问题     Standard English is the variety of English which is usually used in print and winch is normally taught in schools and to non-native speakers leaning the language. It is also the variety which is normally【71】by educated people and used in news broadcasts and other【72】situations. The difference between standard and nonstandard, it should be noted, has【73】in principle to do with differences between formal and colloquial【74】; standard English has colloquial as well as formal variants.
    【75】, the standard variety of English is based on the London【76】of English that developed after the Norman Conquest resulted in the removal of the Court from Winchester to London. This dialect became the one【77】by the educated, and it was developed and promoted【78】a model, or norm, for wider and wider segments of society. It was also the【79】that was carried overseas, but not one unaffected by such export. Today,【80】English is arranged to the extent that the grammar and vocabulary of English are【81】the same everywhere in the world where English is used;【82】among local standards is really quite minor,【83】the Singapore, South Africa, and Irish varieties have very【84】difference from one another so far as grammar and vocabulary are【85】. Indeed, Standard English is so powerful that it exerts a tremendous【86】on all local varieties, to the extent that many long-established dialects of England have【87】much of their vigor and there is considerable pressure on them to be【88】. This latter situation is not unique【89】English: it is also true in other countries where processes of standardization are【90】. But it sometimes creates problems for speakers who try to strike some kind of compromise between local norms and national, even supranational (跨国的) ones.  

选项 A、accent
B、pronunciation
C、spelling
D、dialect

答案D

解析 语意搭配题。dialect意为“方言”,属于一种语言形式,根据下文出现this dialect一词,可知此处指伦敦方言,故选项D dialect正确。选项A accent(口音);选项B pronunciation(发音);选项C spelling(拼写),都属于语言的内容,故不符合题意。句意:就标准英语的发展来说,它是建立在伦敦方言的基础上的。诺曼底征服后,宫廷从温彻斯特搬到伦敦,伦敦方言不断发展。
