问答题   Most of us have an image of a standard English in pronunciation, and very commonly in Great Britain this is " Received Pronunciation", often associated with the public schools and the BBC. Indeed, a pronunciation within this range has great prestige throughout the world, and for English taught as a foreign language it is usually ideal than any other【S1】________ pronunciation. At the same time, it must be remembered that, so far as the English-speaking countries are concerned, this " Received Pronunciation" becomes the status of a "standard" almost only in England. 【S2】________  Even in England it is difficult to speak about a standard in pronunciation. 【S3】 ________For one thing, pronunciation is infinitely variable, so that even giving the【S4】________will to adopt a single pronunciation, it would be difficult to achieve. The word dance will be pronounced in a dozen ways even by people who do 【S5】________  not think of themselves as dialect speakers; there is no a sure way of any two【S6】________people saying the same word with precisely the same sound. In this respect, pronunciation much more closely resembles handwriting than spelling. In spelling, there are absolute distinctions which can be learnt and imitated  with completely precision; one can know at once whether a word is spelt in【S7】________a "standard" way or not.

【正确答案】becomes → approaches
【答案解析】动词误用。联系上下文可知,此处是指“Received Pronunciation只有在英国才接近标准的地位”。approach意为“几乎达到(某水平或状态),接近”。如用become则句意为“Received Pronunciation成为标准的地位”,语义不通,故将becomes改为approaches。
