解析试题分析：本文叙述了杭州话将要消失。现在，普通话是官方语言，人们在政府机构，商业机构，以及学校，都在用普通话。杭州的年轻人虽然也说杭州话，但是没有他们的父母或祖父母说得好。因为在日常生活中，他们说普通话的机会越来越多，说杭州话就越来越少。现在人们想通过建立博物馆或语言节来加强杭州话的学习，但是如果在日常生活中人们停止使用它，博物馆或节日都起不了作用。
【小题1】句意：杭州话将是其中之一。 此处用代词them代替即将消失的语言，因位于介词of之后，故用宾格形式。
【小题2】句意：它是更多人要问的问题。根据Will Hangzhouhua be one of 61)________? 可知这是一个问题。因有冠词a 修饰，故用单数名词question。
【小题3】句意：那就意味着它是政府语言。根据In China, Putonghua is the official language. 可知普通话是官方的语言，这就意味着公共场所都说普通话。因主语是that, 故此处用第三人称单数形式means。
【小题4】句意：它也是在学校使用的语言。结合句意，表示被动，故用过去分词used。 
【小题5】句意：杭州话通过现代，时尚，美丽的方式展示出来。By+doing 通过......。
【小题6】句意：年轻人虽然仍然说杭州话，但是不像他们的父母和祖父母说的那么好。as well as和......一样好。   
【小题7】句意：所以杭州话在日常生活中被说的越来越少。根据They are under more and more pressure to speak Putonghua. 可知生活中他们说普通话越来越多，因此说杭州话越来越少。故此处用形容词less。
【小题8】句意：但是一种语言不是一幅画也不是一本书。在否定句中，表示并列关系，用连词or。   
【小题9】句意：它是一种活生生的东西，你要么使用它，要么失去它。Either......， or.......要么......，要么......。
【小题10】句意：如果在日常生活中人们停止使用它，博物馆或节日都起不了作用。stop doing sth. 停止做某事。
