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、sprang
B、skipped
C、jumped
D、hopped

答案C

解析 词汇辨析题。此处谈到作者最后处在一群毫无个性的人中间,所有的人都拍手、跺脚,像猴子一样跳来跳去。选项中jump、spring、skip及hop四个词都有"跳"的含义。jump是个通用词,不论是从高处跳到低处,或从一点跳到另一点,都可使用。句中没有指明那些摇滚乐迷的具体表现,因此用jump这个通用词即可。spring指"突然起跳,好像在弹力作用下的跳";skip指"轻快而活泼的跳,或者轻盈而灵敏的跳",如儿童的跳绳游戏;hop一般指青蛙或蝗虫之类动物的跳跃行为,用于人时,尤指独腿或单脚的跳动。这几个词并非通用词,应该用在各自对应的特定语境中,文中没有出现这些语境,故不是本题答案。
