【題目】閱讀下面的短文,從短文后的選項(xiàng)中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項(xiàng)補(bǔ)全短文。選項(xiàng)中有一項(xiàng)為多余選項(xiàng)。

There are so many expressions(表達(dá))in American English that sound pleasant(令人愉快的)but are not. 1When someone says they have to “face the music”,it does not mean they are going to a concert. “Face the music” means to accept and deal with the punishment(懲罰)of an action.

2For example,“I can’t face another night of camping! It’s cold and rainy. ” Or “In life,you must face your fears. ”Face used in this way is very common. But now, let’s go back to facing the music. Imagine a friend asks you to take care of her beautiful red sports car. She gives you the keys and says, “Thanks so much for watching my car while I’m away. But please, do not drive it. It is an extremely(極其)fast car.”3You want to show off(炫耀)to some friends. So, you drive it around town one night. As bad luck would have it, you lose control of the car and drive it into a stop sign. Bang!

When your friend returns you must tell her what you have done and “face the music”. “Music” could be losing her friendship or paying for repairs to her sports car or both. Whatever the music is, you must face it.

4To “take your medicine” means to accept the results from something bad you have done. And if someone says,“You made your bed. Now lie in it. ” they mean you created a bad situation and now you will experience the results!

A.But you do not listen.

B.“Face the music” is a good example.

C.The “music” here is the result of your actions.

D.Americans often use the word “face” in this way.

E.There are other American expressions that mean the same thing as “face the music”.

4E

【解析】

本文主要講述了美式英語(yǔ)中有很多聽起來(lái)令人愉快但實(shí)際上并不愉快的表達(dá)方式。同時(shí)列舉了好幾個(gè)關(guān)于“face”的相應(yīng)例子來(lái)說(shuō)明這種用法。

1句意:“Face the music”就是一個(gè)很好的例子。

根據(jù)“When someone says they have to “face the music”,it does not mean they are going to a concert.”可知當(dāng)有人說(shuō)他們必須“面對(duì)現(xiàn)實(shí)”,這并不意味著他們要去聽音樂(lè)會(huì),可推測(cè)出此處是““Face the music”就是一個(gè)很好的例子”,故選B。

2句意:美國(guó)人經(jīng)常這樣使用“臉”這個(gè)詞。

根據(jù)“For example…”可知是舉例子,可推測(cè)出此處是“美國(guó)人經(jīng)常這樣使用“臉”這個(gè)詞”,故選D。

3句意:但是你不聽。

根據(jù)“But please, do not drive it. It is an extremely(極其)fast car.”___3___You want to show off”可知但是請(qǐng)不要開它,這是一輛極快的車,你想炫耀,可推測(cè)出此處是“但是你不聽”,故選A。

4句意:在美國(guó)還有其他一些和“face the music”意思相同的表達(dá)。

根據(jù)“To “take your medicine” means to accept the results from something bad you have done.”可知“take your medicine”意思是接受你做壞事的結(jié)果,可推測(cè)出此處是“在美國(guó)還有其他一些和“face the music”意思相同的表達(dá)”,故選E。

題目是選句子補(bǔ)全短文,做題時(shí),要先通讀短文,理解文章大意;其次,熟悉各備選項(xiàng),結(jié)合設(shè)空處上下文的語(yǔ)境來(lái)作答;再次,不確定的空可先漏過(guò),把確定答案的做完,剩下的題目自然就容易解決;最后,打答案代入文中一一驗(yàn)證是否能保證文章的連貫性。本文第四題,根據(jù)后面舉的例子,可推測(cè)出是“在美國(guó)還有其他一些和“face the music”意思相同的表達(dá)”,相對(duì)比較容易。
