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 leaning 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 3infects 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 com- promise between local norms and national, even supranational(跨国的)ones.
【C1】

选项 A、said
B、told
C、talked
D、spoken

答案D

解析 此题属于语义搭配题。speak 意为“说话”,着重开口发声,不着重所说的内容,一般为不及物动词,在作为及物动词时,宾语只能是语言(如Chinese/English)、真话(truth)等少数的词,不能接that 引导的名词性从句,例如:I have heard him speak of you.原句出现的宾语English 说明,此处选项[D]spoken 正确。选项[A]say 意为“说出,说道”,着重所说的话,用直接引语时只能用say,例如:(1)He said little that we didn’t know yet.(2)He said:“I don’t know what happened.”选项[B]tell 意为“告诉”,兼有嘱托,命令之意,除了较少的情况,如 tell the truth/a lie 之外,一般后面接双宾语,tell sb.sth/to do sth.或tell sb.about sth.例如:She told me to wait for her.选项[C]talk 与speak 意思相近,一般也用作不及物动词,用作及物动词时,宾语只能是某国语言,nonsense 等词,但 talk 含有“话是对某人说的”意思,有较强的对答、讨论意味,例如:He went on talking for a long time,but he spoke so fast that few of us could catch what he said.
