Question

【題目】根據短文內容，從短文后的選項中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項。選項中有兩項為多余選項。
There are so many expressions in American English that sound pleasant but are not.When someone says they have to “face the music” , it does not mean they are going to a concert. “Facing the music” means to accept and deal with the punishment of an action.
For example, “ I can't face another night of camping! It's a cold and rainy”. Or “In life, you must face your fears”. Face used in this way is very common.
But now, let's go back to facing the music. Imagine a friend asks you to take care of her beautiful red sports car. She gives you the keys and says, “Thanks so much for watching my car while I'm away. But please, do not drive it. It is an extremely fast car.You drive it around town one night. And you lose control of the car and drive it into a stop sign. Bang!
When your returns you must tell her what you have done and “face the music”It could be losing her friendship or paying for repairs to her sports to her sports car or both.
To “take your medicine” means to accept the results from something bad you have done. And if someone says, “You made your bed. Now lie in it” they mean you created a bad station and now you will experience the results.
A. But you do not listen.
B. “Face the music ”is a good example.
C. The “music ” here is the result of your actions.
D. American often use the word “face” in this way.
E. Everyone likes to enjoy a concert in the evening.
F. You are very afraid of losing your trust of your friend.
G. There are other American expressions that mean the same thing as “Face the music”.

Answer 1

【答案】B；D；A；C；G
【解析】本文是一篇說明文，介紹了幾個美國英語里面常用的幾個短語，貌似聽起來令人愉悅，其實不然。
（1）考查對上下文的理解和推理判斷能力。根據空后“they have to ‘face the music’”可知，這是一個例子，故選B項。
（2）考查對上下文的理解和推理判斷能力。下文又是一個有關face的例子，故D項“美國人經常這樣使用face這個詞”符合上下文語境。
（3）考查對上下文的理解和推理判斷能力。上文指一個朋友交代的事情，下文內容提到事情并沒有按照交代的去做，故選A項。
（4）考查對上下文的理解和推理判斷能力。根據空前“When your returns you must tell her what you have done and ‘face the music’”。你必須告訴對方你的所作所為，且要承擔責任，也就是你必須為自己的所作所為負責任，C項符合語境。
（5）考查對上下文的理解和推理判斷能力。下文談到的是另外的習語，意思同“Face the music”。故選G項。
