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、possession
B、notice
C、care
D、place
答案A
解析 惯用搭配题。从本句之前的内容可知，作者在过去对年轻人喜欢摇滚乐采取听之任之的态度，但是在自己的两次亲身经历之后，作者认为年轻人对摇滚乐的沉迷具有潜在的危险，而自己则有必要指出这些危险所在。这里take possession of是固定搭配，意为"占据，占领"，有统控全局的意思，这与前面举的作者儿子的例子有语义上的关联，表示年轻人受到摇滚乐的控制，而不能自拔。take notice of也是固定搭配，意为"注意，留心"，take care of意为"照看，照管"，这两个短语放在句中不符合上下文语境。take Place of属于错误搭配，正确搭配形式应该是take the place of，意为"代替，替代"。
