Broadly speaking, the Englishman is a quiet, shy, reserved person who is fully 【21】______ only among people he knows well.
In the presence of strangers or foreigners he often seams inhibited. 【22】______ embarrassed. You have only to 【23】______ a commuter train any morning or evening to see the truth of this. Serious looking businessmen and women sit reading their newspapers or dozing in a corner; no one speaks. In fact, to do so would seem most unusual. 【24】______ , there is here an unwritten but clearly understood code of behavior which. 【25】______ broken, makes the person immediately the object of 【26】______ .
It is a well-known fact that the English have a 【27】______ for the discussion of their weather and that, given half a chance, they will talk about it 【28】______ . Some people argue that it is because English weather 【29】______ forecast and hence is a source of interest and. 【30】______ to everyone. This may be so. 【31】______ Englishmen 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】______ .

选项
A、entertained
B、relaxed
C、amused
D、enlightened
答案
B
解析
考查形容词辨义与上下文理解。由空格后面的only与people he knows well可知填入的词应当与前面的quiet, shy, reserved三个词的意义在整体上对立,所以选relaxed(放松的)。其余三项:entertained娱乐的;amused被逗乐了的;enlightened开明的。它们都属于动词过去分词转为形容词,都不合题意。
