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.
【C4】
选项 A、among
B、outside
C、beside
D、near
答案D
解析 介词辨析题。句意为：临近机场的学校也报告称他们的测试成绩比不受机场噪声影响的学校的要低。四个选项均表示位置关系，而本文主要是强调噪声影响，再根据下一句中的“a nearby airport”可知，near“靠近”为最佳答案。outside“在外面”范围过于宽泛，不能说明远近，因此排除；among“在……中间”和beside“在……旁边”则范围过窄，也不是适当的答案。
