Many people who have not visited Britain call all the inhabitants English, for they are used to thinking of the British Isles as England.【71】, the British Isles contain a variety of peoples, and only the people of England call themselves English. The others【72】to themselves as Welsh, Scottish, or Irish,【73】the case may be; they are often slightly annoyed【74】being classified as "English".
Even in England there are many【75】in regional character and speech. The chief【76】is between southern England and northern England. South of a【77】going from Bristol to London, people speak the type of English usually learnt by international students,【78】there are local variations.
Further north, regional speech is usually "【79】" than that of southern Britain. Northerners are【80】to claim that they work harder than Southerners, and are more【81】. They are openhearted and hospitable; visitors often find that they make friends with them【82】. Northerners generally have hearty【83】: the visitor to Lancashire or Yorkshire, for instance, may look forward to receiving generous【84】at meal times.
In accent and character the people of the Midlands【85】a gradual change from the southern to the northern type of Englishman.
In Scotland the sound【86】by the letter "R" is generally a strong sound, and "R" is often pronounced in words in which it would be【87】in southern English. The Scots are said to be a serious, cautious, thrifty people,【88】inventive and somewhat mystical.

选项
A、swiftly
B、promptly
C、immediately
D、quickly
答案
D
解析
近义词辨析题。四个词都表示立刻地,但着重点不同。选项D quickly意为after only a very short time,例如:I realized fairly quickly that I was wrong.文中句子着重“交朋友”,那应是短时间之后的事,故选D。选项A swiftly强调行为发生的敏捷性,例如:They swiftly denied the accusation.(他们很快否认那桩起诉)。选项B promptly和选项C immediately都含有without delay的意义,例如:I’ll deliver your purchases.我会立刻送你买的货。句意:北方人一般很亲切、好客,外国人经常发现自己能很快和他们交上朋友。
