the earth

C．a(chǎn) planet caught by the earth’s gravity

D．made of the same things as the earth
