ItiswidelyknownthatanyEnglishconversationbeginswiththe

weather.SuchafixationwiththeweatherHndsexpressioninDr

firsttalkisofweather.wThoughJohnson*sobservationisasaccurate

BillBryson,forexample,concludesthat,astheEnglishweather

arguesthat“Toanoutsider,themoststrikingthingabouttheEnglish

weatheristhatthereisnotverymuchofit."Simply,thereasonisthat

words,Englishweather-speakisameansofsocialbonding.

【语篇解读】本文是一篇议论文。由于英国的天气是多变的，

所以英国人谈论天气被认为是见面或者搭讪的合理开场白，本文就此

从不同的角度进行了解释。

7.TheauthormentionsDrJohnson*scommenttoshowthat

A.mostcommentatorsagreewithDrJohnson

B.DrJohnsonisfamousforhisweatherobservation

C.thecommentwasaccuratetwohundredyearsago

D.Englishconversationsusuallystartwiththeweather

解析：推理判断题。本文第一句话就给出了答案，作者提到约翰

逊博士的评论旨在说明英国人见面总是以谈论天气开始，故答案为D

项。

答案：D

8.Whatdoestheunderlinedword“obsession”mostprobably

referto?

A.Asocialtrend.

B.Anemotionalstate.

C.Ahistoricalconcept.

D.Anunknownphenomenon.

解析：词义猜测题。根据第二段最后一句话句意“……那些不常

见、难以预料的天气在不列颠群岛几乎是不被人知道的”可知，英国

的天气根本不令人兴奋，随之而来的一种情绪也是几乎不能被理解的。

obsession可以理解成是一种谈论天气的“强迫症”，故它是一种情绪的

状态，所以答案为B项。

答案：B

9.Accordingtothepassage,JeremyPaxmanbelievesthat

A.BillBrysonhaslittleknowledgeoftheweather

B.thereisnothingspecialabouttheEnglishweather

C.theEnglishweatherattractspeopletotheBritishIsles

D.Englishpeopletalkabouttheweatherforitsuncertainty

解析：细节理解题。根据倒数第二段杰里米所说的话可知，他反

驳布赖森的观点，他认为英国的天气是多变而又不确定的，这吸引着

英国人和外来者，所以答案为D项。

答案：D

10.Whatistheauthor*smainpurposeofwritingthepassage?

A.ToexplainwhatEnglishweather-speakisabout.

B.ToanalyzemisconceptionsabouttheEnglishweather.

C.TofindfaultwithbothBillBrysonandJeremyPaxman.

D.ToconvincepeoplethattheEnglishweatherischangeable.

解析：意图判断题。根据第一段的介绍和最后一段的总结可知，

本文主要是解析英国人的weather-speak到底是关于什么的。所以答案

为A项。

答案：A
