第七部分　阅读表达(共3小题;53题1分，54题2分，55题3分，满分6分)

请认真阅读下面短文，用英语回答短文后的问题，并将答案写在横线上。

Have you ever been irritated(激怒) by someone shouting at his 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 guarantees 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 loud.

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).

53. When do we easily lose temper?

_______________________________________________________________

54. Where isn’t the fixed volume of “sidetone” always effective?

_______________________________________________________________

55. Do you want to have a telephone called “sidetone”? Why or why not?

_______________________________________________________________
