Generally speaking, a British is widely regarded as a quiet, shy and conservative person who is【C1】________only among those with whom he is acquainted. When a stranger is at present, he often seems nervous,【C2】________embarrassed. You have to take a commuter train any morning or evening to【C3】________the truth of this. Serious-looking businessmen and women sit reading their newspapers or dozing in a corner; hardly anybody talks, since to do so would be considered quite offensive.【C4】________, there is no such a written rule, a commonly understood code of behavior which,【C5】________broken, makes the offender immediately the object of【C6】________ .
It has been known as a fact that a British has a【C7】________for the discussion of their weather and that, if given a chance, he will talk about it【C8】________. Some people argue that it is because the British weather seldom【C9】________forecast and hence becomes a source of interest and【C10】________to everyone. This may be so.【C11】________a British cannot have much【C12】________in the weathermen, who, after promising fine, sunny weather for the following day, are often proved wrong【C13】________a cloud over the Atlantic brings rainy weather to all districts! The man in the street seems to be as accurate—or as inaccurate—as the weathermen in his【C14】________ .
Foreigners may be surprised at the number of references【C15】________ weather that the British make to each other in the course of a single day. Very often conversational greetings are【C16】________by comments on the weather. "Nice day, isn’t it?" "Beautiful!" may well be heard instead of "Good morning, how are you?"【C17】________the foreigner may consider this exaggerated and comic, it is worthwhile pointing out that it could be used to his advantage.【C18】________he wants to start a conversation with a British but is【C19】________to know where to begin, he could do well to mention the state of the weather. It is a safe subject which will【C20】________ an answer from even the most reserved of the British.
【C20】
选项
A、receive
B、constitute
C、furnish
D、provoke
答案
D
解析
本填空选择动词。根据句子所要表达的意思关键是要在两个选项之间抉择,即A)receive和D)provoke,这两个选项都能表达“得到、获得”的意思.但A)receive色彩上比较平淡,而D)provoke表示“刺激出、激发出(回答)”。色彩非常强烈;本题的决定性因素是句子中的一个关键已知信息:an answer from even the most reserved of the British(从即使最为保守的英国人那里得到回答);此处的“最为保守的英国人”这个线索就说明了这个answer是不容易得到的,所以此处最佳选项应该是带有强烈语气色彩的选项D)provoke,即“刺激出、激发出回答”。这里提醒考生,完形填空的四个选项常常不是在选择对错,而是在选择四个选项中的最佳选项。
