【解析】

试题分析：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。

【1】G 根据横线前句They move about in their personal bubbles, sometimes unaware of what's happening around them．可知现在很多年轻人都带着耳机听音乐，似乎都沉浸在自己的世界里，不理会周围世界发生的事情。故G项“They walk around in their own spaces, with their personal "digital noise reduction systems他们生活在自己的空间里....”与前句相一致。

【2】D 根据横线前句For me; walking around in my own personal bubble is perfect.可知本段认为这样做是有好处的，带上耳机沉浸在自己的世界里就不需要去管外面的世界里的一切。故D项“I don't have to deal with the noise from the environment．”符合上下文串联。

【3】F 根据横线前句At this precise moment, the slightest disturbance would break your concentration．在我们专心的时候，最轻微的打扰都会影响我们的专注度。在这时，带着耳机听音乐就是忽视别人的打扰的最好的方法。故F项符合上下文串联。

【4】C 根据本段后两句可知目前正是青少年成长的时候，在家里父母的唠叨会让孩子很烦恼，所以孩子就戴上耳机避免这些干扰，所以在家里，孩子更喜欢戴着耳机。故C项正确。

【5】A 根据横线前句In this world, we will all be permanently plugged in.可知在现在这个科技千变万化的世界里，我们喜欢的东西在不断地发生着变化。所以A项“Our instruments are changing quickly我们喜欢的东西也在不断地变化”与上下文相一致。
