Are the British people Europeans? This may seem a strange question to Africans and Asians, who tend to think of all white men as Europeans. But the British, when they are in Britain, do not regard themselves as Europeans. The Europeans, to them, are those rather excitable foreigners from the other side of the English Channel, who have never learnt how to speak English. Europe is "the Continent"; a place full of interest for Britain tourists, but also the source of almost all the wars in which Britain has ever been involved. Thus, although geographically speaking Britain is a part of Europe, yet the fact that it is a separate island has made its people feel very, very insular. They feel, and in many ways are, different from the rest of Europe, and they sometimes annoy continental nations by failing to support them, or even to understand them, in time of need.
Where did the British people come from? This is an extraordinary interesting question, since they are a mixture of many different races, and all these races invaded Britain before at various times from Europe. Nobody knows very much about Britain before the Romans came during the first century B. C., but there had been at least three invasions before that. The first of these was by a dark-haired Mediterranean race called the Iberians. The other two were by Celtic tribes: first the Baels, whose descendants are the modern Scots and Irish, some of whom still speak the Gaelic language; and secondly the Britons, who gave their name to the whole island of Britain. These were the people whom the Romans conquered. The Romans gave the Britain in very large numbers, so the British race survived until the overthrow of the Roman Empire by the "barbarians", i. e., the numerous Germanic tribes that overran the whole of Western Europe. [br] It can be inferred from the passage that ______.
选项
A、Britain is a place full of interest for those excitable foreigners
B、Britain is the source of almost all the wars in Europe
C、those races who invaded British came from the other side of the English Channel
D、the British race could survive until the overthrow of the Roman Empire because Britain was very strong
答案
C
解析
本题是推断题。文章主要分析的是英国人的起源。在第二段中,有这样一句:“they are a mixture of many different races,and all these races invaded Britain before at various times from Europe”,从这句话可以推断出入侵英国的种族来自于欧洲大陆,也就是C)中的the other side of the English Channel,而其他三个选项明显不符合原文。
