53、oblems for speakers who try to strike some kind of compromise between local norms and national, even supernational ones. 1.A.saidB.toldC.talkedD.spoken答案:D考查動(dòng)詞用法。由前文可知這里的variety指的是語言的種類，而說某種語言只能用speak，不能用其他三項(xiàng)。2.A.sameB.similarC.equalD.identical答案:B考查形容詞與上下文理解。same(完全)相同的，一樣的；similar相似的，近似的,equal(數(shù)值、

54、地位等)相等的,identical同一的，完全相同的。由上下文及常識(shí)可知這里指與新聞播音相似的情形，選B。3.A.anythingB.somethingC.nothingD.everything答案:C考查固定搭配與上下文理解。由上下文不難看出，這里作者強(qiáng)調(diào)的是標(biāo)準(zhǔn)語言與非標(biāo)準(zhǔn)語言之間的差異與正式語言和口語的差異無關(guān)，因此用have nothing to do with這一固定搭配。其余三項(xiàng)都是肯定義，都不合上下文邏輯。4.A.languageB.vocabularyC.idiomsD.words答案:A考查名詞辨義。language語言, vocabulary詞匯； idiom習(xí)語，成語，風(fēng)

55、格；word單詞。由于受 colloquial(口語的)修飾，且后一分句中它又修飾指語言種類的variants(變體)，故此處也用language。5.A.SurprisinglyB.HistoricallyC.InterestinglyD.Generally答案:B考查副詞與上下文理解。由下文中的developed(發(fā)展)及整個(gè)句意可知這里涉及的是英語的歷史，因此選historically(歷史上，從歷史來說)。其余三項(xiàng)都不合邏輯。6.A.accentB.pronunciationC.spellingD.dialect答案:D考查名詞與上下文理解。由上下文可知這里指的是倫敦英語這種方言，因此

56、選dialect(方言)。 accent口音；pronunciation發(fā)音；spelling拼寫。而下文中緊跟著又出現(xiàn)了dialect一詞，可以幫助確定答案。7.A.preferredB.learnedC.praisedD.created答案:A考查動(dòng)詞辨義，prefer更喜歡, learn學(xué)習(xí)；praise表揚(yáng)；create創(chuàng)造。由文意與常識(shí)可知，受過教育的人應(yīng)當(dāng)是“更喜歡”說倫敦英語，因此選A。8.A.toB.inC.asD.for答案:C考查介詞用法。to引出的是方向和對(duì)象，in表示的是空間位置、途徑等，as指“作為”，表達(dá)的是形式，for引出對(duì)象和目的。由上下文與常識(shí)可知，這里指?jìng)惗胤窖匝葑兂闪艘环N標(biāo)準(zhǔn)英語，表示的是一種形式，因此選C。9.A.basisB.normC.ruleD.variety答案:B考查名詞辨義與上下文理解。由上文中的norm與本句中的also即可確定應(yīng)選norm(標(biāo)準(zhǔn)，規(guī)范)。basis基礎(chǔ)；rule規(guī)則；variety種類。10.A.formalB.colloquialC.non-stand
