Scotland provides superb opportunities to enjoy wild and grand scenery which is even more impressive than the postcards suggest．It also offers towns and cities with a rich cultural life,a good mix of accommodation and places to eat and drink．Friendly and welcoming,it is an interesting and colorful all-season destination,where landscapes and the environment,sport and leisure pursuits,heritage and history,culture and cuisine are all part of a rewarding experience. The best reason for choosing to go on holiday to Scotland is:one of the last places inside the crowded and frenetic European Union where it is possible to be alone isolated countryside．This is not to say that Scotland,like everywhere else,does not have its tourist traps,its crowded roads or its popular beauty spots．But it is relatively easy to escape from them. It would be a mistake to think that Scotland is merely an extension of England. Indeed,no attitude is capable of causing greater offence to the Scots．They successfully resisted English attempts at domination for seven hundred years,and many differences between the two countries persist.

A、feel insulted
B、are offended
C、are amused
D、feel shocked
【正确答案】：B
【题目解析】：根据文章的内容，我们可以知道作者强调了苏格兰与英格兰的不同，并指出将苏格兰与英格兰相提并论是苏格兰人所不能接受的。具体来说，文章提到“It would be a mistake to think that Scotland is merely an extension of England. Indeed, no attitude is capable of causing greater offence to the Scots.” 这表明将苏格兰视为英格兰的延伸是对苏格兰人的冒犯。 现在我们分析选项： A. feel insulted（感到被侮辱）：虽然文中提到苏格兰人可能对某些态度感到不满，但“侮辱”通常指对个人尊严的直接伤害，而文中更强调的是对苏格兰文化和历史的轻视。 B. are offended（感到被冒犯）：这与文中提到的“no attitude is capable of causing greater offence to the Scots”相符，即这种态度会让苏格兰人感到被冒犯。 C. are amused（感到好笑）：这与文意不符，文中并没有提及苏格兰人会觉得这种比较有趣或好笑。 D. feel shocked（感到震惊）：虽然苏格兰人可能对某些事情感到惊讶，但文中并没有提到他们会因为将苏格兰与英格兰相提并论而感到震惊。 因此，正确答案是B，即当你说苏格兰像英格兰时，苏格兰人会感到被冒犯。
