问题     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 no such a written rule, a commonly 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】________ .
    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.
【C14】
选项 A、propositions
B、predictions
C、approval
D、defiance
答案B
解析 首先需要把握本句的原文意思：The man in the street seems to be as accurate—or as inaccurate—as the weathermen in his________．(那些在街上谈论天气的人与预报员一样准确或者不准确，暗含的意思是指英国天气太多变了。)至于本填空要填入的名词是很简单的复现词，因为原文已知信息已经讲过了，weathermen的forecast(预测)是不准确的，此处要填入的名词肯定是和forecast大体同义的词，即选项B)predictions。
