Question

17．Ever irritated（激怒．by someone shouting at their mobile phone in a public place？
We've all lost temper at least once at the sound of a person loudly communicating with someone on a mobile phone．
Recently，Dr．Adam Rutherford has been answering questions．"I have no interest in hearing about other people's private lives．""The conversation would have seemed to worry older generations．I think they would have considered it rude to talk loudly in public．"
Many people seem to do it without realizing why，but is there a scientific reason for their loudness？
The answer begins by looking at one of the telephone designs called"sidetone"-a feature whereby a caller could hear his own voice in the phone's speaker when talking．
This makes sure the user that they can be heard，leaving no reason to raise one's voice．But the problem with mobiles is that they are mobile，and a fixed volume of"sidetone"isn't always effective where background noise is very high．
Plus，this is our natural tendency（倾向）to raise our voice to match the noise levels around us．We tend to try and match the loudest sound we can hear．
It is worth pointing out，however，that this would not be the first time that our use of mobile phones has challenged the idea of good manners．When phones were firstly invented，they raised all kinds of questions．Should one have a phone conversation when undressed？Was it proper to stand up when speaking to a woman on the phone？
It seems mobile phones，then，are a technology that may always form new etiquette issues（礼仪问题）．

88．Does Dr．Adam Rutherford enjoy hearing about other people's private lives？No，he doesn't．．
89．When do we easily lose temper？When we hear a person loudly communicating/talking with someone on a mobile phone．．
90．How may old people feel when they hear somebody talking loudly on the phone？They may feel worried and rude．．
91．Where isn't the fixed volume of"sidetone"always effective？In noisy places．
92．What is the natural reason for loudness？We tend to try and match the loudest sound we can hear．．
93．What is your suggestion when answering the phone in public？Why？I suggest that we should speak softly because you may disturb others．．

Answer 1

分析 本文讲述的是在公告场合大声打电话的问题，当然有环境的因素，重要的这是不礼貌的行为．．

解答 88．No，he doesn't．细节理解题．根据Dr．Adam Rutherford has been answering questions．"I have no interest in hearing about other people's private lives．可知Dr．Adam Rutherford 对别人的私生活没兴趣，故填No，he doesn't．．
89．When we hear a person loudly communicating with someone on a mobile phone．细节理解题．根据We've all lost temper at least once at the sound of a person loudly communicating with someone on a mobile phone．可知我们听到有人在大声打电话是容易生气，故填When we hear a person loudly communicating with someone on a mobile phone．
90．They may feel worried and rude．细节理解题．根据The conversation would have seemed to worry older generations．I think they would have considered it rude to talk loudly in public可知某些某些人在电话里大声说话会让老人感到担心和不礼貌，故填They may feel worried and rude．
91．In noisy places．细节理解题．根据and a fixed volume of"sidetone"isn't always effective where background noise is very high可知在嘈杂的环境下，手机固定的音量是不行的，故填In noisy places．
92．We tend to try and match the loudest sound we can hear．细节理解题．根据this is our natural tendency（倾向）to raise our voice to match the noise levels around us．We tend to try and match the loudest sound we can hear．可知大声讲电话的自然环境的原因是周围的环境嘈杂，我们不得不大声说话，故填We tend to try and match the loudest sound we can hear．
93．I suggest that we should speak softly because you may disturb others．推理判断题．根据文章内容可知本文讲述的是在公告场合大声打电话是不礼貌的，所以我们应该建议不要在公告场合大声打电话．故填I suggest that we should speak softly because you may disturb others．．
