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、rather
B、still
C、somehow
D、even
答案
A
解析
语意搭配题,考查副词含义的区别。选项A rather意为“有点,相当”,如:a rather cold day。下文中的 somewhat揭示我们应选一个与其意义相近的词,故A是正确答案。选项B still(仍然);选项C somehow (用某种方式,总算),如:Somehow or other I was able to work it out,选项D even(甚至),如:It is even colder today.句意:苏格兰人被认为是严肃、谨慎、俭朴的,富有创意又有点儿神秘。
