问题    Standard English is the variety of English which is usually used in print and which is normally taught in schools and to non-native speakers leaning the language. It is also the variety which is normally【C1】______by educated people and used in news broadcasts and other【C2】______situations. The difference between standard and nonstandard, it should be noted, has【C3】______in principle to do with differences between formal and colloquial【C4】______;standard English has colloquial as well as formal variants.
【C5】______, the standard variety of English is based on the London【C6】______of English that developed after the Norman Conquest resulted in the removal of the Court from Winchester to London. This dialect became the one【C7】______by the educated, and it was developed and promoted【C8】______a model, or norm, for wider and wider segments of society. It was also the【C9】______that was carried overseas, but not one unaffected by such export. Today,【C10】______English is arranged to the extent that the grammar and vocabulary of English are【C11】______the same everywhere in the world where English is used;【C12】______among local standards is really quite minor,【C13】______the Singapore, South Africa, and Irish varieties are really very【C14】______different from one another so far as grammar and vocabulary are【C15】______. Indeed, Standard English is so powerful that it exerts a tremendous【C16】______on all local varieties, to the extent that many of long established 3infects of England have【C17】______much of their vigor(活力)and there is considerable pressure on them to be【C18】______.  This latter situation is not unique【C19】______English: it is also true in other countries where processes of standardization are【C20】______. But it sometimes creates problems for speakers who try to strike some kind of com- promise between local norms and national, even supranational(跨国的)ones.
【C2】
选项 A、same
B、similar
C、equal
D、identical
答案B
解析 此题属于语义搭配题。similar 意为“类似的，想像的，不是同一的”，例如：The two houses are very similar in appearance．原句谈及标准英语使用的情况或场合，由other 一词可知这种场合不是与news broadcasts 一样的场合，而是相似的场合，故选项[B]similar 正确。选项[A]same 意为“相同的，指同一的”，例如：The same mistake occurs three times in the paragraph．在这一段中同样的错误出现了三次。选项[C]equal 意为“(指事物在数量价值方面)相等的，平等的，胜任的”，例如：(1)We divided the cake into three equal parts． (2)He was equal to the occasion．他能应付这场面。选项[D]identical 意为“同一的，完全相同的”，例如：(1)It’s the identical coat which was stolen from me．(2)The tests are identical to those carried out last year．
