这是一篇说明文。当今随处可见带着耳机的青少年们，他们沉浸在自己的世界里，与外界隔绝。戴耳机有很多好处，可以省去很多打扰和麻烦。科技改变了人们的生活习惯，本来是为了使生活更美好，但人们似乎在逐渐成为它们的奴隶。 【16题详解】
由“ They move about in their personal bubbles, sometimes unaware of what's happening around them．___1___Outside life is shut out.”可知，人们塞着耳机，沉浸在自己的世界里，有时甚至意识不到外界发生的事情，以及划线部分后面的“外界环境是被关闭的”。所以小题1既要承接上文的内容，又要引出下文。故G选项“他们在各自的空间活动，戴着他们自己的数码音乐产生系统(耳机) ”切题。故选G项。 【17题详解】
由“What's even better, wearing earphones seems to give a signal to people which says; \”可知，作者认为在自己的世界中生活是很不错的，戴着耳机会对于别人来说是一个信号，告诉他们自己目前不想讲话。所以小题2要与后一句为并列关系，来说明带耳机的好处。故D选项“我无需应对外界的噪音”切题。故选D项。 【18题详解】
由“At this precise moment, the slightest disturbance would break your concentration___3___Once again, those wires hanging from your ears would be sure to give that \”可知，就在此时此刻，一点小小的干扰都会使你注意力不集
中。你耳朵上的耳机会给周围的人会给出“走开，请勿打扰”的暗示。所以小题3与后一句为并列关系，来说明耳机在免被打扰所起的作用。故F选项“用耳机听音乐就是一个很好的忽视那些打扰的方法”切题。故选F项。 【19题详解】
由“It's probably part of the growing up stage when they just want to ignore their whole family”可知，这可能是成长阶段的一部分，当他们只想忽略他们的整个家庭。所以这一段主要讲青少年在家里戴耳机的原因是对小题4“青少年喜欢在家里使用耳机”的具体解释。故C选项“青少年喜欢在家里使用耳机”切题。故选C项。 【20题详解】
由“And they are changing our social habits along the way”可知，它们也在改变着我们的生活方式，所以小题5与后一句为并列关系且话题一致。故A选项“我们的设备在快速变化”切题。故选A项。
