题目解答

答案

我们来逐步分析这道题。

题目回顾：

题目问的是：

如果一个人被侵扰性的噪音包围，会发生什么？

选项是：

A. 他永远无法完全放松。
B. 他会健康状况变差。
C. 他会拥有糟糕的人际关系。
D. 他会很快适应这种噪音。

解题过程：

我们从题干中提取关键信息：

> "research shows that we can never completely adapt to new or long-lasting noise pollution. Loud noises cause one of our most primitive fear responses and we can never fully relax if we are surrounded by intrusive noise."

这句话的意思是：

  • 我们永远无法完全适应新的或长期存在的噪音污染。
  • 响亮的噪音会引发我们最原始的恐惧反应。
  • 如果我们被侵扰性的噪音包围，我们就永远无法完全放松。

所以，根据原文，最直接、准确的描述是：

> A. He can never fully relax.

正确答案：

$\boxed{A}$

解析

本题考查对原文关键细节的理解。核心思路是定位到题目中提到的“intrusive noise”对应的原文段落，抓住关键句中的直接结论。破题关键在于识别出“无法完全放松”是原文明确指出的直接结果，而其他选项（如健康、人际关系、适应能力）在原文中未被提及或支持。

  1. 定位关键句
    原文中明确指出：

    "Loud noises cause one of our most primitive fear responses and we can never fully relax if we are surrounded by intrusive noise."
    这表明被侵扰性噪音包围时，人无法完全放松。

  2. 排除干扰项

    • 选项B（健康变差）：原文未提及噪音对健康的具体影响。
    • 选项C（人际关系糟糕）：文中提到“noisy neighbors”是家庭纠纷的常见原因，但题目问的是“被噪音包围的人自身情况”，而非与邻居的关系。
    • 选项D（很快适应）：原文明确否定这一说法，强调“无法完全适应噪音污染”。

  3. 锁定正确答案
    唯一与原文直接对应的选项是A（无法完全放松）。
