问题     As regards of social conventions, we must say a word about the well- 1.______
known English class system. This is an embarrassing subject for English
people, and they tend to be ashamed of, though during the present century 2.______
class-consciousness has grown less and less, and the class system less rigid. But
it still exists below the surface. Broad speaking, it means there are two classes, 3.______
the "middle class" and the "working class". (We shall ignore for a moment the
old "upper class", including the hereditary aristocracy, since it is extremely
small in numbers; so some of its members have the right to sit in the House of 4.______
Lords, and some newspapers take a surprising interest in their private life.) The
middle class consists chiefly in well-to-do businessmen and professional people 5.______
of all kinds. The working class are chiefly manual and unskilled workers.
    The most obvious difference between them is in their accent. Middle-class
people use slightly varying kinds of "received pronunciation" which is a kind 6.______
of English spoken by BBC announcers and taught to overseas pupils. Typical
working-class people speak many different local accents which are generally 7. ______
felt to be rather beautiful and uneducated. One of the biggest barriers of social 8.______
equality in England is the two-class education system. To have been to a so-called
"public school" immediately marks you out as one of the middle class. The middle
classes tend to live a more formal life than working-class people, and usually more 9.______
cultured. Their midday meal is "lunch" and they have a rather formal evening meal
called "dinner", whereas the working man’s dinner, if his working hours permitted, 10.______
is at midday, and his smaller, late-evening meal is called supper.  
选项
答案permitted——permit
解析 本题为语态误用。此处主语为time，习惯用法为if time permits“如果时间允许的话”，此处是主动关系，不必用被动语态。
