9．When someone says，"I guess I′ll have to face the music"，it doesn′t mean he is going to a concert．It is something unhappy．For example，a student is called in by his teacher to explain why he didn′t finish his homework．
Every American，young or old，knows the phrase"to face the music"well．It′s at least 100years old．Where did the expression come from？
One explanation （解释） is about the American writer James Fennimore Cooper．He said the expression was first used by actors．When they were asked to perform，they would say，"It′s time to face the music．"And that is exactly what they did-face the band which is just below the stage （舞台）．
An actor might be nervous when he moved onto the stage in front of the audience （观众）．But he had to go out．So，"to face the music"came to mean having to go through something no matter how unhappy it might be，because you had no choice．
The other explanation comes from the army．The soldiers had to face their leader′s check．They were worried about how well they looked．Were their guns clean enough to pass the check？Still，the men had to go out to face the check．What else could they do？
72．What does the expression"to face the music"exactly mean？D
A．To go to a concert．B．To become interested in music．
C．To join the army．D．To go through something unhappy．
73．In which of the following places won′t the expression"to face the music"beused？C
A．The stage．B．The school．C．The city library．D．The army．
74．What′s the main idea of the fourth paragraph？D
A．Worries of an actor on the stage．
B．Different kinds of audience．
C．Why an actor is nervous on the stage．
D．The true meaning of"to face the music"．
75．Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage？B
A．Here are two explanations about the expression"to face the music"．
B．The music in"to face the music"is a kind of terrible music．
C．When you face the music，it means that you must go through it．
D．When someone says he has to face the music，he will have no choice．

分析文章大意：这是一篇说明文，本文主要讲解了一个短语"face the music"的含义以及它在什么样的情景下使用．Face the music这个习语所要表达的意思恰是和享受音乐相反的一种感觉，可以理解为不得不接受惩罚、承担后果．作者列举了两个例子进行了解释说明．

解答 72．答案：D．细节理解题．根据第一行第二句It is something unhappy．它是不愉快的事．可知，to face the music的意思是"经历不愉快的事"，选D．
73．答案：C．细节理解题．根据第一段a student is called in by his teacher to explain why he didn′t finish his homework．老师叫了一位学生来解释他为什么没有完成作业．可知，B选项"在学校"会使用．根据第四行When they were asked to perform，they would say，"It′s time to face the music当他们被要求表演时，他们会说："是时候面对现实了．"可知，A选项"在舞台上"会使用．根据最后一段第一行The soldiers had to face their leader′s check．士兵们不得不面对领导人的检查．可知，D选项"军队"会使用，因此只有C选项"在城市图书馆"不会用到face the music（面对不愉快的局面；承担责任）这样的表达．选C．
74．答案：D．细节理解题．根据第四段段意"一个演员在观众面前上台时可能会紧张，但他不得不出去，所以，"face the music"意味着必须经历一些事情，不管它有多么不愉快，因为你别无选择．"，可知，第四段告诉我们"face the music"的真正含义．选D．
75．答案：B．推理判断题．根据第一句When someone says，"I guess I′ll have to face the music"，it doesn′t mean he is going to a concert．It is something unhappy．当有人说，"我想我必须面对音乐"，它并不意味着他要去听音乐会，它是不愉快的事情．可知，B选项"face the music中的音乐是一种可怕的音乐．"不正确．选B．

点评阅读题型，要注重句子与句子之间、段落与段落之间逻辑关系以及对篇章的整体理解．根据所给问题选择正确选项完成试题．
