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、standard
B、level
C、pollution
D、grade
答案B
解析 语义衔接题。本题所在处位于过去分词短语后置定语中，该定语修饰collective madness。显然，这里是在解释这种集体疯狂的原因——噪音的大小。level意为"程度"，相当于degree，如：an unsafe level of toxicity(毒性的危险程度)。level能够表示成就、强度或浓度的相对高低，句中noise level表示噪声强度的高低。standard意为"标准"，指公认的衡量品质、才能、价值、道德等的标准、规则、原则等，grade意为"等级，级别"，这两个词都没有强度大小、高低的含义。pollution意为"污染，污染物"，虽然noise pollution是污染的一种，但文中没有提到污染的问题，将pollution放入句中非常突兀，上下文没有任何语义联系及线索。
