It has been known as a fact that a British has a【7】for the discussion of their weather and that, if given a chance, he will talk about it【8】.

选项
A、emotion
B、fancy
C、likeliness
D、judgment
答案
B
解析
语义衔接题。根据常识以及文章下面的论述可推断英国人喜欢谈论天气。[B]fancy“喜好”,符合文章意思。[A]emotion“感情”,在这里没有表示出“喜爱”的感情;[C]likeliness“可能性”和[D]judgment“判断”都和文章意思相去甚远。
