【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。

A.mostcommentatorsagreewithDrJohnson

B.DrJohnsonisfamousforhisweatherobservation

C.thecommentwasaccuratetwohundredyearsago

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。

8.Whatdoestheunderlinedword“obsession"mostprobablyrefer

to?

A.Asocialtrend.

B.Anemotionalstate.

C.Ahistoricalconcept.

D.Anunknownphenomenono

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.theEn^ishweatherattractspeopletotheBritishIsles

D.En^ishpeopletalkabouttheweatherforitsuncertainty

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.ToexplainwhatEnglishweatherospeakisabout

B.ToanalyzemisconceptionsabouttheEn^ishweather.

C.TofindfaultwithbothBillBrysonandJeremyPaxman°

案为A项。

我。
