Generally speaking, a British is widely regarded as a quiet, shy and conservative person who is【1】only among those with whom he is acquainted. When a stranger is at present, he often seems nervous, even【2】. You have to take a commuter train any morning or evening to【3】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【4】.
【5】, there is an unwritten but clearly understood code of behavior which, once broken, makes the offender immediately the object of【6】.
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】.
Some people argue that it is because the British weather seldom【9】forecast and hence becomes a source of interest and【10】to everyone.
This may be so.【11】a British cannot have much【12】in the weathermen, who, after promising fine, sunny weather for the following day, are often proved wrong【13】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【14】.
Foreigners may be surprised at the number of references【15】weather that the British【16】to each other in the course of a single day. Very often conversational greetings are【17】by comments on the weather. “Nice day, isn’t it?” “Beautiful!” may well be heard instead of “Good morning, how are you?” Although the foreigner may consider this exaggerated and comic, it is【18】.pointing out that it could be used to his advantage. If he wants to start a conversation with a British but is at a loss to know【19】to begin, he could do well to mention the state of the weather. It is a safe subject which will【20】an answer from even the most reserved of the British.
选项
A、at length
B、to a great extent
C、from his heart
D、by all means
答案
A
解析
惯用衔接题。这里说一有机会,英国人就会怎么样谈论天气。[A]at length“详细地”,符合文意,也和前面的fancy在语意上相互呼应。[B]to a great extent是“很大程度上”,一般用于说明事情的真实程度; [C]from his heart是“发自心底”,说每个人谈论天气时都是发自心底的,意思不通顺,因此排除;[D]by all means“尽一切办法”,语气上过于夸张,与文章基调不符。
