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. All the Celtic peoples of Britain (the Welsh, the Irish, the Scots) are frequently【89】as being more "fiery" than the English. They are【90】a race that is quite distinct from the English.
选项
A、used
B、apt
C、possible
D、probable
答案
B
解析
此题属于词语搭配题。选项B apt:be apt to do sth.表示倾向于,习惯于,例如:A careless person is apt to make mistakes.一个粗心人往往犯错误。因此B符合题意和语法。选项A used:be used to sth./doing sth.表示习惯于,例如:He bas been used to the weather here。选项C possible的用法是It is possible that...或It is possible for sb.to do sth.,例如:It is possible that I shall go there tomorrow.选项D probable用法为:Something.is probable或It is probable that...,例如:It is probable that it will rain。这三项都与原句不符,故选B。
