53、own that any English conversation begins with the weather.Such a fixation with the weather finds expression in Dr.Johnsons famous comment that “When two English meet，their first talk is of weather.” Though Johnsons observation is as accurate now as it was over two hundred years ago，most commentators
54、 fail to come up with a convincing explanation for this English weatherspeak.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 th
55、ere 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 weat
56、her 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 outsiders.Bryson and Paxman stand for common misconceptions abou
57、t the weatherspeak among the English.Both commentators，somehow，are missing the point.The English weather conversation is not really about the weather at all.English weatherspeak is a system of signs，which is developed to help the speakers overcome the natural reserve and actually talk to each other.
58、Everyone knows conversations starting with weatherspeak are not requests for weather data.Rather，they are routine greetings，conversation starters or the blank “fillers”In other words，English weatherspeak is a means of social bonding.14The author mentions Dr.Johnsons comment to show that .Amost comme

60、h 2 most probably refer to?AA social trend.BAn emotional state.CA historical concept.DAn unknown phenomenon.答案B解析词义猜测题。根据第二段最后一句话“the reason is that the unusual.”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。16According to the passage，Jeremy Paxman believes that
61、.ABill Bryson has little knowledge of the weatherBthere is nothing special about the English weatherCthe English weather attracts people to the British IslesDEnglish people talk about the weather for its uncertainty答案D解析细节理解题。根据倒数第二段Jeremy所说的话可知，他反驳Bryson的观点，他认为英格兰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。17
62、What is the authors main purpose of writing the passage?ATo explain what English weatherspeak is about.BTo analyse misconceptions about the English weather.CTo find fault with both Bill Bryson and Jeremy Paxman.DTo convince people that the English weather is changeable.答案A解析写作意图题。根据第一段的介绍和最后一段的总结可知，
63、本文主要是解析英国人的weatherspeak到底是关于什么的。所以答案为A项。B、C两项陈述有误，D项“使人们信服英国的天气是多变的”不是文章的主要谈论内容。.七选五Four Ways to Be a Great RoommateHaving a roommate can be one of the best experiences in college or, easily, one of the worst. 18 Follow these tips to avoid the common mistakes that turn good roommate relationships so
