问题     Complete silence is found only in laboratories called anechoic rooms. The walls and ceilings, made of blocks of special sound-sucking materials, are more than three feet thick, while floor coverings are six-foot layers of feathers or cotton wool. Silence here can be as painful to the ears as the din(continuous loud noise)of a steelworks or a rocket blast-off, yet scientists get used to this and stay in these silent rooms for hours at a time, using microphones and electronic equipment to test the various materials being developed to make the world a less noisy place.
    Architects have used scientific discoveries to solve noise problems in a number of ways. Walls are hollowed(having empty space inside)and then filled with sound-sucking materials similar to cotton wool. Extra-thick carpets cover the floors, and thick woolen curtains cover the windows. Air conditioning and heating channels are made less noisy by sound-sucking materials.
    Unfortunately, these techniques and others often work too well in some buildings. Noise-proof rooms become almost anechoic and people living in them are disturbed by the lack of sound. One way of handling this problem is to use what they call " sound perfume" — artificial(similarly produced, made by man)noise is piped to rooms through small loudspeakers.
People suffer in anechoic rooms probably because______.
选项 A、they are allowed to move and speak
B、they are used to hearing noise around them
C、the greater air pressure hurts their ears
D、all of the above
答案B
解析 人们在消声室觉得很痛苦可能是因为______。推理题。文章第三段讲到，“听觉香水”——人工噪音可以解决人们在几乎完全无声的环境中很痛苦的问题，可以推测出，人们在消声室里不舒服是因为不习惯周围没有一点噪音。故答案为B。
