Most people hate rock music. While I am not an (1)_____ or biased person by nature, two (2)_____ and striking personal experiences of rock music (3)_____ the past two weeks have persuaded me that it has become a duty for those of us with enough common (4)_____ to see its potential dangers to point them out. My first experience—perhaps a (5)_____ one, but highly symptomatic—was the realization that if I spoke to my teenage son when he was listening to rock music through headphones, he replied in an (6)_____ loud voice, as if there was something wrong with his hearing. The second (7)_____ when I went with him to a "concert" and witnessed for myself what these affairs are like.
(8)_____ I went to that concert, my first and assuredly my last, I had always (9)_____ the "live-and-let-live" attitude that rock music was simply not my (10)_____ but that other people had every fight to enjoy it if it was theirs. But what I saw and heard (11)_____ me that we are allowing something very powerful to take (12)_____ of the younger generation today. (13)_____, I noticed such collective madness, brought about by the noise (14)_____. But secondly, and far more dangerously, I observed that after a time everyone was (15)_____ by the noise, and gave up his/her individuality. In the end I was in the middle of a (16)_____ crowd who clapped and stamped and (17)_____ around like monkeys. It was the most degrading human spectacle (18)_____ I have ever had the (19)_____ to witness, and I seriously believe that in time to come our present younger generation would thank us if we managed to put a (20)_____ to it now.
选项
A、faceless
B、notorious
C、modest
D、arrogant
答案
A
解析
语义衔接题。faceless意为"缺乏个性的,没有个性的",这里faceless与上句中的gave up his/her individuality呼应,既然放弃了个性,就是faceless people。这里应注意避免从字面上理解faceless的含义,如果将faceless理解成"没有脸的"或者"不要脸的",则会造成误选。notorious意为"声名狼藉的,臭名昭著的",文中没有提到喜欢摇滚乐的人名声不好;modest意为"谦虚的,谦让的",文中作者表达了对摇滚乐不赞同的态度,因此不可能说那些随着摇滚乐摆动的人是 modest crowd(谦虚的人);arrogant意为"傲慢的,自大的",文中内容与骄傲与否无关,故排除本项。
