    Though we seem to 【C3】_____ to noise by ignoring it, the ear, in 【C4】_____, never closes and the body still responds—sometimes with extreme tension— 【C5】_____ a strange sound in the night.
    The 【C6】_____ we feel when faced with noise is the most common outward disease of the stress 【C7】_____ inside us. The more 【C8】_____ and more serious health hazards 【C9】_____ with the stress caused by noise traditionally have been given much less attentioa 【C10】______, when we are annoyed or made irritable by stress, we should consider these 【C11】_____ fair warning that other things may be happening to us, some of which may be damaging our health.
     【C12】_____ all health hazards of noise, hearing 【C13】_____ is most clearly observable and measurable by health professionals. The other hazards are 【C14】_____ to identify. For many of us, there may be a risk that 【C15】_____ to stress of noise increases 【C16】_____ to disease and infection. The more susceptible among us may experience noise as a 【C17】_____ factor in heart problems and other diseases. Noise that causes annoyance and irritability in healthy persons may have more serious consequences for those already ill in mind and body. However, the link between noise and many disabilities or diseases has not yet been
     【C18】_____ demonstrated, and we tend to 【C19】_____ annoyance caused by noise as a 【C20】_____ to pay for living in the modern world.
【C8】
选项 A、delicate
B、complicated
C、sensitive
D、subtle
答案D
解析 考查上下文形容词词义辨析。本题需要填入修饰health hazards的词。delicate“精巧的；脆弱的；棘手的”；complicated“复杂的，难解的”；sensitive“敏感的”；subtle“微妙的，难以觉察的”。结合下文的given much less attention可推断此处health hazards如果是棘手的或复杂的，不能构成受关注少的理由。可排除具有一定干扰性的A和B；此空应该表示health hazards难以察觉，才导致人们给予很少的关注，故subtle最符合文意，选D。
