问题     The sense of sound is one of our most important means of knowing what is going on around us. Sound has a waster product, too, in the form of noise. Noise has been called unwanted sound. Noise is growing and it may get much worse before it gets any better.
    Scientists, for several years, have been studying how noise affects people and animals. They are surprised by what they have learned. Peace and quiet are becoming harder to find. Noise pollution is a threat that should be looked at carefully.
    There is a saying that it is so noisy that you can’t hear yourself think. Doctors who study noise believe that we must sometimes hear ourselves think. If we don’t, we may have headaches, other aches and pains, or even worse mental problems.
    Noise adds more tension (紧张) to a society that already faces enough stress.
    But noise is not a new problem. In ancient Rome, people complained so much about noise that government stopped chariots (四轮马车) from moving through the streets at night!
    Ways of making less noise are now being tested. There are even laws controlling noise. We cannot return to the "good old days" of peace and quiet. But we can reduce noise--if we shout loudly enough about it.
When the writer says we cannot return to the good old days, he means that ______.
选项 A、our society is becoming much worse than before
B、in our modem society it is hard to lead a quiet life
C、the old days were much happier than the present time
D、it is impossible for us to deal with noise as we did before
答案B
解析 本题为推理题。文章主要谈到噪音问题，当今社会噪音越来越多，所以相对于今天的“流金岁月”就应该是宁静的生活，所以B是正确答案。
