ItiswidelyknownthatanyEnglishconversationbeginswithTheWeather.SuchafixationwiththeweatherfindsexpressioninDr.Johnson'sfamouscommentthat“WhentwoEnglishmeet,theirfirsttalkisofweather.”ThoughJohnson'sobservationisasaccuratenowasitwasovertwohundredyearsago,mostcommentatorsfailtocomeupwithaconvincingexplanationforthisEnglishweather－speak.

【要点综述】本文通过对BillBryson和JeremyPaxman两人迥然不同的观点的陈述来阐明作者对英国人以天气为寒暄内容的见解。

72．D　逻辑推断题。

通过引用名人名言来说明英国人以天气为寒暄内容的现象很普遍。

73．B　词义推断题。

BillBryson认为英国天气单一（th

ereisnotverymuchofit）不足以引起人们的情感响应，因此该词此处指的是“情感状态”。

74．D　细节理解题。

倒数第二段中有“Theinterestislessinthephenomenathemselves,butinuncertainty.”（意思是：

人们对英国气候的关注点不是气候本身，而是气候的不确定性。

）由此可知答案。

75．A　写作目的题。

通过对BillBryson和JeremyPaxman两人迥然不同的观点的陈述来阐明作者对英国人以天气为寒暄内容的见解。

【要点综述】这是一份调查报告，是针对美国老年人的健康习惯所做的调查。

56．D　细节理解题。

根据第一项调查中“Afull33%ofseniorsbrushtheirteethonlyonceaday.”可知，大约有三分之一的美国老年人一天只刷一次牙。

57．D　细节理解题。

根据第二项调查中“…4timesaday—halfofthenumberdoctorsrecommend”可知，四次是医生建议次数的一半，也就是说，医生建议老年人每天洗八次手，故选D。

58．C　细节理解题。

根据文章倒数第二句“Doyouknowitisnotyourtoiletbutyourkitchenspongethatcancarrymoregermsthananythingelse？

”可知，厨房里的海绵比卫生间带有的细菌还要多。

59．B　推理判断题。

由文章内容可知，这是一份调查报告，是针对美国老年人的健康习惯所做的调查。

这样的文章理应不会出现在“旅游指南”“书评”“官方文件”里，故排除A、C、D。

流行杂志做这样的调查报告很常见，故选B。
