    Speech community is similar to other kinds of【B4】________．The people who make up the community share common language．Often they live side by side, as they do in a neighborhood, a village, or a city． More often they form a whole country．National boundaries, however, are not always the same as the boundaries of a speech community．A speech community is any group of people who【B5】________the same language no matter where they happen to live．
    We may say that anyone who speaks English【B6】________to the English speech community．For convenience, we may classify the speakers into two groups：one in which the speakers use English as their native language, the other in which the speakers learn English as a second language for the 【B7】________of education, commerce, and so on．

A、international

D、belongs

G、communities
H、settled

K、heavily
L、largest
【B2】
选项
答案H
解析 此处的定语从句缺少谓语，因此需要填一个动词。备选单词中有三个动词：belongs，speak和settled。此处前半句为过去时，根据时态一致原则，此处也应该用过去时，故belongs和speak都被排除掉。此外，settle in为固定词组，意思是“安顿下来，……定居”，因此无论是从语法还是从词组搭配的角度，此题都应选H。
