选项
A、In consequence
B、In brief
C、In general
D、In fact
答案
D
解析
此题属于语篇连接题。选项A In consequence表示“因此”,表因果关系;选项B In brief表示“总而言之”,用于总结上文;选项C In general表示“一般说来”,用于概括叙述;选项D In fact表示“实际上”,常用于语气的转折。文章首句说:很多没有到过大不列颠的外国人把那里所有的居民统称为English,即英国人,因为他们习惯把大不列颠群岛称为英格兰。下文强调:大不列颠群岛住着各种民族,而只有居住在英格兰的人们才把自己称为English,因此两句之间是转折关系。D 是正确答案。
