答案：1~4 BCBD
解析：
【分析】
1. 第1题：题干核心是确定中国学生学英语的地点，先定位短文第一句“a Chinese student went to study English in England”，England对应的英文常用表述是the UK，据此锁定答案。
2. 第2题：题干询问出行方式，找到短文中“got to the London airport”这一关键信息，机场是乘坐飞机的抵达场所，由此判断出行方式为坐飞机。
3. 第3题：题干判断学生是否真能带来阳光，原文中警察是利用学生姓氏“Sun”和英文单词“sun（太阳）”的同音玩趣味表达，实际学生无法改变英国的天气，因此选择否定选项。
4. 第4题：题干猜测划线词含义，根据前文“England is a country with bad weather”，且“misty”与“cloudy（多云的）”“rainy（下雨的）”并列，都是描述糟糕天气的词汇，结合选项推断“misty”的意思是多雾的。
【解析】
1. 第1题：根据短文第一句“One day, a Chinese student went to study English in England.”可知，England也就是the UK（英国），故选B。
2. 第2题：由短文“When the Chinese student got to the London airport”可知，机场是乘坐飞机的到达场所，所以该学生是坐飞机前往英国的，故选C。
3. 第3题：文中警察的话语是玩笑话，借助“Sun”姓氏和“sun（太阳）”的谐音表达趣味欢迎，实际上学生不可能给英国带来阳光，故选B。
4. 第4题：根据前文“England is a country with bad weather”，且“misty”与“cloudy”“rainy”并列，均为描述恶劣天气的词汇，结合选项可知“misty”意为“多雾的”，故选D。
