【解析】

试题分析：这是一段论述英语词汇是由哪几方面的因素构成的说明文。文中介绍英语词汇和哪些语言有联系。

1.A. knowing知道；B. wondering 想知道；C. earning 赚；D. hearing听见。根据后文可知句意你们肯定想知道它为什么那么的难学。故选B。

2. 但是，表示转折的关系；and 和，表示连接；if 如果，引导条件状语从句；unless除非，如果不，引导条件状语从句，和if 的意思正好相反。根据这句话的意思可知，如果了解了语言和它的文化，那么学习语言就不是那么难了，所以这里表示的是条件，故选C。

3. 新闻，消息；fact 事实；truth 真相；information信息。根据这句话的意思可知，这里应该表示的是关于语言的信息，故选D

4.也许关于英语你需要知道的第一件事情是它是由几种其他的语言构成的，像法语，德语，拉丁文、希腊文和盎格鲁-撒克逊文。A. such as 例如，就一件事给出多个例子；B. the same as像······一样；C. so as 只要，连词；D. for example例如，经常给出一个例子。结合句意，故选A。

5.另外，在英语中有来自西班牙语的单词。from,来自······，结合句意故选D。

6. words 单词。culture 文化；language语言； letters字母。这三项均不符合文意。

7. 意思是借，跟它搭配的借词是from，意为：从······借。for 为了，因为；to 到······；out 在······外面。根据句意可知选C。

8. of + 名词复数，表示······之一。这里说的是人们学习英语时感到困难的一个原因就是英语中有很多的外来词。that 那个；something 某事；this这个。根据句意可知选C。

9.

10.······时候；before 在······之前；after 在······之后；while 当······时候。根据这句话的意思可知应选D。
