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 seems inhibited, 【22】______ embarrassed. You have only 【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 comer; no one speaks. In fact, to do so would seem most unusual. 【24】______ , there is here an unwritten but clearly understood code of behaviours 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】______ .
The overseas visitors may be excused for showing surprise at all the number of references 【35】______ weather that the English make to each other in the course of a single day. Very often conversational greetings are 【36】______ by comments on the weather. "Nice day, isn’t it?" "Beautiful!" may well be heard instead of "Good morning, how are you?" 【37】______ the foreigner may consider this exaggerated and comic, it is worthwhile pointing out that it could be used to his advantage. 【38】______ he wants to start a conversation with an Englishman but is 【39】______ to know where to begin, he could do well to mention the state of the weather. It is a safe subject which will 【40】______ an answer from even the most reserved of Englishmen.

选项
A、experience
B、undergo
C、travel
D、witness
答案
D
解析
本题考查词义选择与词语搭配。后面接commuter train。首先排除trayel 意为“旅行”,因为travel 后加交通工具时多用travel by sth。如 I traveled by bike。此时的“travel”为不及物动词。experience 则表达体验一种感受,如 experience happiness,不能与commuter train 搭配。undergo 意为“经历,遭受,忍受(某种磨难或痛苦)”,显然不符合题意。witness 表示目击、亲眼所见,它属于及物动词。这里之所以选witness,还可以从下文的to see 得到提示,只有亲眼所见,才能看到。
