2021年全国统一高考英语试卷（乙卷）试题解析(16)

A.He"s a news reporter.
B.He"s an office manager.
C.He"s a professional designer.
D.He"s a published writer.
【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打扰。故选D。
