问题     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】______.

【C3】
选项 A、as
B、which
C、for
D、so
答案A
解析 考查逻辑关系。as作关系代词，引导非限制性定语从句，在从句中作表语，代表整个主句的意思。as the case may be可译为“事情可能就是这样”。which虽然也可以引导非限制性定语从句，但在此类带有插入句性质的定语从句中均用as，故A．as“正如”正确。for“对于”；so“因此”，均排除。
