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、in the way
B、under way
C、out of the way
D、all the way
答案B
解析 语意搭配题。under way意为“在进行中”，例如：We have several projects under way．根据原文意思，在标准化进程实行的过程中，故选项B under way正确。选项A in the way意为“挡道的，妨碍人的”，例如： If you’re not going to help, at least don’t get in the way．选项C out of the way意为“不挡道的，得到解决的”，例如：While the fight was going on, he tried to keep out of the way．选项D all the way意为“一直地，完全地”，例如：I ran all the way to the office．句意：后者的情况不仅仅发生在英国。别的一些正在进行英语标准化的国家也存在这种情况。
