选项
A、count on
B、insist on
C、depend on
D、concentrate on
答案
D
解析
上下文语义题。上一句提到“使大脑更容易集中注意力(stay focused)”,此处则对上一句作进一步解释。句中罗列了两种情形:一是“尽管在嘈杂的生物课上”,二是“几年后当在隔壁办公室的同事开始对下属尖叫时,能够给客户打完电话”。这两个情形的背景都是相同的,即吵闹,由此可见,填入的词应表示“注意力集中”之意,D项concentrate on“集中精力于”符合要求,且呼应了上一句的stay focused。A项count on和C项depend on意思相近,均有“依靠”之意,填入文中与despite the noise in the classroom在内容上衔接不上,且一道题不可能有两个答案,故可首先排除。B项insist on“坚持”填入文中与上下文所提及的“注意力集中”的语境不符。
