问题     Generally speaking, a British is widely regarded as a quiet, shy and conservative person who is 【B1】______ only among those with whom he is acquainted. You have to take a commuter train any morning or evening to 【B2】______ the truth of this. Serious-looking businessmen and women sit reading their newspapers or dozing in a comer; 【B3】______ anybody talks, since to do so would be considered quite offensive. 【B4】______, there is no such a written rule, a commonly understood code of behavior which, 【B5】______ broken, makes the offender immediately the object of【B6】______.
    It has been known as a fact that a British has a 【B7】______ for the discussion of their weather and that, if given a chance, he will talk about it 【B8】______. Some people argue that it is because the British weather seldom【B9】______forecast and hence becomes a source of interest and【B10】______to everyone. This may be so.【B11】______a British cannot have much【B12】______in the weathermen, who, after promising fine, sunny weather for the following day, are often proved wrong【B13】______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【B14】______.
    Foreigners may be surprised at the number of references【B15】______weather that the British make to each other in the course of a single day.【B16】______they may consider this exaggerated and comic, it is worthwhile【B17】______out that it could be used to his advantage.【B18】______he wants to start a conversation with a British but is【B19】______to know where to begin, he could do well to mention the state of the weather. It is a safe subject which will【B20】______an answer from even the most reserved of the British.
【B14】
选项 A、propositions
B、predictions
C、approval
D、defiance
答案B
解析 此处句意为“那些在街上谈论天气的人与预报员一样准确或者不准确”暗含的意思是指英国天气太多变了。因为原文已知信息已经讲过了weathermen的forecast(预测)是不准确的，此处要填人的名词肯定是和forecast大体同义的词，故B．predictions符合题意，为正确答案。proposition“见解，观点”，approval“同意，批准”，defiance“蔑视，挑战”均不符合题意。
