【題目】根據(jù)短文內容，從短文后的選項中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項。選項中有兩項為多余選項。
There are so many expressions in American English that sound pleasant but are not.When someone says they have to “face the music” , it does not mean they are going to a concert. “Facing the music” means to accept and deal with the punishment of an action.
For example, “ I can't face another night of camping! It's a 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 fast car.You drive it around town one night. And you lose control of the car and drive it into a stop sign. Bang!
When your returns you must tell her what you have done and “face the music”It could be losing her friendship or paying for repairs to her sports to her sports car or both.
To “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 station 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. American often use the word “face” in this way.
E. Everyone likes to enjoy a concert in the evening.
F. You are very afraid of losing your trust of your friend.
G. There are other American expressions that mean the same thing as “Face the music”.

【答案】B；D；A；C；G
【解析】本文是一篇說明文，介紹了幾個美國英語里面常用的幾個短語，貌似聽起來令人愉悅，其實不然。
（1）考查對上下文的理解和推理判斷能力。根據(jù)空后“they have to ‘face the music’”可知，這是一個例子，故選B項。
（2）考查對上下文的理解和推理判斷能力。下文又是一個有關face的例子，故D項“美國人經(jīng)常這樣使用face這個詞”符合上下文語境。
（3）考查對上下文的理解和推理判斷能力。上文指一個朋友交代的事情，下文內容提到事情并沒有按照交代的去做，故選A項。
（4）考查對上下文的理解和推理判斷能力。根據(jù)空前“When your returns you must tell her what you have done and ‘face the music’”。你必須告訴對方你的所作所為，且要承擔責任，也就是你必須為自己的所作所為負責任，C項符合語境。
（5）考查對上下文的理解和推理判斷能力。下文談到的是另外的習語，意思同“Face the music”。故選G項。

I sometimes just wanted to sit in the dark. I hate to admit this, or sometimes when I'm feeling bad, I'll lock myself in the bathroom, turn away the lights and just sit on the floor. I don't know what. Maybe I feel comfortable and relaxed in totally darkness. Sometimes, I just stare into the darkness without think of anything. Maybe I'm sitting there waiting for someone show up. I also think of all kind of things sometimes. I will not only think of the things that they happened in the past, but imagine what will happen in a future. It really helps as I will be happier after that.

Last year, I went to Australia for a short-term study like an international student. One of my classmates suggested we shared our favorite recipes for foods from our own countries during New Year’s party. We all agreed to this wonderful idea and cooked my unique dishes for the party. Hariyati from Indonesia shared a kind of cookie what was shaped like elephant ears. Susan from South Africa prepared some sweet dumplings packed in several banana leaf. Chiemi from Japan cooked special rice balls mixing with fish. And I was served Daoxiao noodles, my hometown — Shanxi’s local food. These variously foods were all delicious. Therefore, my favorite was still Chinese food.
