问题      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  【21】______   by educated people and used in news broadcasts and other  【22】______   situations. The difference between standard and nonstandard, it should be noted, has  【23】______   in principle to do with differences between formal and colloquial  【24】______   ; standard English has colloquial as well as formal variants.
     【25】______   , the standard variety of English is based on the London  【26】______   of English that developed after the Norman Conquest resulted in the removal of the Court from Winchester to London. This dialect became the one  【27】______   by the educated, and it was developed and promoted  【28】______   a model, or norm, for wider and wider segments of society. It was also the  【29】______   that was carried overseas, but not one unaffected by such export. Today,  【30】______   English is arranged to the extent that the grammar and vocabulary of English are  【31】______   the same everywhere in the world where English is used;  【32】______   among local standards is really quite minor,  【33】______   the Singapore, South Africa, and Irish varieties are really very  【34】______   different from one another so far as grammar and vocabulary are  【35】______   . Indeed, Standard English is so powerful that it exerts a tremendous  【36】______   on all local varieties, to the extent that many of long-established dialects of England have  【37】______   much of their vigor and there is considerable pressure on them to be  【38】______   . This  【39】______   situation is not unique to English: it is also true in other countries where processes of standardization are  【40】______   . But it sometimes creates problems for speakers who try to strike some kind of compromise between local norms and national, even supernational ones.  
【31】
选项 A、not
B、very
C、much
D、hardly
答案C
解析 考查副词与上下文理解。由后文中描述标准英语的形容词powerful及常识可知这里作者表达的应是肯定含义，即世界各地标准英语的语法、词汇等都是相同的，因此选much。A 、D 是否定副词； B 中的very不用于修饰the same。
