单选题Standard English is the variety of English which is usually used in print and winch is normally taught in schools and to non-native speakers leaning the language. It is also the variety which is normally (71) by educated people and used in news broadcasts and other (72) situations. The difference between standard and nonstandard, it should be noted, has (73) in principle to do with differences between formal and colloquial (74) ; standard English has colloquial as well as formal variants. (75) , the standard variety of English is based on the London (76) of English that developed after the Norman Conquest resulted in the removal of the Court from Winchester to London. This dialect became the one (77) by the educated, and it was developed and promoted (78) a model, or norm, for wider and wider segments of society. It was also the (79) that was carried overseas, but not one unaffected by such export. Today, (80) English is arranged to the extent that the grammar and vocabulary of English are (81) the same everywhere in the world where English is used; (82) among local standards is really quite minor, (83) the Singapore, South Africa, and Irish varieties have very (84) difference from one another so far as grammar and vocabulary are (85) .

This latter situation is not unique (89) English: it is also true in other countries where processes of standardization are (90) .

单选题 Another example of the exercise of power by Congress was the action it took during the Reconstruction Period after the Civil War. It has already been noted that President Johnson favored a lenient policy toward the South and attempted to carry out Lincoln's "10 percent plan". He pardoned most of the Southern leaders and permitted them to restore their state governments. They were permitted to elect Senators and Representatives. Congress, however, led by the Radical Republican Thaddeus Stevens, had other ideas about the handing of the defeated Confederacy. Congress favored punitive policies. The South should be treated as conquered territory, and its readmission should be handled by Congress rather than the President. Congress opposed the "Johnson Governments" and the "Black Codes" passed by Southern states which virtually restored former slaves to their masters. Accordingly, it passed the Reconstruction Act of 1867. This measure divided the South into five military districts and provided that a seceded state would be readmitted in the Union only after it had ratified the 14th Amendment which provided that all persons born or naturalized in the United States should be citizens of the United States and of the state in which they resided, granted equality before the law to all persons, and prohibited a state from depriving any person of life, liberty, or property without due process of law. Congress also barred rebel leaders from federal office, repudiated the Confederate debt, and reduced the representation of states which barred qualified persons from voting. Later it adopted the 15th Amendement guaranteeing the Negroes the right to vote. Johnson vigorously opposed these measures. He vetoed the Reconstruction Act and others, only to see Congress repass them over his veto. After such passage of the Tenure of Office Act, Johnson, believing it unconstitutional, violated it and removed a member of his Cabinet without consulting Congress. The House of Representatives proceeded to impeach Johnson. The Senate, however, failed, by one vote, to reach the two-thirds majority necessary for his removal.
