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、fortune
B、luck
C、misfortune
D、hardship
答案C
解析 语义衔接题。该句意为：这是我所见到的最让人感到羞辱的场景。从句中的degrading(令人羞辱的)一词可以判断出，这里表达一种遗憾、屈辱之意，因此用misfortune(不幸)最符合语境，该词把作者对摇滚乐的否定态度表露无遗。fortune和luck都是表示积极意义的词汇，既然是degrading spectacle(令人感到耻辱的场景)，显然这两个词用在此处不合适。hardship意为"困苦，艰难"，根据常识，去听一次摇滚音乐会不可能是倍尝艰辛，因此hardship一词也可以排除。
