Many foreigners who have not visited Britain call all the inhabitants English, for they are used to thinking of the British Isles as England. 21 , the British Isles contain a variety of peoples, and only the people of England call themselves English. The others 22 to themselves as Welsh, Scottish, or Irish, 23 the case may be; they are often slightly annoyed 24 being classified as "English".
Even in England there are many 25 in regional character and speech. The chief 26 is between southern England and northern England. South of a 27 going from Bristol to London, people speak the type of English usually learnt by foreign students, 28 there are local variations.
Further north, regional speech is usually " 29 " than that of southern Britain. Northerners are 30 to claim that they work harder than Southerners, and are more 31 . They are openhearted and hospitable; foreigners often find that they make friends with them 32 Northerners generally have hearty 33 : the visitor to Lancashire or Yorkshire, for instance, may look forward to receiving generous 34 at meal times.
In accent and character the people of the Midlands 35 a gradual change from the southern to the northern type of Englishman.
In Scotland the sound 36 by the letter "R" is generally a strong sound, and "R" is often pronounced in words in which it would be 37 in southern English.

选项
A、In consequence
B、In brief
C、In general
D、In fact
答案
D
解析
In fact此题属于语篇连接题。选项[A]In consequence表示“因此”,表因果关系;选项[B]Inbrief表示“总而言之”,用于总结上文;选项[C]In general表示“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。
