A.face the music

B.have an axe to grind

C.call a spade a spade

参考答案：D

参考解析：

考查谚语。句意：马戏团的猴子总是表演得非常滑稽有趣，每次它们出现在舞台上都会博得满堂喝彩。face the music意为“勇于承担后果，倾听责备或批评”；have an axe to grind意为“动机不纯，有个人打算”；call a spade a spade意为“实话实说，说老实话，直言不讳”；bring the house down意为“博得全场喝彩”。根据前面的“always give very funny and interesting performances”可知，猴子们的表演很精彩，赢得观众的一片喝彩。故选D。
