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.

选项
A、similarities
B、differences
C、certainties
D、features
答案
B
解析
differences此题属于语意搭配题。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种民族,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)。全句可译为: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。
