【解析】

試題分析：這篇短文主要講述了天氣在英國(guó)人交際和生活中的重要作用。

1.形容詞辨析。A.重要的；B.一般的，共同的；C.有趣的；D.困難的。結(jié)合語(yǔ)境可知此處指的是，在英語(yǔ)中天氣是個(gè)一般的話題。故選B。

2.聯(lián)系前文描述，可知此處指的是他們常用這些話來(lái)開(kāi)始一場(chǎng)對(duì)話。在表示開(kāi)始這一含義時(shí)，start的動(dòng)作性較強(qiáng)，而bigin更注重于狀態(tài)的開(kāi)始，結(jié)合語(yǔ)境可知選B。

3.結(jié)合語(yǔ)境可知此處指的是用這些話開(kāi)始一場(chǎng)對(duì)話。By多表示通過(guò)方式，with表示用某種工具，結(jié)合語(yǔ)境可知選C。

4.聯(lián)系下文Another man will say,可知此處指的是一個(gè)人可能說(shuō)，英語(yǔ)中一般不用people來(lái)泛指一個(gè)人，多用man泛指任何一個(gè)人，故選B。

5.英語(yǔ)賓語(yǔ)從句中一般用陳述語(yǔ)序，故選A，陰天了。

6.短語(yǔ)辨析。A.尋找；B.查閱，向上看；C.看；D.請(qǐng)求。聯(lián)系下文描述，可知此處指的是，人們常尋找他們想要的天氣，故選A。

7.聯(lián)系前文情態(tài)動(dòng)詞can，可知本句中動(dòng)詞用原形，故選C，坐。

8.動(dòng)詞辨析。A.聽(tīng)見(jiàn)；B.聽(tīng)；C.受到……的信；D.聽(tīng)。結(jié)合語(yǔ)境可知此處指的是幾乎每個(gè)人都聽(tīng)天氣預(yù)報(bào)員怎么說(shuō)。本句中強(qiáng)調(diào)的是聽(tīng)的動(dòng)作，listen是不及物動(dòng)詞，后面需搭配介詞to，故選D。

9.動(dòng)詞辨析。A.問(wèn)；B.告訴，講述；C.說(shuō)某種語(yǔ)言；D.說(shuō)。結(jié)合語(yǔ)境可知此處指的是但是他并不是總是告訴我們想要的東西。故選B。

10.根據(jù)前文頻度副詞usually通常，可知本句描述的是經(jīng)常性的動(dòng)作，故用一般現(xiàn)在時(shí)態(tài)，選B，come close to接近。

考點(diǎn)：有關(guān)天氣的議論文

點(diǎn)評(píng)：這篇短文內(nèi)容比較簡(jiǎn)單，理解不難。各小題與上下文聯(lián)系比較緊密，答題中一定要注意聯(lián)系上下文。答完后多讀幾遍，看看是否符合邏輯，適當(dāng)修改。個(gè)別小題可以當(dāng)作單獨(dú)的詞義辨析題來(lái)做，先區(qū)分詞義，結(jié)合語(yǔ)境選出最能使語(yǔ)句通順的答案。
