答案解析：  
　　51 B 这句话是说，当英国人面对什么人和外国人时，会感到压抑。根据句意，应该填B陌生人。
# e9 G7 d0 E& [. g　　52 C 逗号后面的短语和前半句的关系应该是递进的，所以选C even甚至。全句的意思是：当英国人面对陌生人和外国人时，会感到压抑，甚至尴尬。
　　53 A 空后面是but，所以这里应该填一个与but后相反意思的词，所以选A: unwritten没有写出来、没有说明。
　　54 D object of attention 注意的目标。这句话的意思是：如果这种行为准则被打破，那么，这个人就会成为别人注意的目标了。
　　55 A 这句话说得是：众所周知，英国人有谈论天气的激情。
　　56 A at length 是详尽的、详细的意思。这句话是说，英国人只要给半点机会就会详细地谈论天气。To a great extent很大程度、非常，from their heart 从心里，by all means尽一切办法，都不是很符合句意。
　　57 B to在这里的意思是对于，to everyone对于每一个人的意思。
　　58 A have a faith in 是相信、信任的意思。这句话是说：从根本上说：英国人不信任他们的天气预报员。
　　59 C 在这里when 引导时间状语从句。
　　60 C 这段主要讲的是人们对于天气预报员的不信任，所以很明显根据上下文，应该选weathermen .
, e1 n' C" W& u7 e　　61 D reference to 是一个固定搭配的词组，意思是提及、涉及。
　　62 B although 尽管，这句话说得是: 尽管外国人认为这有些夸张或滑稽。
　　63 B 这句话说的是：如果他想和一位英国人开始谈话，又不知道从哪儿开始，从上下文可以看出是开始谈话，而不是停止、中断或跳过谈话，所以选B.
　　64 A at a loss困惑，at last最后，in fact 事实上，on the occasion有时。
　　65 A 整篇文章都在讲英国人和天气的关系，所以很容易判断选A .
