(2022·山东省日照市校际联合检测)At least 3 people are dead in the Philippines now that Typhoon

Hagupit has landed.

The typhoon, which hit the eastern Philippines over the weekend, has blown down trees and sent more

than 650-thousand people into shelters before weakening.

“There were very strong winds last night. The roof was beginning to move, and rain was getting inside

the rooms，” said a villager.

The storm hit with gusts (强风) of over 100 miles per hour. And while the storm has slowed considerably

from the super typhoon level it had last week, Hagupit still remains strong enough to create more damage.

Christopher Perez is a local weather forecaster. He says, “We are continuing to expect bad weather and

rough ocean waves. Threats of possible flash floods and landslides (滑坡) as well as possible storm waves are

occurring in coastal areas.”

Hagupit is expected to roll into the South China Sea tomorrow.

It's currently going westward toward the southern tip of Vietnam, meaning it's unlikely to affect China.

Hagupit's strength in the Philippines is much less severe than Typhoon Haiyan, which rolled through the

country in 2021.

Haiyan's tsunami-like storm waves and killer winds left thousands of people dead and

leveled_entire_villages.

The central Philippines is still trying to recover from last year's massive storm waves.

(2022·东北三校二模)To most people, noise pollution is a jet flying over their heads. For one Spanish

woman, it is a neighbor playing the piano. The woman has taken her neighbor to court. Now she wants to send

her neighbor to prison for over seven years on the charges of psychological damage and noise pollution.

In a country known for its noisiness, the case has raised eyebrows. Neighbors often complain about street

noise in Spain, but people seeking prison time for someone practicing the piano is unheard of. At the trial,

Sonia Bosom says she has been suffering noise pollution up to now due to the practice sessions of Laia Martin,

who lives below her. Martin, 27, didn't admit that she played at home that often, saying she took regular

classes in other towns and mostly practiced at home on the weekends. On the first day of the trial, the newspaper reported that Bosom told the court she now hated pianos so

much that she couldn't even stand seeing them in a film.

Bosom says years of hearing constant playing has caused her “psychological injury”. Medical reports

show she has suffered from a variety of problems, including insomnia (失眠), anxiety, and panic attacks.

She says tests by local authorities have found that the sound levels made by the piano are up to 10

decibels (分贝) higher than the limit. City authorities have asked the family several times to either stop the

piano playing or soundproof (隔音) the room. The family told the court they carried out soundproofing work

twice but the complaints continued.

The court hasn't made a final decision. A spokeswoman says the trial will end before May.

语篇解读：本文是一篇新闻报道。报道了一位西班牙女士因不能容忍邻居练习钢琴的噪声而把对方告上法庭的案件。

5．Bosom wants to send Martin to prison because ________.

A．Martin's playing the piano damaged her health

B．Bosom suffered from heart attack

C．Martin refused to take regular classes in other towns

D．Martin flew a jet over her head

解析：选A 细节理解题。依据文章第一段中的“For one Spanish woman ... and noise pollution.”可知，Bosom要把邻居Martin送进大牢是由于Martin练习钢琴的噪声对她的身心造成了极大的损害。故答案选A。
