Generally speaking, a British is widely regarded as a quiet, shy and conservative person who is【1】only among those with whom he is acquainted. When a stranger is at present, he often seems nervous, even【2】. You have to take a commuter train any morning or evening to【3】the truth of this.
Serious-looking businessmen and women sit reading their newspapers or dozing in a corner; hardly anybody talks, since to do so would be considered quite【4】.
【5】, there is an unwritten but clearly understood code of behavior which, once broken, makes the offender immediately the object of【6】.
It has been known as a fact that a British has a【7】for the discussion of their weather and that, if given a chance, he will talk about it【8】.
Some people argue that it is because the British weather seldom【9】forecast and hence becomes a source of interest and【10】to everyone.
This may be so.【11】a British cannot have much【12】in the weathermen, who, after promising fine, sunny weather for the following day, are often proved wrong【13】a cloud over the Atlantic brings rainy weather to all districts!

If he wants to start a conversation with a British but is at a loss to know【19】to begin, he could do well to mention the state of the weather. It is a safe subject which will【20】an answer from even the most reserved of the British.
选项
A、impolite
B、defensive
C、deliberate
D、offensive
答案
D
解析
语义衔接题。首先要明白这句话中的do so是指talk,公共场合说话不可能被认为是[C]deliberate“深思熟虑的”,或者是[B]defensive“防御的”,只可能是[A]impolite“不礼貌的”,或者[D]offensive“令人不快的,讨厌的”。另外,impolite从语气上来说程度较轻,而且由下一段中的offender可知,[D]offensive最能衔接文意。
