Many people who have not visited Britain call all the inhabitants English, for they are used to thinking of the British Isles as England.【71】, the British Isles contain a variety of peoples, and only the people of England call themselves English. The others【72】to themselves as Welsh, Scottish, or Irish,【73】the case may be; they are often slightly annoyed【74】being classified as "English".
Even in England there are many【75】in regional character and speech. The chief【76】is between southern England and northern England. South of a【77】going from Bristol to London, people speak the type of English usually learnt by international students,【78】there are local variations.
Further north, regional speech is usually "【79】" than that of southern Britain. Northerners are【80】to claim that they work harder than Southerners, and are more【81】. They are openhearted and hospitable; visitors often find that they make friends with them【82】. Northerners generally have hearty【83】: the visitor to Lancashire or Yorkshire, for instance, may look forward to receiving generous【84】at meal times.
In accent and character the people of the Midlands【85】a gradual change from the southern to the northern type of Englishman.
In Scotland the sound【86】by the letter "R" is generally a strong sound, and "R" is often pronounced in words in which it would be【87】in southern English. The Scots are said to be a serious, cautious, thrifty people,【88】inventive and somewhat mystical. All the Celtic peoples of Britain (the Welsh, the Irish, the Scots) are frequently【89】as being more "fiery" than the English. They are【90】a race that is quite distinct from the English.
选项
A、In consequence
B、In brief
C、In general
D、In fact
答案
D
解析
语篇连接题。选项A In consequence意为“因此”,表因果关系;选项B In brief表示“总而言之”,用于总结上文;选项C In general“一般说来”,用于概括叙述;选项D In fact表示“实际上”,常用于语气的转折。文章首句说:很多没有到过大不列颠的外国人把那里所有的居民统称为English,即英国人,因为他们习惯把大不列颠群岛称为英格兰。下文强调:大不列颠群岛住着各种民族,而只有居住在英格兰的人们才把自己称为English,因此两句之间是转折关系。D是正确答案。
