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 seams inhibited. 【22】______ embarrassed. You have only to 【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 corner; no one speaks. In fact, to do so would seem most unusual. 【24】______ , there is here an unwritten but clearly understood code of behavior 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 of- ten 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 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 ad- vantage. 【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、at length
B、to a great extent
C、from their heart
D、by all means
答案
A
解析
考查固定搭配辨义与上下文理解。at length详细地;to a great extent在很大程度上;from their heart从心底里,打心眼里;by all means尽一切办法地。由句意和常识可知,英国人喜欢谈论天气,如果有机会,他们就会谈起天气来。B 、C 两项明显不对;说他们“尽一切办法地”去谈论天气显然不合常理.所以应选A ,指“详细地谈论天气”。
