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.
【C12】
选项 A、variation
B、standardization
C、unification
D、transformation
答案A
解析 此题属于语义搭配题。variation意为“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意为“[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 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A) variation。选项B) standardization(标准化)，与下文的minor搭配不当；选项C) unification意为“联合，统一”，不合题意，例如：The traffic laws of the different states need unification．选项D) transformation意为“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。
