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、experienced
B、frustrated
C、occurred
D、encountered

答案C

解析 词汇辨析题。从原文可以看出作者是在介绍自己的第二次经历:我和儿子一起去一场音乐会,亲眼目睹了摇滚乐(these affairs)是怎么回事儿。The second后省略了experience。occur意为"发生",这里表示自己的第二次经历是发生在和儿子一起去听音乐会的时候。选项中的experience是动词,意为"体验,感受",既然the second后省略了名词experience,显然,这里填入动词experience不符合语境;frustrate意为"挫败,阻碍",encounter意为"遭遇,遇到",这两个词与作者的经历无关。
