Many foreigners who have not visited Britain call all the inhabitants English, for they are used to thinking of the British Isles as England. 21 , the British Isles contain a variety of peoples, and only the people of England call themselves English. 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. The Scots are said to be a serious, cautious, thrifty people, 38 inventive and somewhat mystical. All the Celtic peoples of Britain (the Welsh, the Irish, the Scots) are frequently 39 as being more "fiery" than the English. They are 40 a race that is quite distinct from the English.
选项
A、rather
B、still
C、somehow
D、even
答案
A
解析
rather此题属于语意搭配题,考查副词含义的区别。选项[A]rather表示“有点,相当”(to amoderate extent,quite),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表示“仍然”。选项[C]somehow表示“用某种方式,总算”,如:Somehow or other I was able to work it out.选项[D]even表示“甚至”,如:It is even colder today.全句可译为: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。
