The morning had been a disaster. My tooth was aching. And I'd been in an argument with a friend. Her words still hurt: “The trouble with you is that you won't put yourself in my place. Can't you see things from my point of view ” I shook my head stubbornly—and felt the ache in my tooth. I'd thought I could hold out till my dentist came back from holiday, but the pain was really unbearable. I started calling the dentists in the phone book, but no one could see me immediately. Finally, at about lunchtime, I got lucky.
“If you come by right now,” the receptionist said, “the dentist will fit you in.”
I took my purse and keys and rushed to my car. But suddenly I began to doubt about the dentist. What kind of dentist would be so eager to treat someone at such short notice Why wasn't he as busy as the others
In the dentist's office, I sat down and looked around. I saw nothing but the bare walls and I became even more worried. The assistant noticed my nervousness and placed her warm hand over my ice-cold one.
When I told her my fears, she laughed and said, “Don't worry. The dentist is very good.”
“How long do I have to wait for him ” I asked impatiently.
“Come on, he is coming. Just lie down and relax. And enjoy the artwork,” the assistant said.
“The artwork ” I was puzzled.
The chair went back. Suddenly I smiled. There was a beautiful picture, right where I could enjoy it: on the ceiling. How considerate the dentist was! At that moment, I began to understand what my friend meant by her words.
What a relief!

Almost every machine with moving parts has wheels, yet no one knows exactly when the first wheel was invented or what it was used for. We do know, however, that they existed over 5,500 years ago in ancient Asia.
The oldest known transport wheel was discovered in 2002 in Slovenia. It is over 5,100 years old. Evidence suggests that wheels for transport didn't become popular for a while, though. This could be because animals did a perfectly good job of carrying farming tools and humans around.
But it could also be because of a difficult situation. While wheels need to roll on smooth surfaces, roads with smooth surfaces weren't going to be constructed until there was plenty of demand for them. Eventually, road surfaces did become smoother, but this difficult situation appeared again a few centuries later. There had been no important changes in wheel and vehicle design before the arrival of modem road design.
In the mid-1700s, a Frenchman came up with a new design of road—a base layer (层) of large stones covered with a thin layer of smaller stones. A Scotsman improved on this design in the 1820s and a strong, lasting road surface became a reality. At around the same lime, metal hubs (the central part of a wheel) came into being, followed by the pneumatic tyre(充气轮胎) in 1846. Alloy wheels were invented in 1967, sixty years after the appearance of tarmacked roads (柏油路). As wheel design took off, vehicles got faster and faster.
（1）What might explain why transport wheels didn't become popular for some time
A．Few knew how to use transport wheels.
B．Humans carried farming tools just as well.
C．Animals were a good means of transport.
D．The existence of transport wheels was not known.
（2）What do we know about road design from the passage
A．It was easier than wheel design.
B．It improved after big changes in vehicle design.
C．It was promoted by fast-moving vehicles.
D．It provided conditions for wheel design to develop.
（3）How is the last paragraph mainly developed
A．By giving examples. B．By making comparisons.
C．By following time order. D．By making classifications.
（4）What is the passage mainly about
A．The beginning of road design.
B．The development of transport wheels.
C．The history of public transport.
D．The invention of fast-moving vehicles.

Not all bodies of water are so evidently alive as the Atlantic Ocean, an S-shaped body of water covering 33 million square miles. The Atlantic has, in a sense, replaced the Mediterranean as the inland sea of Western civilization. Unlike real inland seas, which seem strangely still, the Atlantic is rich in oceanic liveliness. It is perhaps not surprising that its vitality has been much written about by ancient poets.
“Storm at Sea”, a short poem written around 700, is generally regarded as one of mankind's earliest artistic representations of the Atlantic.
When the wind is from the west
All the waves that cannot rest
To the east must thunder on
Where the bright tree of the sun
Is rooted in the ocean's breast.
As the poem suggests, the Atlantic is never dead and dull. It is an ocean that moves, impressively and endlessly. It makes all kinds of noise—it is forever thundering, boiling, crashing, and whistling.
It is easy to imagine the Atlantic trying to draw breath—perhaps not so noticeably out in mid-ocean, but where it meets land, its waters bathing up and down a sandy beach. It mimics(模仿) nearly perfectly the steady breathing of a living creature. It is filled with symbiotic existences, too: unimaginable quantities of creatures, little and large alike, mix within its depths in a kind of oceanic harmony, giving to the waters a feeling of heartbeat, a kind of sub-ocean vitality. And it has a psychology. It has personalities: sometimes peaceful and pleasant, on rare occasions rough and wild; always it is strong and striking.
（1）Unlike real inland seas, the Atlantic Ocean is______.
A．always energetic B．lacking in liveliness
C．shaped like a square D．favored by ancient poets
（2）What is the purpose of using the poem “Storm at Sea” in the passage
A．To describe the movement of the waves.
B．To show the strength of the storm.
C．To represent the power of the ocean.
D．To prove the vastness of the sea.
（3）What does the underlined word “symbiotic” mean
A．Living together. B．Growing fast.
C．Moving harmoniously. D．Breathing peacefully.
（4）In the last paragraph, the Atlantic is compared to______.
A．a beautiful and poetic place B．a flesh and blood person
C．a wonderful world D．a lovely animal

It is widely known that any English conversation begins with The Weather. Such a fixation with the weather finds expression in Dr. Johnson's famous comment that “When two English meet, their first talk is of weather.” Though Johnson's observation is as accurate now as it was over two hundred years ago, most commentators fail to come up with a convincing explanation for this English weather-speak.
Bill Bryson, for example, concludes that, as the English weather is not at all exciting, the obsession with it can hardly be understood. He argues that “To an outsider, the most striking thing about the English weather is that there is not very much of it.” Simply, the reason is that the unusual and unpredictable weather is almost unknown in the British Isles.
Jeremy Paxman, however, disagrees with Bryson, arguing that the English weather is by nature attractive. Bryson is wrong, he says, because the English preference for the weather has nothing to do with the natural phenomena. “The interest is less in the phenomena themselves, but in uncertainty.” According to him, the weather in England is very changeable and uncertain and it attracts the English as well as the outsider.
Bryson and Paxman stand for common misconceptions about the weather-speak among the English. Both commentators, somehow, are missing the point. The English weather conversation is not really about the weather at all. English weather-speak is a system of signs, which is developed to help the speakers overcome the natural reserve and actually talk to each other. Everyone knows conversations starting with weather-speak are not requests for weather data. Rather, they are routine greetings, conversation starters or the blank “fillers”. In other words, English weather-speak is a means of social bonding.
（1）The author mentions Dr. Johnson's comment to show that______.
A．most commentators agree with Dr. Johnson
B．Dr. Johnson is famous for his weather observation
C．the comment was accurate two hundred years ago
D．English conversations usually start with the weather
（2）What does the underlined word “obsession” most probably refer to
A．A social trend. B．An emotional state.
C．A historical concept. D．An unknown phenomenon.
（3）According to the passage, Jeremy Paxman believes that______.
A．Bill Bryson has little knowledge of the weather
B．there is nothing special about the English weather
C．the English weather attracts people to the British Isles
D．English people talk about the weather for its uncertainty
（4）What is the author's purpose of writing the passage
A．To explain what English weather-speak is about.
B．To analyse misconceptions about the English weather.
C．To find fault with both Bill Bryson and Jeremy Paxman.
D．To convince people that the English weather is changeable.

【知识点】人物故事类；记叙文
【解析】【分析】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了在一个暴风雨的下午，一个叫乔的小男孩在数学课上的出色表现让自己发生了改变。
（1）考查形容词。根据上文“all signs pointed to success, ”和yet可知情况发生了变化，不是朝向成功的方向，而是令人失望，所以选择C。
（2）考查名词。因为情况是令人失望的，可知Joe的成绩在班里是排在最后，所以答案选择bottom。 at the bottom of“在…底部”。故选D。
（3）考查动词。根据“Joe struggled day and night”说明他很努力，后面的but提示虽然努力了，但是没有见效，所以答案为B。
（4）考查连词。本句中表达的是在数学老师解释概念的时候发生的事情，所以用as引导时间状语从句，所以选择as。D合语境。
（5）考查动词。根据“the thunder won the battle for their attention”可知雷声吸引了学生的注意力，也就是学生们不能集中注意 ，所以答案选择A。
（6）考查动词。上句中说到学生不能把注意力集中在老师讲的内容上，所以没有人能够掌握那些概念。challenged“挑战”; grasped “掌握”；doubted “怀疑”；admitted “承认”。根据上下文推断，答案为B。
（7）考查动词。上句中提到只有Joe能正确回答这些问题，所以老师拍拍他的背，让他向同学解释他是怎样做到的。本句中说的是Joe受到鼓励，在教室里来回穿梭。由此确定答案为C。
（8）考查名词。根据下文中的“all children drew pictures”可知数学课之后是美术课。所以答案为C。
（9）考查形容词。根据下文中的“the picture of a bright yellow sun，”以及“except for Joe”可知别的孩子画的都是暗淡颜色的画，只有Joe的画是明亮的。所以答案为B。
（10）考查动词。本文在讲述Joe的转变过程。前面提到的是Joe 的成绩是disappointing，而这里在讲Joe开始转变，开始提高，所以选择A。
（11）考查形容词。根据空后的连词and和curious, 根据and可知要填空的词和后面的curious同义概念的词，所以选择amazed，意为“又吃惊又好奇”，所以选择B。
（12）考查形容词。这幅充满金色阳光的画，对于Joe 来讲是十分珍贵的，因为它改变了Joe的学习轨迹。所以答案为D。
（13）考查动词短语。上文中已经谈到这幅画是Joe的珍藏，那么可知在图画上他所写的字是：这是我见到光明的日子。wake up to“ 意识到”；put up with“ 忍受”；get on with“ 和…...友好相处”；look down upon“ 看不起”。鉴于此，答案为A。
【点评】本题考点涉及形容词、名词、动词、连词以及动词短语等多个知识点的考查，综合性强。要求考生在理解细节信息的基础上，通过上下爱问的逻辑关系，进一步进行分析推理，选出正确答案。
17．【答案】（1）C；（2）D；（3）A；（4）C；（5）B；（6）A；（7）D

（2）考查名词。根据下文“like a new personal running record or a better body shape”可知这里是通过锻炼来改善情绪，由此推知本空D项正确。（3）考查形容词。本句中后面的内容有两个1)一个个人跑步记录 2) 更好的体型。也就是进行锻炼要有明确的“clear”目标，另外，下句的particular goal“特定的目标”也在提示这层意思，由此推断A为正确选项。
（4）考查名词。“锻炼强身”这是人人都知道的事实，身体好了，信心就会得到增强。同时，本句中的“a particular goal makes you feel good”也可以印证常识的正确性，所以本题答案为C。
（5）考查固定搭配。build up“建立；增强”；tear down “拆毁”； set aside “把…...放在一边”；give out “释放”。build up one's self-respect “增强个人的自尊心”，所以答案为B。
（6）考查副词。句意：你不用太拼命的锻炼来感受运动带来的对身体的好处。根据下文中的“intensity of your exercise ”锻炼的强度，可知答案为A。train hard “拼命锻炼”。A合语境。
（7）考查名词。句意：关键是锻炼的频率而不是锻炼的强度。下文中的“30 minutes five times per week ”所表达的是动作发生的频率。time "时间"；length" 长度"；form" 形式"；frequency" 频率"。
【点评】本题考点涉及形容词、名词、动词短语以及副词等知识点的考查，综合性强。要求考生在理解细节信息的基础上，通过上下爱问的逻辑关系，进一步进行分析推理，选出正确答案。

【知识点】人物故事类；记叙文
【解析】【分析】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了在一个暴风雨的下午，一个叫乔的小男孩在数学课上的出色表现让自己发生了改变。
（1）考查形容词。根据上文“all signs pointed to success, ”和yet可知情况发生了变化，不是朝向成功的方向，而是令人失望，所以选择C。
（2）考查名词。因为情况是令人失望的，可知Joe的成绩在班里是排在最后，所以答案选择bottom。 at the bottom of“在…底部”。故选D。
（3）考查动词。根据“Joe struggled day and night”说明他很努力，后面的but提示虽然努力了，但是没有见效，所以答案为B。
（4）考查连词。本句中表达的是在数学老师解释概念的时候发生的事情，所以用as引导时间状语从句，所以选择as。D合语境。
（5）考查动词。根据“the thunder won the battle for their attention”可知雷声吸引了学生的注意力，也就是学生们不能集中注意 ，所以答案选择A。
（6）考查动词。上句中说到学生不能把注意力集中在老师讲的内容上，所以没有人能够掌握那些概念。challenged“挑战”; grasped “掌握”；doubted “怀疑”；admitted “承认”。根据上下文推断，答案为B。
（7）考查动词。上句中提到只有Joe能正确回答这些问题，所以老师拍拍他的背，让他向同学解释他是怎样做到的。本句中说的是Joe受到鼓励，在教室里来回穿梭。由此确定答案为C。
（8）考查名词。根据下文中的“all children drew pictures”可知数学课之后是美术课。所以答案为C。
（9）考查形容词。根据下文中的“the picture of a bright yellow sun，”以及“except for Joe”可知别的孩子画的都是暗淡颜色的画，只有Joe的画是明亮的。所以答案为B。
（10）考查动词。本文在讲述Joe的转变过程。前面提到的是Joe 的成绩是disappointing，而这里在讲Joe开始转变，开始提高，所以选择A。
（11）考查形容词。根据空后的连词and和curious, 根据and可知要填空的词和后面的curious同义概念的词，所以选择amazed，意为“又吃惊又好奇”，所以选择B。
（12）考查形容词。这幅充满金色阳光的画，对于Joe 来讲是十分珍贵的，因为它改变了Joe的学习轨迹。所以答案为D。
（13）考查动词短语。上文中已经谈到这幅画是Joe的珍藏，那么可知在图画上他所写的字是：这是我见到光明的日子。wake up to“ 意识到”；put up with“ 忍受”；get on with“ 和…...友好相处”；look down upon“ 看不起”。鉴于此，答案为A。
【点评】本题考点涉及形容词、名词、动词、连词以及动词短语等多个知识点的考查，综合性强。要求考生在理解细节信息的基础上，通过上下爱问的逻辑关系，进一步进行分析推理，选出正确答案。

（1）考查形容词。根据下文“find yourself balming work pressures or an unknown future”可知这里人的情感为unhappy, 表示不快乐，不高兴的心理，所以选择unhappy。C合语境。
（2）考查名词。根据下文“like a new personal running record or a better body shape”可知这里是通过锻炼来改善情绪，由此推知本空D项正确。（3）考查形容词。本句中后面的内容有两个1)一个个人跑步记录 2) 更好的体型。也就是进行锻炼要有明确的“clear”目标，另外，下句的particular goal“特定的目标”也在提示这层意思，由此推断A为正确选项。
（4）考查名词。“锻炼强身”这是人人都知道的事实，身体好了，信心就会得到增强。同时，本句中的“a particular goal makes you feel good”也可以印证常识的正确性，所以本题答案为C。
（5）考查固定搭配。build up“建立；增强”；tear down “拆毁”； set aside “把…...放在一边”；give out “释放”。build up one's self-respect “增强个人的自尊心”，所以答案为B。
（6）考查副词。句意：你不用太拼命的锻炼来感受运动带来的对身体的好处。根据下文中的“intensity of your exercise ”锻炼的强度，可知答案为A。train hard “拼命锻炼”。A合语境。
（7）考查名词。句意：关键是锻炼的频率而不是锻炼的强度。下文中的“30 minutes five times per week ”所表达的是动作发生的频率。time "时间"；length" 长度"；form" 形式"；frequency" 频率"。
【点评】本题考点涉及形容词、名词、动词短语以及副词等知识点的考查，综合性强。要求考生在理解细节信息的基础上，通过上下爱问的逻辑关系，进一步进行分析推理，选出正确答案。

The morning had been a disaster. My tooth was aching. And I'd been in an argument with a friend. Her words still hurt: “The trouble with you is that you won't put yourself in my place. Can't you see things from my point of view ” I shook my head stubbornly—and felt the ache in my tooth. I'd thought I could hold out till my dentist came back from holiday, but the pain was really unbearable. I started calling the dentists in the phone book, but no one could see me immediately. Finally, at about lunchtime, I got lucky.
“If you come by right now,” the receptionist said, “the dentist will fit you in.”
I took my purse and keys and rushed to my car. But suddenly I began to doubt about the dentist. What kind of dentist would be so eager to treat someone at such short notice Why wasn't he as busy as the others
In the dentist's office, I sat down and looked around. I saw nothing but the bare walls and I became even more worried. The assistant noticed my nervousness and placed her warm hand over my ice-cold one.
When I told her my fears, she laughed and said, “Don't worry. The dentist is very good.”
“How long do I have to wait for him ” I asked impatiently.
“Come on, he is coming. Just lie down and relax. And enjoy the artwork,” the assistant said.
“The artwork ” I was puzzled.
The chair went back. Suddenly I smiled. There was a beautiful picture, right where I could enjoy it: on the ceiling. How considerate the dentist was! At that moment, I began to understand what my friend meant by her words.
What a relief!

20．（2013·重庆）阅读理解
Almost every machine with moving parts has wheels, yet no one knows exactly when the first wheel was invented or what it was used for. We do know, however, that they existed over 5,500 years ago in ancient Asia.
The oldest known transport wheel was discovered in 2002 in Slovenia. It is over 5,100 years old. Evidence suggests that wheels for transport didn't become popular for a while, though. This could be because animals did a perfectly good job of carrying farming tools and humans around.
But it could also be because of a difficult situation. While wheels need to roll on smooth surfaces, roads with smooth surfaces weren't going to be constructed until there was plenty of demand for them. Eventually, road surfaces did become smoother, but this difficult situation appeared again a few centuries later. There had been no important changes in wheel and vehicle design before the arrival of modem road design.
In the mid-1700s, a Frenchman came up with a new design of road—a base layer (层) of large stones covered with a thin layer of smaller stones. A Scotsman improved on this design in the 1820s and a strong, lasting road surface became a reality. At around the same lime, metal hubs (the central part of a wheel) came into being, followed by the pneumatic tyre(充气轮胎) in 1846. Alloy wheels were invented in 1967, sixty years after the appearance of tarmacked roads (柏油路). As wheel design took off, vehicles got faster and faster.
（1）What might explain why transport wheels didn't become popular for some time
A．Few knew how to use transport wheels.
B．Humans carried farming tools just as well.
C．Animals were a good means of transport.
D．The existence of transport wheels was not known.
（2）What do we know about road design from the passage
A．It was easier than wheel design.
B．It improved after big changes in vehicle design.
C．It was promoted by fast-moving vehicles.
D．It provided conditions for wheel design to develop.
（3）How is the last paragraph mainly developed
A．By giving examples. B．By making comparisons.
C．By following time order. D．By making classifications.
（4）What is the passage mainly about
A．The beginning of road design.
B．The development of transport wheels.
C．The history of public transport.
D．The invention of fast-moving vehicles.

【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了车轮的发展历程以及道路设计对车轮发展的影响。
（1）考查推理判断。根据第二段中的”This could be because animals did a perfectly good job of carrying farming tools and humans around.”这或许是因为动物在拉运农具人们的方面做得不错。可知由于当时动物使用的方便让轮子没能够普及。
（2）考查推理判断。根据第三段 中的“There had been no important changes in wheel and vehicle design before the arrival of modem road design.”在现代道路设计之前，轮子和交通工具的设计都没有重大变化。第四段接着讲述了随着道路设计的进步，各种新型的轮子(包括充气轮胎)随之发展，而且也促进了车辆的发展。由此可知，道路设计的发展促进了车轮的发展。
（3）考查推理判断。根据第四段时间数字，In the mid-1700s、in the 1820s、in 1846、in 1967，只有C项符合。
（4）考查主旨大意。全文讲述了车轮的发展历程以及道路设计对车轮发展的影响，故选C项。

21．（2013·重庆）阅读理解
Not all bodies of water are so evidently alive as the Atlantic Ocean, an S-shaped body of water covering 33 million square miles. The Atlantic has, in a sense, replaced the Mediterranean as the inland sea of Western civilization. Unlike real inland seas, which seem strangely still, the Atlantic is rich in oceanic liveliness. It is perhaps not surprising that its vitality has been much written about by ancient poets.
“Storm at Sea”, a short poem written around 700, is generally regarded as one of mankind's earliest artistic representations of the Atlantic.
When the wind is from the west
All the waves that cannot rest
To the east must thunder on
Where the bright tree of the sun
Is rooted in the ocean's breast.
As the poem suggests, the Atlantic is never dead and dull. It is an ocean that moves, impressively and endlessly. It makes all kinds of noise—it is forever thundering, boiling, crashing, and whistling.
It is easy to imagine the Atlantic trying to draw breath—perhaps not so noticeably out in mid-ocean, but where it meets land, its waters bathing up and down a sandy beach. It mimics(模仿) nearly perfectly the steady breathing of a living creature. It is filled with symbiotic existences, too: unimaginable quantities of creatures, little and large alike, mix within its depths in a kind of oceanic harmony, giving to the waters a feeling of heartbeat, a kind of sub-ocean vitality. And it has a psychology. It has personalities: sometimes peaceful and pleasant, on rare occasions rough and wild; always it is strong and striking.
（1）Unlike real inland seas, the Atlantic Ocean is______.
A．always energetic B．lacking in liveliness
C．shaped like a square D．favored by ancient poets
（2）What is the purpose of using the poem “Storm at Sea” in the passage
A．To describe the movement of the waves.
B．To show the strength of the storm.
C．To represent the power of the ocean.
D．To prove the vastness of the sea.
（3）What does the underlined word “symbiotic” mean
A．Living together. B．Growing fast.
C．Moving harmoniously. D．Breathing peacefully.
（4）In the last paragraph, the Atlantic is compared to______.
A．a beautiful and poetic place B．a flesh and blood person
C．a wonderful world D．a lovely animal
【答案】（1）A
（2）C
（3）A

（2）考查推理判断。根据第一段中的”It is perhaps not surprising that its vitality has been much written about by ancient poets.“早在很就以前，大西洋的生命力就在古诗词中被大量的歌颂，或许这一点也不让人惊讶。这一句话起着承上启下的作用，第2段接着引用了700多年前的一首小诗。故选C项。
（3）考查词义猜测。根据第四段中的”It is filled with symbiotic existences, too: unimaginable quantities of creatures, little and large alike, mix within its depths in a kind of oceanic harmony,….“根据冒号后面的解释，应该是“一起生存的”，只有A项符合。

22．（2013·重庆）阅读理解
It is widely known that any English conversation begins with The Weather. Such a fixation with the weather finds expression in Dr. Johnson's famous comment that “When two English meet, their first talk is of weather.” Though Johnson's observation is as accurate now as it was over two hundred years ago, most commentators fail to come up with a convincing explanation for this English weather-speak.
Bill Bryson, for example, concludes that, as the English weather is not at all exciting, the obsession with it can hardly be understood. He argues that “To an outsider, the most striking thing about the English weather is that there is not very much of it.” Simply, the reason is that the unusual and unpredictable weather is almost unknown in the British Isles.
Jeremy Paxman, however, disagrees with Bryson, arguing that the English weather is by nature attractive. Bryson is wrong, he says, because the English preference for the weather has nothing to do with the natural phenomena. “The interest is less in the phenomena themselves, but in uncertainty.” According to him, the weather in England is very changeable and uncertain and it attracts the English as well as the outsider.
Bryson and Paxman stand for common misconceptions about the weather-speak among the English. Both commentators, somehow, are missing the point. The English weather conversation is not really about the weather at all. English weather-speak is a system of signs, which is developed to help the speakers overcome the natural reserve and actually talk to each other. Everyone knows conversations starting with weather-speak are not requests for weather data. Rather, they are routine greetings, conversation starters or the blank “fillers”. In other words, English weather-speak is a means of social bonding.
（1）The author mentions Dr. Johnson's comment to show that______.
A．most commentators agree with Dr. Johnson
B．Dr. Johnson is famous for his weather observation
C．the comment was accurate two hundred years ago
D．English conversations usually start with the weather
（2）What does the underlined word “obsession” most probably refer to
A．A social trend. B．An emotional state.
C．A historical concept. D．An unknown phenomenon.
（3）According to the passage, Jeremy Paxman believes that______.
A．Bill Bryson has little knowledge of the weather
B．there is nothing special about the English weather
C．the English weather attracts people to the British Isles
D．English people talk about the weather for its uncertainty
（4）What is the author's purpose of writing the passage
A．To explain what English weather-speak is about.
B．To analyse misconceptions about the English weather.
C．To find fault with both Bill Bryson and Jeremy Paxman.
D．To convince people that the English weather is changeable.

（1）考查推理判断。根据第一段中的”It is widely known that any English conversation begins with The Weather.“众所周知，任何英语交流都是以天气开头。紧接着就举例说明。故选D项。
（2）考查词义猜测。根据第二段中的”Bill Bryson, for example, concludes that, as the English weather is not at all exciting, the obsession with it can hardly be understood.“例如，Bill Bryson认为由于英国的天气让人郁闷，这种激动的状态就很难让人理解。可知选B。
（3）考查推理判断。根据第三段中的“The interest is less in the phenomena themselves, but in uncertainty.” According to him, the weather in England is very changeable and uncertain and it attracts the English as well as the outsider.。可知Jeremy Paxman的观点是英国人喜欢谈论天气的原因是由于英国天气的多变和不确定。故C项符合。
（4）考查写作意图。全文从英国人见面招呼最喜欢问天气引入中心，为什么英国人那么喜欢以天气为谈论话题，通过两个常见的错误观点的介绍，继而深层分析其文化根源——日常问候的方式，一种社会纽带。故选A项。
