Question

Many people from overseas believe that it rains a lot in London, but in fact its rainfall is similar to that in other European cities. Rainfall is evenly (平均地) spread during the year, so  even in summer a visitor is likely to experience some     weather. In spring and autumn there are likely to be some heavy showers, often followed by sunshine. In winter the rain is usually lighter but may    for longer.
In the summer, if there are a few days of particularly hot weather, these are often
   by a thunderstorm. It is because the weather can change very quickly that many British people carry a(an)umbrella with them throughout the year, even when it appears to be a
   day.
The UK’s weather is strongly influenced by the sea which surrounds Britain and Ireland. The sea warms up and       more slowly than land, keeping winters relatively warm but also making the summers cooler.
You may be wise to bring      warm to wear in the evenings even during the summer months. Very hot days (over 30 C) are not common, so air conditioning is not as widespread as in warmer countries.
During the winter people will often wear several different layers (层) of clothing. This allows them to keep warm when walking outside, but to     comfortable when inside a heated building.

试题分析：短文大意：来自海外的许多人相信，在伦敦经常下雨，但事实上它的降雨量类似于其他欧洲城市。降雨均匀分布在一年内，所以即使在夏天，游客可能会经历一些潮湿的天气。在春季和秋季，可能会有一些大雨，经常伴随着阳光。冬天的雨通常较小但可能持续时间更长。英国的天气是由于围绕着英国和爱尔兰海的强烈影响。海洋升温和凉下来都比陆地更慢，让冬天相对温暖而且使夏天变凉。
小题1:考查形容词及语境理解。句意：所以即使在夏天，游客可能会经历一些潮湿的天气。 dry干燥的；wet 潮湿的；hot 热的。根据前半句Rainfall is evenly (平均地) spread during the year 可知该选B。
