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、convinced
B、persuaded
C、reassured
D、proved
答案A
解析 词汇辨析题。该句意思是：但是我的所见所闻让我相信我们正在让某种非常强有力的东西占据了今天年轻人(的头脑)。convince意为"使…相信"，其主语可以是人，也可以是物，通常后跟宾语从句或用在convince sb．of sth．这一结构中。persuade意为"说服，劝服"，表示说服某人做某事，而convinces(使确信)是让某人相信一句话或一个提议的正确性。根据这一区别可以看出，句子没有说服某人做某事的意思，故排除persuade。reassure意为"安慰，使…安心"，prove意为"证明，证实"，这两个词与本句句子语境没有语义逻辑关系。
