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 " broader" than【C9】______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】______Northerners generally have hearty【C13】______: the visitor to Lancashire or Yorkshire, for instance, may look forward to receiving【C14】______helpings at meal times.

【C7】
选项 A、line
B、row
C、border
D、scale
答案A
解析 根据选项和going from Bristol to London推测可知，要表达的句意为“从布里斯托尔到伦敦一线以南”，显然从布里斯托尔到伦敦是两点构成的“线”。A项line意为“线，直线”符合题意；B项row意为“排”；C项border意为“边境，国界”，在一区域内的语言文化分界线不能用border。D项sere意为“尺度，规模”，不符合题意。
