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  【21】______   by educated people and used in news broadcasts and other  【22】______   situations. The difference between standard and nonstandard, it should be noted, has  【23】______   in principle to do with differences between formal and colloquial  【24】______   ; standard English has colloquial as well as formal variants.
     【25】______   , the standard variety of English is based on the London  【26】______   of English that developed after the Norman Conquest resulted in the removal of the Court from Winchester to London. This dialect became the one  【27】______   by the educated, and it was developed and promoted  【28】______   a model, or norm, for wider and wider segments of society. It was also the  【29】______   that was carried overseas, but not one unaffected by such export. Today,  【30】______   English is arranged to the extent that the grammar and vocabulary of English are  【31】______   the same everywhere in the world where English is used;  【32】______   among local standards is really quite minor,  【33】______   the Singapore, South Africa, and Irish varieties are really very  【34】______   different from one another so far as grammar and vocabulary are  【35】______   . Indeed, Standard English is so powerful that it exerts a tremendous  【36】______   on all local varieties, to the extent that many of long-established dialects of England have  【37】______   much of their vigor and there is considerable pressure on them to be  【38】______   . This  【39】______   situation is not unique to English: it is also true in other countries where processes of standardization are  【40】______   . But it sometimes creates problems for speakers who try to strike some kind of compromise between local norms and national, even supernational ones.
