When a stranger is at present, he often seems nervous, 【C2】______ embarrassed. You have to take a commuter train any morning or evening to【C3】______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 offensive. 【C4】______, there is an unwritten but clearly understood code of behavior which, 【C5】______ broken, makes the offender immediately the object of【C6】______.
It has been known as a fact that the a British has a 【C7】______ for the discussion of their weather and that, if given a chance, he will talk about it 【C8】______. Some people argue that it is because the British weather seldom【C9】______forecast and hence becomes a source of interest and【C10】______to everyone. This may be so.【C11】______a British cannot have much【C12】______in the weathermen, who, after promising fine, sunny weather for the following day, are often proved wrong【C13】______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【C14】______.
Foreigners may be surprised at the number of references【C15】______weather that the British make to each other in the course of a single day. Very often conversational greetings are【C16】______by comments on the weather. "Nice day, isn’t it? " "Beautiful!" may well be heard instead of "Good morning, how are you?
【C17】______the foreigner may consider this exaggerated and comic, it is worthwhile pointing out that it could be used to his advantage.【C18】______he wants to start a conversation with a British but is【C19】______to know where to begin, he could do well to mention the state of the weather. It is a safe subject which will【C20】______an answer from even the most reserved of the British.

选项
A、stimulate
B、receive
C、furnish
D、provoke
答案
D
解析
考查动词辨析。空格处所在句意为:这是一个非常保险的话题,能够从即使是最为保守的英国人那里______回应。D.provoke“刺激出,激发出”,符合语境,为正确答案。receive意为“获得,接受”,虽然也符合题意,但是感情色彩不如provoke强烈。
