Generally speaking, a British is widely regarded as a quiet, shy and conservative person who is【21】only among those with whom he is acquainted. When a stranger is at present, he often seems nervous, 【22】embarrassed. You have to take a commuter train any morning or evening to【23】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.
【24】, there is an unwritten but clearly understood code of behavior which, 【25】broken, makes the offender immediately the object of【26】.
It has been known as a fact that a British has a【27】for the discussion of their weather and that, if given a chance, he will talk about it【28】. Some people argue that it is because the British weather seldom【29】forecast and hence becomes a source of interest and【30】to everyone. This may be so.【31】a British cannot have much【32】in the weathermen, who, after promising fine, sunny weather for the following day, are often proved wrong【33】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【34】.
Foreigners may be surprised at the number of references【35】weather that the British make to each other in the course of a single day. Very often conversational greetings are【36】by comments on the weather. "Nice day, isn’t it?" "Beautiful day I" may well be heard instead of "Good morning, how are you?"【37】the foreigner may consider this exaggerated and comic, it is worthwhile pointing out that it could be used to his advantage.【38】he wants to start a conversation with a British but is【39】to know where to begin, he could do well to mention the state of the weather. It is a safe subject which will【40】an answer from even the most reserved of the British.
选项
A、if
B、once
C、when
D、whereas
答案
C
解析
A项意为“如果”,B项意为“一旦,曾经”,C项意为“当…时候”,D项意为“然而,可是”。此处意为“一个天气预报员预测第二天是个大晴天,但当大西洋上的一片云给所有地区带来普遍降雨时,事实便证明他的预报是错误的”。这是一种顺接,先排除D项,此处是一种对常出现的情况的客观描述,所以非假设或条件关系,也排除A项和B项。
