问题     When caught in pouring rain without an umbrella, most people pick up their pace. But an old tale 【T1】______that a person who runs in the rain gets wetter than one who walks. It sounds【T2】______that when someone runs up and down, the body is【T3】______to more drops of water. But several studies have put this【T4】______to the test and found it not to be true. One such test was carried out in 1987. The Italian【T5】______who did the experiment said that if the distance is short enough, running gets a person less wet than walking. But running only keeps you about 10% drier. That is to say, running isn’t【T6】______the effort and it made no difference whether a person walked or ran.
    Two American scientists did a much more careful experiment than the【T7】______one. 【T8】______They also found’that runners like to lean forward,【T9】______. However, they said running in the rain probably keeps you drier than walking. But do remember to take an umbrella with you! 【T10】______.
【T2】
选项
答案reasonable
解析 根据空格前的sounds可以推测此处应填入一个形容词构成系表结构。上文中提到，有句古话说的是，在雨里跑比走会淋得更湿。下文中又提到，人们在跑来跑去时，淋到的雨更多。这两者意思大体一致，因此，古话说得有道理。由此可以推测空格处应填入一个表示“有道理的”的形容词。结合录音可知答案为reasonable，意为“合理的”。
