It is also the variety which is normally 【21】______ by educated people and used in news broadcasts and other 【22】______ situations. The difference between standard and nonstandard, it should be noted, has 【23】______ in principle to do with differences between formal and colloquial 【24】______ ; standard English has colloquial as well as formal variants.
【25】______ , the standard variety of English is based on the London 【26】______ of English that developed after the Norman Conquest resulted in the removal of the Court from Winchester to London. This dialect became the one 【27】______ by the educated, and it was developed and promoted 【28】______ a model, or norm, for wider and wider segments of society. It was also the 【29】______ that was carried overseas, but not one unaffected by such export. Today, 【30】______ English is arranged to the extent that the grammar and vocabulary of English are 【31】______ the same everywhere in the world where English is used; 【32】______ among local standards is really quite minor, 【33】______ the Singapore, South Africa, and Irish varieties are really very 【34】______ different from one another so far as grammar and vocabulary are 【35】______ .

This latter situation ig not unique 【39】______ English: it is also true in other countries where processes of standardization are 【40】______ .

【29】
选项
A、basis
B、norm
C、rule
D、variety
答案
B
解析
此题属于语意搭配题。norm表示“标准”,例如:One child per family is becoming the norm in some countries.根据上下文,前面谈到伦敦方言已经发展成为一种标准(norm),下文提及正是这个norm漂洋过海,传到海外,因此选项B norm正确。其他选项:A basis(基础);C rule;D variety(变体),伦敦英语是英语的一种变体,但这种变体己发展成为一种标准、模式,传到海外的是这一标准。
