干扰

首页 > 试题列表 > 单题解析

19803. （2021•陕西省•乙卷） During an interview for one of my books，my interviewer said something I still think about often.Annoyed by the level of distraction（干扰）in his open office，he said，"That's why I have a membership at the coworking space across the street ﹣ so I can focus." His comment struck me as strange.After all，coworking spaces also typically use an open office layout（布局）.But I recently came across a study that shows why his approach works.
The researchers examined various levels of noise on participants as they completed tests of creative thinking.They were randomly divided into four groups and exposed to various noise levels in the background，from total silence to 50 decibels（分贝），70 decibels，and 85 decibels.The differences between most of the groups were statistically insignificant；however，the participants in the 70 decibels group ﹣ those exposed to a level of noise similar to background chatter in a coffee shop ﹣ significantly outperformed the other groups.Since the effects were small，this may suggest that our creative thinking does not differ that much in response to total silence and 85 decibels of background noise.
But since the results at 70 decibels were significant，the study also suggests that the right level of background noise ﹣ not too loud and not total silence ﹣ may actually improve one's creative thinking ability.The right level of background noise may interrupt our normal patterns of thinking just enough to allow our imaginations to wander，without making it impossible to focus.This kind of "distracted focus" appears to be the best state for working on creative tasks.
So why do so many of us hate our open offices？The problem may be that，in our offices，we can't stop ourselves from getting drawn into others' conversations while we're trying to focus.Indeed，the researchers found that face﹣to﹣face interactions and conversations affect the creative process，and yet a coworking space or a coffee shop provides a certain level of noise while also providing freedom from interruptions.

（1）Why does the interviewer prefer a coworking space？　　
A.It helps him concentrate.
B.It blocks out background noise.
C.It has a pleasant atmosphere.
D.It encourages face﹣to﹣face interactions.
（2）Which level of background noise may promote creative thinking ability？　　
A.Total silence.
B.50 decibels.
C.70 decibels.
D.85 decibels.
（3）What makes an open office unwelcome to many people？　　
A.Personal privacy unprotected.
B.Limited working space.
C.Restrictions on group discussion.
D.Constant interruptions.
（4）What can we infer about the author from the text？　　
A.He's a news reporter.
B.He's an office manager.
C.He's a professional designer.

[解析]

（1）A.细节理解题。根据第一段That's why I have a membership at the coworking space across the street ﹣ so I can focus.这就是为什么我在街对面的联合办公空间有会员资格——这样我就可以集中精力了。可知采访者更喜欢联合办公室的原因是有助于集中精力。故选A。
（2）C.细节理解题。根据第二段however，the participants in the 70 decibels group ﹣ those exposed to a level of noise similar to background chatter in a coffee shop ﹣ significantly outperformed the other groups.Since the effects were small，this may suggest that our creative thinking does not differ that much in response to total silence and 85 decibels of background noise.然而，音量为70分贝的那组参与者（置身于类似于咖啡店背景噪音的环境中）的表现明显好于其他组。由于影响很小，这可能表明，我们的创造性思维在完全安静和85分贝的背景噪音下的反应没有太大区别。可知70分贝可能提高创造性思维能力。故选C。
（3）D.推理判断题。根据最后一段So why do so many of us hate our open offices？The problem may be that，in our offices，we can't stop ourselves from getting drawn into others' conversations while we're trying to focus.那么，为什么我们中有那么多人讨厌开放式办公室呢？问题可能是，在我们的办公室里，当我们试图集中注意力时，我们无法阻止自己卷入别人的谈话中。可知，开放办公室对许多人来说不受欢迎的原因是不断的被打扰。故选D。
（4）D.推理判断题。根据第一段During an interview for one of my books，my interviewer said something I still think about often.在一次关于我的一本书的采访中，我的采访者说了一些我至今还经常想起的话。可知作者可能是一位出版作家。故选D。
