问题 　　Most of us have an image of a standard English in pronunciation, and
very commonly in Great Britain this is " Received Pronunciation", often
associated with the public schools and the BBC. Indeed, a pronunciation
within   this   range   has   great   prestige   throughout the world, and for
English taught as a  foreign language   it  is   usually   ideal   than   any  other【S1】________
pronunciation. At the same time, it must be remembered that, so
far as the English-speaking countries are concerned, this " Received
Pronunciation" becomes the status of a "standard" almost only in England. 【S2】________
　　Even in England it is difficult to speak about a standard in pronunciation. 【S3】 ________
For one thing, pronunciation is infinitely variable, so that even giving the【S4】________
will to adopt a single pronunciation, it would be difficult to achieve. The
word dance will be pronounced in a dozen ways even by people who do 【S5】________
　　not think of themselves as dialect speakers; there is no a sure way of any two【S6】________
people saying the same word with precisely the same sound. In this respect,
pronunciation much more closely resembles handwriting than spelling. In spelling,
there are absolute distinctions which can be learnt and imitated
　　with completely precision; one can know at once whether a word is spelt in【S7】________
a "standard" way or not. But two persons’  handwriting and pronunciation
may both be perfectly intelligent,     yet have obvious differences【S8】________
without being able to say which is "better" or more "standard". 【S9】________
　　Moreover, with the easy and quick communications of modern
times encouraging the spread of a " neutral", " normal "   pronunciation,
the accompanied sociological changes have reduced the prestige of 【S10】_______
Received Pronunciation.
【S2】
选项
答案becomes → approaches
解析 动词误用。联系上下文可知，此处是指“Received Pronunciation只有在英国才接近标准的地位”。approach意为“几乎达到(某水平或状态)，接近”。如用become则句意为“Received Pronunciation成为标准的地位”，语义不通，故将becomes改为approaches。
