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、perfect
B、notorious
C、superior
D、thorough
答案
D
解析
语意搭配题。选项D thorough表示彻底的,完全的,纯正的,可与more构成比较级,因此是正确答案。选项A perfect表示完美的,没有比较级和最高级形式;选项B notorious表示臭名昭著的,例如:a notorious thief(声名狼藉的窃贼),此选项与上下文内容相悖;选项C superior表示比…好,优越,已含有比较级含义,但不能与more连用,通常用法是A is superior to B,例如:This TV set is superior to that one in quality.这台电视机比那台的质量要好。句意:北部人往往声称他们比南部人更勤奋,因而是更纯粹的英国人。
