In louder rooms, kids have more trouble hearing the teacher and become easily distracted,【C3】______when they are reading to themselves.

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。
