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.

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、where
B、how
C、what
D、which
答案
A
解析
语义、结构衔接题。这里不是在说不知道谈话开始的方式,因此排除[B]how,也不是从几个之中选择,排除[D]which;如果用[C]what的话,应该是what to 1begin with。因此只有[A]where正确,意思是不知道和英国人的谈话从哪里开始。
