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 "【C9】______ " than that 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】______.

    In accent and character the people of the Midlands 【C15】______a gradual change from the southern to the northern type of Englishman.
    In Scotland the sound 【C16】______by the letter "R" is generally a strong sound, and "R" is often pronounced in words in which it would be 【C17】______ in southern English. The Scots are said to be a serious, cautious, thrifty people, 【C18】______ inventive and somewhat mystical. All the Celtic peoples of Britain (the Welsh, the Irish, the Scots) are frequently【C19】______as being more "fiery" than the English. They are 【C20】______ a race that is quite distinct from the English.
【C1】
选项 A、In consequence
B、In brief
C、In general
D、In fact
答案D
解析 考查逻辑关系。前文提到了许多没去过大不列颠的外国人习惯于把大不列颠群岛认为是英格兰。后文指出大不列颠群岛上有许多民族，可见前后是转折关系，D．In fact“实际上”，常表示语气的转折，故为正确答案。In consequence“因此”；In brief“简短地；总而言之”；In general“一般来说”，均不符合题意。
