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.
【S4】

选项

答案giving → given

解析 词性错误。联系上下文可知,该处意为“即使有采用单一发音的意愿,也很难实现这一点”。given作介词时意为“如果有,假设”,引出条件。因此,应将现在分词giving改为介词given。
