填空题
There are great impediments to the general use of a standard
in pronunciation comparable to that existing in spelling
(orthography). One is the fact that pronunciation is learnt
'naturally' and consciously, and orthography is learnt （1）
deliberately and consciously. Large numbers of us, in fact,
remain throughout our lives quite unconscious with what （2）
our speech sounds like when we speak out, and it often（3）
comes as a shock when we firstly hear a recording of ourselves. （4）
It is not a voice we recognize at once, whereas our own handwriting
is something which we almost always know. We begin the "natural' （5）
learning of pronunciation long before we start learning to read or
write, and in our early years we went on unconsciously imitating and （6）
practicing the pronunciation of those around us for many more hours
per every day than we ever have to spend learning even our difficult（7）
English spelling. This is 'natural', therefore, that our speech-sounds （8）
should be those of our immediate circle after all, as we have seen,
speech operates as a means of holding a community and （9）
giving a sense of 'belonging'. We learn quite early to recognize a
'stranger', someone who speaks with an accent of a different
community - perhaps only a few miles far. （10）
