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】______.

This latter situation is not unique【C19】______English. it is also  true in other countries where processes of standardization are【C20】______.

选项 A、same
B、similar
C、equal
D、identical

答案 B

解析 此题属于语义搭配题。similar意为“类似的,想像的,不是同一的”,例如:The two houses are  very similar in appearance.原句谈及标准英语使用的情况或场合,由other一词可知这种场合不是与news broadcasts一样的场合,而是相似的场合,故选项B) similar正确。选项A) same意为“相同的,指同一的”,例如:The same mistake occurs three times in the paragraph.在这一段中同样的错误出现了三次。选项C) equal意为“(指事物在数量价值方面)相等的,平等的,胜任的”,例如:(1) We divided the cake into three equal parts.(2) He was equal to the occasion.他能应付这场面。选项D) identical意为“同一的,完全相同的”,例如:(1) It’s the identical coat which was stolen from me.(2) The tests are identical to those carried out last year.全句可译为:它通常指用于印刷品的书面英语,在学校里所教授的英语。它也指那些受过教育的人所使用的英语。标准英语也常常用于新闻广播或其他类似的场合。
