Many foreigners who have not visited Britain call all the inhabitants English, for they are used to thinking of the British Isles as England.【C1】______, the British Isles contain a variety of peoples, and only the people of England call themselves English. The others【C2】______to themselves as Welsh, Scottish, or Irish,【C3】______the case may be; they are often slightly annoyed【C4】______being classified as "English".
Even in England there are many【C5】______in regional character and speech. The chief【C6】______is between southern England and northern England. South of a 【C7】______ going from Bristol to London, people speak the type of English usually learnt by foreign students, 【C8】______ there are local variations.
Further north regional speech is usually "【C9】______" than that of southern Britain. Northerners are【C10】______to claim that they work harder than Southerners, and are more【C11】______. They are open-hearted and hospitable; foreigners often find that they make friends with them【C12】______. Northerners generally have hearty【C13】______: the visitor to Lancashire or Yorkshire, for instance, may look forward to receiving generous【C14】______at meal times.
In accent and character the people of the Midlands【C15】______a gradual change from the southern to the northern type of Englishman.

The Scots are said to be a serious, cautious, thrifty people,【C18】______inventive and somewhat mystical.

【C10】
选项
A、used
B、apt
C、possible
D、probable
答案
B
解析
考查结构型词义搭配。前文提到再往北的方言通常比英国南部方言的差异“更大”。可知此段涉及南北对比,be apt to do sth.意为倾向于,习惯于,符合题意。故本题选B.apt“易于”。其他项如be used to doing sth.“习惯于”(后接名词或动名词)。sb.is possible to do sth.是错误的,应改为It is possible for sb.to do sth.。probable(很可能成为现实的)经常用于“It is probable that…”句型中或sth.is probable句型中。
