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 " broader" than【C9】______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】______Northerners generally have hearty【C13】______: the visitor to Lancashire or Yorkshire, for instance, may look forward to receiving【C14】______helpings at meal times.
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.

【C14】
选项
A、genuine
B、generous
C、general
D、sincere
答案
B
解析
结合上文中的hearty appetites(好胃口)和helpings可知,此句意应为“到兰开郡或约克郡的参观者在吃饭时有望得到丰盛的饭菜”。A项genuine意为“真的,真诚的”,和D项sincere意为“真实的,诚挚的”,一般都是修饰人,此处修饰helpings不合适;C项general意为“一般的,大致的”,不符合句意;B项generous意为“慷慨的,丰富的”,符合句意,因此选B。
