问题     The steady hum of school heating systems and air-conditioners can mean lower test scores for many young students, found a new study. The finding adds to growing evidence that classroom noises【C1】______ with learning.
    Plenty of studies have demonstrated the distracting【C2】______of noise in the classroom. In louder rooms, kids have more trouble hearing the teacher and become easily distracted,【C3】______when they are reading to themselves. Schools【C4】______ airports also report lower test scores than schools that are not affected by airplane noise. In one study, German students started scoring better on reading and vocabulary tests after a nearby airport【C5】______.
    Researchers were also interested in less【C6】______ sounds like the general buzz of basic mechanical systems. It was【C7】______that kids who spent all day in classrooms with such noises【C8】______ to score lower on standard reading comprehension tests. But math scores didn’t【C9】______ with noise levels, possibly because teachers use more【C10】______ when they’re teaching math than when they’re teaching words.
  【C11】______, lots of background noise sets kids up for problems. Studies have shown that kids make more noise in louder rooms.【C12】______by the scraping of chairs, the hum of the heating system,【C13】______the voices of other kids competing to be heard, some students【C14】______have a particularly hard time hearing【C15】______ the teacher is saying. And it’s not that they’re lazy or using noise as an【C16】______. Young brains have a much harder time【C17】______a signal from the background than mature, adult brains do.
    Along with【C18】______work, the new findings suggest the【C19】______ for enforcement of ANSI’s standards. Despite an endless list of budgetary【C20】______, schools might have to put quiet at the top of their to-do lists.
【C5】
选项 A、shut down
B、shut away
C、shut off
D、shut out
答案A
解析 短语辨析题。句意为：在一项研究中，德国的一些学生在附近的机场关闭后阅读和词汇考试的成绩开始上升。由上一句可知，机场噪音会影响教学，因此考试的成绩如果想提高，必然要去除机场噪音的影响，因此airport后面用shut down较为合适。shut away不是固定搭配；shut off意为“关掉”，shut out意为“排除，把……关在外面”，均不合文意，排除。
