问题     Societies change over time while their reputations【B1】behind. Many things which are often regarded as【B2】British derive from books, songs or plays which were written a long time ago and which are no longer【B3】of modem life. One example of this is the popular belief【B4】Britain is a "land of tradition". This is what most tourist brochures【B5】. It is based on【B6】can be seen in public life and on centuries of political continuity. And at this level, it is【B7】true. The【B8】ceremony of the state opening of Parliament, for instance, carefully【B9】customs which are centuries old.【B10】does the military ceremony of "trooping the colour ".【B11】, the changing of the guard outside Buckingham Palace never changes.

选项 A、leave
B、lag
C、follow
D、lack
答案B
解析 考查句子结构和词汇；首先根据while在这里的意思“然而”来判断，空格处应该是和 change相对应的一个意思，类似于“落后，滞后”之类的意思，根据四个备选词汇的辨析。Leave经常用被动，be left behind；follow和lack的含义有所偏差，分别表示“随后”和“缺少”；而lag behind则可以用主动的语态来表示“落后”，故为正确答案。
