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、represent
B、designate
C、demonstrate
D、reckon
答案
A
解析
语意搭配题。选项A represent意为“表示,代表”,例姐:For the boy,his father represents power.选项B designate意为“标明,指明”,例如:designate the city on the map;选项C demonstrate意为“证明,演示”,例如:demonstrate how to operate the machine;选项D reckon意为“认为”,例如:We reckon him(to be) diligent.原句中提到了Midland(中部地区)与南北部之间的关系,可推断其意为:从中部地区就可看出南北英国人之间的差异,故选A。句意:在口音和特征方面米德兰地区(英格兰中部)的人代表了从南部型英格兰人到北部型英格兰人的逐渐变化。
