A
In England, people often talk about the weather because they can experience (經(jīng)歷) four seasons in one day. In the morning the weather is warm just like in spring. An hour later black clouds come and then it rains hard. The weather gets a little cold. In the late afternoon the sky will be sunny, the sun will begin to shine, and it will be summer at this time of a day.
In England, people can also have summer in winter, or have winter in summer. So in winter they can swim sometimes, and in summer sometimes they should take warm clothes.
When you go to England, you will see that some English people usually take an umbrella (傘) or a raincoat with them in the sunny morning, but you should not laugh at them.
If you don’t take an umbrella or a raincoat, you will regret (后悔) later in the day.

【2題詳解】
句意猜測題。根據(jù)第二段關(guān)鍵句“So in winter they can swim sometimes”（所以在冬天他們有時(shí)會(huì)游泳）可知，由于英國天氣的多變，冬天有時(shí)候很溫暖，人們可以游泳，“People can also have summer in winter.”的字面意思是“人們也可以在冬天過夏天。” 再結(jié)合選項(xiàng)可知，這意味著“冬天有時(shí)太暖和了。”所以人們才可以游泳，“warm”意為“溫暖的”，符合語境。故選A項(xiàng)。
