问题     Bernie Voytas, 46, had been working 28 hard and long days. That’s the way of it for a【36】during harvest time in Randolph County, Illinois.
    So he decided to take a【37】and spend a Sunday with his friend Stephen Keith at a St. Louis Rams football game. But Keith noticed something【38】: Voytas’s speech was halting and he was slurring (含糊地发……音) his words.
    Just after the game started, Voytas’s face became contorted (扭曲),【39】his right side froze. Keith found someone to help send Voytas to the hospital. Doctors stabilized him and discovered the【40】of his illness.
    Early the next morning more than 15 farmers arrived at Voytas’ s fields with their tools and trucks. They came without【41】asking them to. "This is a small community," Keith explained. "Hard to say how the news gets【42】. It just does." There were so many that Keith had to refuse some of their help.
    The neighbours harvested the corn and soybeans and planted wheat. They worked into darkness and were back at 6 a.m. After five days the job was done.
    This is a farming thing, the workers said.【43】is a sense of community when everybody is dependent upon the【44】and the soil. But it was more than that. "Bernie is always the first to help others," Keith said. "He【45】his equipment to others. He does things for people that he doesn’t have to do. It’s why we had to turn people away."
    Voytas has resumed farming — with the continued help of his friends.

选项 A、nature
B、season
C、weather
D、environment

答案C

解析 本题为句子层面的名词辨析题。根据上下文,可知Voytas病倒后人们自发地来帮助他收庄稼。从“…everybody is dependent upon the 44 and the soil.”这旬中可以看出“每个人(农民)都要依赖……与土壤。”农民依赖土壤的同时自然还要依赖节气和天气,而不是季节。A.nature表示“自然”;B.season表示“季节”;D.environment表示“环境”,均不符合题意。而C.weather表示“天气”,因此选C。
