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. [br] 【C2】
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。
