【解析】

文章大意：本文通过介绍Michel十几岁对耳机感兴趣，到二十几岁导致听力受损而引出“听力受损”这个话题。然后介绍了产生听力受损的两个方面，听力受损的后果及如何避免听力受损的一些建议。

【1】考查副词。根据上文Michel was crazy about headphones in his early teens.Michel在他十几岁的时候非常喜欢耳机，结合He walked in the streets of Brooklyn day after day with his favorite music__1__into his ears，loudly.及备选词汇，可知句意为“他每天都走在布鲁克林的大街上，他最喜欢的音乐大声地、直接进入耳朵。”directly into直接进入，故答案填directly。

【2】考查形容词。联系上文可知Michel非常喜欢耳机，他每天走在大街上带着耳机，他最喜欢的音乐大声地、直接进入耳朵；结合By his early 20s，Michael had lost__2__of his hearing.及及备选词汇，可知句意为“在他20岁出头的时候，迈克尔已经丧失了大部分听力。”most大部分，most of his hearing他的大部分听力，故答案填most。

【3】考查介词。根据后面的children and young adults儿童及青少年，可知句意为“儿童和年轻人之间的听力损失正在上升”，between在…两者之间，故答案填between。

【4】考查介词。根据We have much fun__4__rock concerts, parties and sports events.结合备选词汇，可知句意为“我们在摇滚音乐会、聚会和体育活动中得到很多乐趣。”由后面的rock concerts, parties and sports events. 摇滚音乐会、聚会和体育活动，可知是在三者之间，在三者或三者以上中间用介词among，故答案填among。

【5】考查副词。根据The music is so loud 音乐太吵了，结合that you can__5__hear the person sitting beside you. 及备选词汇，可知句意为“你几乎听不见坐在你旁边的人在说什么。”hardly几乎不，副词，修饰后面的动词hear，故答案填hardly。

【6】考查动词。根据Many "modern" restaurants___6___noisy and loud background music to encourage their sales so far. 结合备选词汇，可知句意为“到目前为止，许多“现代”餐馆都选择了嘈杂而响亮的背景音乐来促销。”choose选择，动词，由so far可知句子时态用现在完成时，其结构为have/has+动词的过去分词，主语是复数，用have，choose的过去分词是chosen，故答案填have chosen。

【7】考查名词。根据下文as loud as a plane taking off. 就像飞机起飞时一样响亮，结合Toys that are said to be safe can produce__7__up to 138 decibels（分贝），及备选词汇，可知句意为“据称安全的玩具可以发出高达138分贝的噪音”，sound声音，符合题意，故答案填sound。

【8】考查关系代词。根据Workplace rules require hearing protection for those__8__work with noise above 85 decibels.结合备选词汇，可知句意为“工作场所的规定要求对那些工作环境噪音超过85分贝的人进行听力保护。”这里为定语从句，从句中缺少主语，所以用who来引导，故答案填who。

【9】考查被动语态。根据Children who play computer games should__9__to keep the volume（音量）down take children to loud action movies.结合备选词汇，可知句意为“玩电脑游戏的孩子应该被警告要把音量调低。”warn警告，动词，主语和动词之间存在逻辑上的被动关系，所以应使用被动语态，should为情态动词，含有情态动词的被动语态结构为：情态动词+be+动词的过去分词，warn的过去分词是warned，故答案填be warned。

【10】考查形容词。根据下文like reading drawing and painting，and visiting libraries as well as museums. 如读书、画画、参观图书馆和博物馆，结合Parents should encourage__10__activities，及备选词汇，可知句意为“家长应鼓励孩子进行安静的活动”，quiet安静的，形容词，在句中作定语修饰后面的名词复数activities，故答案填quiet。
