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、similarities
B、differences
C、certainties
D、features
答案
B
解析
语意搭配题。本题要求注意上下文的逻辑关系,上文讲到英伦三岛有好几个民族,下文讲英格兰各地区,even表示顺接上文,语气更近一步,可见下文还要讲差异。故选项A similarities(相同性),选项C certainties(确实性)和选项D features(特征)均不符合题意,正确答案是B differences(不同)。句意:甚至在英格兰,人们的性格与方言也存在着许多区域性的不同。
