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、major
B、minor
C、main
D、subordinate
答案B
解析 语义衔接题。题目所在的句子是有关作者第一次与摇滚乐接触的经历，其中空白处紧接着出现了转折连词but，这表明其前形容词的含义与后面的意思相对。but后出现了highly symptomatic，意为"极具指示性的"，因此可以推出前面的形容词应该有"无关紧要"的含义。minor意为"较小的"，放入句中表达"我的第一次经历，也许不那么重要，但是极具指示性"，符合上下文语义及逻辑关系。major意为"较大的，主要的"，main意为"主要的，大部分的"，这两个词与highly symptomatic不能构成转折关系，因此不符合语境。subordinate意为"从属的"，与minor相比，subordinate过于具体化，通常与main构成反义对比关系，这里不与highly symptomatic构成转折关系。
