21、ers also had a certain appearance in peoples mind: rich, well-dressed and old.But now opera companies around the country are loosening their ties and kicking off their shoes in an attempt to keep opera alive and take it to a younger and not so wealthy audience.Opera producers have found that to attr

22、act this crowd, they need to associate opera with common people. That means no formal suits, old-style theatre or bank breaking ticket prices. And because young people dont or wont come to the opera, companies are bringing the opera to them, giving performances in such usual places as parks, librari

31、 to compensation exists, the on-line customer in Tokyo, say, can hardly go to New York to get a refund for a clothes purchaseOne answer is for government to cooperate more: to recognize each others rulesBut that requires years of work and volumes of detailed rulesAnd plenty of countries have rules t

Some want technical improvements such a

But the highest priority was a noise complaints system that works.Brisbane City Council receives more c

41、omplaints about noise than all other problems put together. So it conducted a survey and found that about half its residents are upset by noise in one form or another traffic, mowers, pool pumps, air conditioners or loud parties. This inspired the Council to bring together more than 100 citizens one

42、 evening to talk through a range of options. The meeting found the present regulatory system bizarre. Depending on the problem, responsibility for noise can lie with the Council, the Environment Protection Authority, one of three government departments or even the police. So complainants often feel

43、they are getting the run-round. When the people at the forum were asked to vote for changes, the strongest response was for a 24-hour noise hotline to be the first port of call for all complaints.The forum also favored regulatory measures, such as tougher minimum standards for noise in appliances li

44、ke air conditioners. This even makes economic sense, as noise is a waste of energy and money. Other measures the meeting supported were wider buffer (缓冲) zones around noisy activities and controls to keep heavy traffic away from residential areas.But there are obvious conflicts. Many people like to

45、have a bar within walking distance if they feel like a drink, but they dont want a noisy pub keeping them awake when they want an early night. Most people want to live near a major road providing good access to other parts of the city, but they dont want the problem of road noise.I was most interest

46、ed by the proposals aimed at behavioral change. There was strong support for measures to reduce traffic: better public transport, cycleways and footpaths, even charges for road use. Many people optimistically thought industry awards for better equipment would stimulate the production of quieter appl

47、iances. It was even suggested that noise from building sites could be alleviated (减轻) if Brisbane adopted daylight saving, thus shifting the working day and providing longer, quieter evenings.41. According to the recent public meeting in Brisbane, what was the first step to take in order to reduce n

48、oise pollution?A. Produce quieter air conditioners.B. Provide better sound barriers around major roads.C. Establish a noise complaints system.D. Make stricter laws to require owners to take responsibility for barking dogs.42. It can be inferred from the passage that _.A. the Brisbane residents were

49、satisfied with the present noise regulatory systemB. many people in Brisbane preferred to live near a pub to which they have easy accessC. nearly all the inhabitants in Brisbane were bothered by noise in one form or anotherD. noise pollution is the most serious among pollution complaints in Brisbane

50、43. Brisbane City Council brought together citizens to talk through solutions to the noise problem mainly due to .A. the result of the survey carried out by itselfB. a noise complaints system that worksC. people asking for tougher laws on noiseD. requirements of an effective noise complaints system

51、44. What does the underlined word “run-round” (Para. 3) mean?A. Unfair treatment. B. Quick response.C. Delaying action in response to a request. D. Full attention.45. How could noise from building sites be alleviated if Brisbane adopted daylight saving? A. If daylight saving was adopted, the daytime

52、 would be prolonged and the nightwould become quieter.B. If daylight saving was adopted, the working hours during the daytime would be shortened while the night would be extended and thus quieter.C. If daylight saving was adopted, the night would be shortened and thus quieter.D. If daylight saving w

53、as adopted, both the daytime and the night would be shortened and the noise would be reduced.第二节 信息匹配 (共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)阅读下列应用文及相关信息，并按照要求匹配信息。请在答题卡上将对应题号的相应选项字母涂黑。若选择E，请涂AB; 若选择F，请涂CD。首先请阅读下列GPS的信息：A.
