选项
A、variation
B、standardization
C、unification
D、transformation
答案
A
解析
此题属于语意搭配题。variation表示"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表示"[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 tree 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variation。选项standardization(标准化),与下文的minor搭配不当;选项unification表示"联合,统一",不合题意,例如:The traffic laws of the different states need unification.选项transformation表示"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。
