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

D.hardly

网考网参考答案:C
网考网解析:

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。 document.getElementById("warp").style.display="none"; document.getElementById("content").style.display="block"; 查看试题解析出处>>
