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】本文是一篇说明文,介绍了几个美国英语里面常用的几个短语,貌似听起来令人愉悦,其实不然。
(1)考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。根据空后“they have to ‘face the music’”可知,这是一个例子,故选B项。
(2)考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。下文又是一个有关face的例子,故D项“美国人经常这样使用face这个词”符合上下文语境。
(3)考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。上文指一个朋友交代的事情,下文内容提到事情并没有按照交代的去做,故选A项。
(4)考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。根据空前“When your returns you must tell her what you have done and ‘face the music’”。你必须告诉对方你的所作所为,且要承担责任,也就是你必须为自己的所作所为负责任,C项符合语境。
(5)考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。下文谈到的是另外的习语,意思同“Face the music”。故选G项。
