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!

It is a safe subject which will【20】an answer from even the most reserved of the British.
选项
A、Usually
B、Generally
C、Certainly
D、Fundamentally
答案
C
解析
语义衔接题。这里需要一个表示程度的副词,后面句子中的often是个很重要的提示,既然预报员经常出错,那么人们当然就不会非常信任他,所以选[C]certainly。[A]Usually“通常”,[B]Generally“通常,一般”,这两个词在语义上与原文衔接不当;[D]Fundamentally“基础地,根本地”,过于夸张。
