Choose the best word for each numbered blank and mark A, B, C or D on ANSWER SHEET 1. Standard English is the variety of English which is usua

41、lly 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 1 by educated people and used in news broadcasts and other 2 situations. The difference between standard and nonstandard, it should be noted, has 3 in

42、principle to do with differences between formal and colloquial 4 ; standard English has colloquial as well as formal variants. 5 , the standard variety of English is based on the London 6 of English that developed after the Norman Conquest resulted in the removal of the Court from Winchester to Lond

43、on. This dialect became the one 7 by the educated, and it was developed and promoted 8 a model, or norm, for wider and wider segments of society. It was also the 9 that was carried overseas, but not one unaffected by such export. Today, 10 English is arranged to the extent that the grammar and vocab

44、ulary of English are 11 the same everywhere in the world where English is used; 12 among local standards is really quite minor, 13 the Singapore, South Africa, and Irish varieties are really very 14 different from one another so far as grammar and vocabulary are 15 . Indeed, Standard English is so p

45、owerful that it exerts a tremendous 16 on all local varieties, to the extent that many of long-established dialects of England have 17 much of their vigor and there is considerable pressure on them to be 18 . This 19 situation is not unique to English: it is also true in other countries where proces

46、ses of standardization are 20 . But it sometimes creates problems for speakers who try to strike some kind of compromise between local norms and national, even supernational ones. 1.A.preferredB.learnedC.praisedD.created答案:A考查动词辨义，prefer更喜欢, learn学习；praise表扬；create创造。由文意与常识可知，受过教育的人应当是“更喜欢”说伦敦英语，因此选

47、A。2.A.toB.inC.asD.for答案:C考查介词用法。to引出的是方向和对象，in表示的是空间位置、途径等，as指“作为”，表达的是形式，for引出对象和目的。由上下文与常识可知，这里指伦敦方言演变成了一种标准英语，表示的是一种形式，因此选C。3.A.basisB.normC.ruleD.variety答案:B考查名词辨义与上下文理解。由上文中的norm与本句中的also即可确定应选norm(标准，规范)。basis基础；rule规则；variety种类。4.A.formalB.colloquialC.non-standardD.standard答案:D考查上下文理解。由于后文谈论的

48、都是标准英语的问题，因此根据逻辑与上下文文意可知此处也应用standard来修饰。5.A.notB.veryC.muchD.hardly答案:C考查副词与上下文理解。由后文中描述标准英语的形容词powerful及常识可知这里作者表达的应是肯定含义，即世界各地标准英语的语法、词汇等都是相同的，因此选much。A、D是否定副词； B中的very不用于修饰the same。6.A.variationB.standardizationC.unificationD.transformation答案:A考查名词辨义与上下文理解。由上题分析可知作者指的是标准英语在语法等上的相同性，因此此处应是说各地之间的差

49、异“很小”，选variation(差异，变化)。standardization标准化；unification统一，联合；transformation改变，改观。7.A.whileB.butC.so thatD.nevertheless答案:C考查上下文关系。由上下文可知，此处所说几种英语在语法和词汇上差别不大，应当是前文所说各地英语差异很小的一种结果，因此选so that。while表轻微转折或者同时，but表示转折，nevertheless为正式用语，也表转折或者让步，它们都不合句意逻辑。8.A.greatB.muchC.noD.little答案:D考查上下文理解。参见上题分析。本题由常识也

50、可推知答案。注意C虽然也表否定，但它是绝对否定，明显不符合事实。9.A.talkedB.concernedC.mentionedD.involved答案:D考查固定搭配。as/so far as.be concerned为固定搭配，指“就而言，从来说”。其余三项都不用在此结构中。10.A.pressB.pressureC.powerD.force答案:B考查名词辨义与上下文理解。press媒体，按，压，繁重；pressure压力；power权力，力量；force迫使，力量。由于后面一句紧跟着出现了pressure on这一搭配，因此此处也选pressure。11.A.lostB.gainedC

51、.missedD.got答案:A考查动词辨义与上下文理解。由句意不难看出，标准英语的强大力量应当是使一些英国方言“失去”了生命力(即用这些方言的人越来越少)，因此选A。gain获得；miss错过；get得到。它们都不对。12.A.abandonedB.changedC.standardizedD.reformed答案:C考查动词辨义。abandon丢弃；change改变；standardize使标准化；reform改革。由于全文论述的都是标准英语的内容，此处当然应当是说方言在压力之下标准化，从而变成标准英语那样，C最恰当。13.A.latterB.laterC.lateD.lately答案:A

52、考查限定词。由于修饰单数可数名词situation(情形)，且前文说明的是标准英语两个方面的影响，因此应选形容词latter(后者的)。later和late都可作形容词或者副词，都指时间，前者指“后来(的)”，后者指“迟(的)；晚(的)”；lately是副词，指“近来，最近”。14.A.in the wayB.under wayC.out of the wayD.all the way答案:B考查固定搭配。(be) in the way在路中，挡路，妨碍：(be) under way在进行中，在实施中(也拼作underway)；(be) out of way在路边，在一边，得以解决(way前一

53、般要用冠词或者sb. s限定)；all the way完全地。由上下文文意可知只能选B。15.A.saidB.toldC.talkedD.spoken答案:D考查动词用法。由前文可知这里的variety指的是语言的种类，而说某种语言只能用speak，不能用其他三项。16.A.sameB.similarC.equalD.identical答案:B考查形容词与上下文理解。same(完全)相同的，一样的；similar相似的，近似的,equal(数值、地位等)相等的,identical同一的，完全相同的。由上下文及常识可知这里指与新闻播音相似的情形，选B。17.A.anythingB.somethi

54、ngC.nothingD.everything答案:C考查固定搭配与上下文理解。由上下文不难看出，这里作者强调的是标准语言与非标准语言之间的差异与正式语言和口语的差异无关，因此用have nothing to do with这一固定搭配。其余三项都是肯定义，都不合上下文逻辑。18.A.languageB.vocabularyC.idiomsD.words答案:A考查名词辨义。language语言, vocabulary词汇； idiom习语，成语，风格；word单词。由于受 colloquial(口语的)修饰，且后一分句中它又修饰指语言种类的variants(变体)，故此处也用language

55、。19.A.SurprisinglyB.HistoricallyC.InterestinglyD.Generally答案:B考查副词与上下文理解。由下文中的developed(发展)及整个句意可知这里涉及的是英语的历史，因此选historically(历史上，从历史来说)。其余三项都不合逻辑。20.A.accentB.pronunciationC.spellingD.dialect答案:D考查名词与上下文理解。由上下文可知这里指的是伦敦英语这种方言，因此选dialect(方言)。 accent口音；pronunciation发音；spelling拼写。而下文中紧跟着又出现了dialect一词，

56、可以帮助确定答案。Section Reading ComprehensionPart A Read the following four texts and answer the questions below each text by choosing A, B, C or D. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1.
