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 learning 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 dialects 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 compromise between local norms and national, even supranational(跨国的)ones.
【C12】
选项
A、variation
B、standardization
C、unification
D、transformation
答案
A
解析
此题属于语义搭配题。variation意为“变化”,如生物学中的变种,音乐上的变调。例如:(1) The same story was told,with slight variations,of many legendary heroes,(2) The variations of temperature in that district are very great.同源名词variety意为“[不可数名词]多样性; [可数名词]同类的不同品种”,例如:There are numerous varieties Of peonies(牡丹)。又如:the tremendous variety of the themes;根据上下文,前文谈到世界各地所用的语法及词汇基本相同,各地之间的差异就应该很小,此处差异即A) variation。选项B) standardization(标准化),与下文的minor搭配不当;选项C) unification意为“联合,统一”,不合题意,例如:The traffic laws of the different states need unification.选项D) transformation意为“转变”,原指形式的改变,引申为性质、特点的改变,例如:the social and political transformation of a country,用在语言学里,指句子结构的转换,与题意不符。
