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 【21】______  by educated people and used in news broadcasts and other 【22】______  situations. The difference between standard and nonstandard, it should be noted, has 【23】______  in principle to do with differences between formal and colloquial 【24】______ ; standard English has colloquial as well as formal variants.
    【25】______ , the standard variety of English is based on the London 【26】______  of English that developed after the Norman Conquest resulted in the removal of the Court from Winchester to London. This dialect became the one 【27】______  by the educated, and it was developed and promoted 【28】______  a model, or norm, for wider and wider segments of society. It was also the 【29】______  that was carried overseas, but not one unaffected by such export. Today, 【30】______  English is arranged to the extent that the grammar and vocabulary of English are 【31】______  the same everywhere in the world where English is used; 【32】______  among local standards is really quite minor, 【33】______  the Singapore, South Africa, and Irish varieties are really very 【34】______  different from one another so far as grammar and vocabulary are 【35】______ .

This latter situation ig not unique 【39】______  English: it is also true in other countries where processes of standardization are 【40】______ .

【29】
选项 A、basis
B、norm
C、rule
D、variety
答案B
解析 此题属于语意搭配题。norm表示“标准”，例如：One child per family is becoming the norm in some countries．根据上下文，前面谈到伦敦方言已经发展成为一种标准(norm)，下文提及正是这个norm漂洋过海，传到海外，因此选项B norm正确。其他选项:A basis(基础);C rule;D variety(变体)，伦敦英语是英语的一种变体，但这种变体己发展成为一种标准、模式，传到海外的是这一标准。
