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.

D、probable
答案

解析
apt此题属于词语搭配题。选项[B]apt:be apt to do sth.表示“倾向于,习惯于”,例如:Acareless person is apt to make mistakes.(一个粗心人往往犯错误)。因此[B]符合题意和语法。选项[A]used:be used to sth./doing sth.表示“习惯于”,例如:He has been usedto the weather here.选项[C]possible的用法是It is possible that...或It is possible forsb.to do sth.,例如:It is possible that I shall go there tomorrow.选项[D]probable用法为:Something.is probable或It is probable that...,例如:It is probable that it will rain.这三项都与原句不符,故选[B]。
