Deborah Withington of Sound Alert says that the alarms use most of the frequencies that can be 56 by humans. “It’s a burst of white noise 57 people say sounds like static on the radio,” she says. “Its life-saving potential is great.”
She conducted an experiment in which people were filmed by thermal-imaging cameras trying to find their way out of a large 58 room. It 59 them nearly four minutes to find the door 60 a sound alarm, but only 15 seconds with one.

完形填空
51.B 通過(guò)閱讀我們可以看出，空白后是一種裝置，用來(lái)改變當(dāng)火災(zāi)發(fā)生時(shí)找不到出口的危險(xiǎn)境況，所以要表達(dá)“ 用……裝置”的意思，只能用介詞w i t h :帶著、 帶有。
52. A 我們知道Sound Alert是一家公司的名字，從語(yǔ)意上判斷應(yīng)該是由某人經(jīng)營(yíng)，因此選擇A 較為合適。
53. C 這篇文章的核心內(nèi)容就是有關(guān)盲人警報(bào)器的， 而且后半句也提到a resource centre for the blind,所以順理成章地得出結(jié)論答案應(yīng)是C 。
54. D 我們知道該空的名詞應(yīng)出現(xiàn)在前文，上 一句 就 提 到 “Sound Alert, is installing the alarms in a residential home...” ，所以這里所要填的詞也應(yīng)該是the alarms。
55. B 句子前半句是說(shuō)a wide range of frequencies,所以發(fā)出的應(yīng)是s o u n d , 因此答案選B 。
56. D 文章一直在討論警報(bào)器、 聲音，因此很容易推斷應(yīng)該是被人聽(tīng)到。
57. C 選項(xiàng) A 、 B 、D 都不能構(gòu)成語(yǔ)意上的連貫，而只有C 構(gòu)成一個(gè)句型—— 強(qiáng)調(diào)句， 這句話強(qiáng)調(diào)的是主語(yǔ)。去 掉 it’s... that,剩下的完整句子就是“A burst of white noise, people say ( 插入語(yǔ))，sounds like static on the radio”.
58. B 從上下文可以看出，是一個(gè)定語(yǔ)修飾r o o m , 表 示 “ 充滿(mǎn)了煙火的房間” ，選項(xiàng) A 、 D 意思不吻合 ， C 作為定語(yǔ)，位置不應(yīng)放在r o o m 前 ， 應(yīng)放后面。只有B 合適。
59. C 顯然， 這個(gè)空是考察常用句型“it takes / took sb. some time to do sth” 。關(guān)鍵是確定動(dòng)詞時(shí)態(tài)，從前面看都是過(guò)去時(shí)態(tài)，所以選擇C 。
60. C 逗號(hào)后面的one應(yīng)該是指a sound alarm。從連詞but可以推斷， 前后應(yīng)該意思相反，后面已有了with ,那么前句應(yīng)是without。所以選擇C 。
61. A 句子主語(yǔ)是the brain ， 應(yīng) 和 “ 處理”構(gòu)成主謂關(guān)系，其他動(dòng)詞均不合適。所以選擇A 。
62. D 解題關(guān)鍵是要看出句子中的主要結(jié)構(gòu)是more...than,后面出現(xiàn)核心詞the source, 所以可以得出結(jié)論， 前面的名詞也應(yīng)是source,這樣符合比較級(jí)用法，用來(lái)進(jìn)行比較的事物必須具有可比性，所以選D 。
