Other countries have a climate; in England we have weather. This statement, often made by Englishmen to describe the strange weather conditions of their country, is both revealing and true. It is revealing, because in it we see the Englishman insisting once again that what happens in England is not the same as what happens elsewhere; its truth can be proved by any foreigner who stays in the country for longer than a few days. In England one can experience almost every kind of weather except the most extreme. The problem is that we never can be sure when the different types of weather will occur. Not only do we get several different sorts of weather in one day, but we may very well get a spell of winter in summer and a spell of summer in winter. And, of course, the weathers variety provides a constant topic of conversation. Even the most taciturn of Englishmen is always prepared to discuss the weather. And, though he sometimes complains bitterly of it, he would not, even if he could, exchange it for the more predictable climate of other lands. A other countries do not have fine weather. C the weather in England often changes and is therefore unique. 37 A special feature of the weather in England is that B it does not have four seasons as other countries do. D you may experience different types of weather in a single day. A The foreigner, slaughter. C The uncertainty about the weather. 39 Which of the following statements is NOT true of the weather in England? B It tends to make the Englishman cautious. D You may have a spell of winter in summer. A soil. C countries. 【参考答案】36. C37. D38. C39. A40. C
