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! The man in the street seems to be as accurate — or as inaccurate — as the weathermen in his【14】.
Foreigners may be surprised at the number of references【15】weather that the British【16】to each other in the course of a single day. Very often conversational greetings are【17】by comments on the weather. “Nice day, isn’t it?” “Beautiful!” may well be heard instead of “Good morning, how are you?” Although the foreigner may consider this exaggerated and comic, it is【18】.pointing out that it could be used to his advantage. 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、relaxed
B、frustrated
C、amused
D、exhausted
答案
A
解析
语义衔接题。前面说英国人安静、羞涩、保守,后面定语从句说只有和认识的人在一起时他们才能感到怎么样。从语义角度首先排除[B]frustrated“灰心的”和[D]exhausted“劳累的”。[C]amused是“高兴的”,可以逆向思考一下:和认识的人在一起才高兴,那么和不认识的人在一起就不高兴,不符合常理;所以只有 [A]relaxed“放松的”正确。
