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

选项 A、Surrounded
B、Interrupted
C、Handicapped
D、Irritated
答案 A
解析 动词辨析题。句意为：身处在椅子刮蹭发出的剌耳声音、供暖系统的轰鸣声以及其他孩子竞相发言的话语声的包围之中，有些学生可能很难以听见老师所说的话。本空格所需填写的过去分词，与后面的some-students为逻辑主谓关系。由后面的scraping，hum，voices可知，本处选择surround“包围，围绕”最为贴切。文章没有提及孩子们的情绪变坏，故initate“激怒”没有依据；由上述分析可知，噪音影响是持续的，故interrupt“打断”不合文意；而handicap则表示人为设置障碍或受生理障碍影响，不符合文意。
