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【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.
【C1】
选项 A、said
B、told
C、talked
D、spoken
答案D
解析 此题属于语义搭配题。speak意为“说话”，着重开口发声，不着重所说的内容，一般为不及物动词，在作为及物动词时，宾语只能是语言(如Chinese/English)、真话(truth)等少数的词，不能接that引导的名词性从句，例如：I have heard him speak of you．原句出现的宾语English说明，此处选项D) spoken正确。选项A) say意为“说出，说道”，着重所说的话，用直接引语时只能用say，例如：(1) He said little that we didn’t know yet．(2) He said，“I don’t know what happened．”选项B) tell意为“告诉”，兼有嘱托，命令之意，除了较少的情况，如tell the truth/a lie之外，一般后面接双宾语，tell sb. sth./ to do sth．或tell sb. about ste例如：She told me tO wait for her．选项C) talk与speak意思相近，一般也用作不及物动词；用作及物动词时，宾语只能是某国语言，nonsense等词，但talk含有“话是对某人说的”意思，有较强的对答、讨论意味，例如：He went On talking for a long time，but he spoke so fast  that few of us could catch what he said。
