问题     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、carried out
B、carried off
C、carded along
D、carded on
答案C
解析 短语辨析题；从该句中的far more dangerously(危险得多)及后面的gave up his／her individuality(放弃了个性)可以推出，这里表达的是在摇滚乐那种环境中的人慢慢地会受噪音的影响，被带入一种氛围中。carry along意为"被吸引住，大受影响"，用在句中解释了年轻人被摇滚乐吸引住，进而集体疯狂的行为。carry out意为"完成，实现"，carry off 意为"对付，轻易地完成"，carry on意为"继续"，这三个短语都不符合上下文语境。
