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.

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】______ .

选项
A、entertained
B、relaxed
C、amused
D、enlightened
答案
B
解析
考查形容词辨义与上下文理解。由空格后面的only与people he knows well可知填入的词应当与前面的quiet, shy, reserved三个词的意义在整体上对立,所以选relaxed(放松的)。其余三项:entertained娱乐的;amused被逗乐了的;enlightened开明的。它们都属于动词过去分词转为形容词,都不合题意。
