Generally speaking, a British is widely regarded as a quiet, shy and conservative person who is【C1】______only among those with whom he is acquainted. 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 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】______.

Very often conversational greetings are【C16】______by comments on the weather. "Nice day, isn’t it?" "Beautiful day I" 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.
【C8】

C、from his heart
D、by all means
答案
A
解析
A项意为“最后;终于;充分地;详细地”,B项意为“在很大程度上”,C项意为“从内心”,D项意为“无论如何”。依题意,“英国人特别喜欢谈论天气”,所以,“一有机会,他就会详尽地谈下去”。其他短语都在句意上无法搭配。
