【解析】
试题分析:本文介绍了语言是由单词构成和人们应该努力提高自己的词汇量来掌握一门语言
1.living 考查现在分词。主语是people, 谓语made(原形为make), 宾语words；living in different countries做people的定语，意思为：住在不同国家的人们。故填living
2.languages 考查名词。根据后面一句：Each contains many thousands of words.（每一种都包含数千单词）可知横线上填的是跟语言有关，而language是一个可数名词，前面又有fifteen hundred来修饰，故填languages
3.or/to 考查连词。句意：一本大字典，例如，可以包含四或（到）五十万字。根据句意，故填or/to
4.all 考查形容词。根据下文：To read short stories you need to know only about two thousand words.（读一篇短故事，你只须知晓大概2000个词即可）可以推断上文的意思是：但是你并不需要知道它们所有。根据句意，故填all
5.Before 考查连词。句意:在你离校前，你将仅仅学到一千左右的单词。 根据句意，故填Before
6.bigger 考查形容词比较级。根据后文：Read as many books as we can.可知作者认为扩大词汇量是有必要的，句意：你应该努力使你的词汇量更大。括号里给的是big，但根据句意，故填bigger
7.written 考查非谓语动词。there be句型后可加doing ,to do 和过去分词(done),但情况不同用法也不同：1.当表示主语一直存在的状态时，用doing；2.表示未发生的动作或即将进入的状态时，用不定式即to do；3.当表示主语的被动语态时，修饰主语，用过去分词。句意：有许多用简单英语写成的书。故填written
8.a 考查冠词。New word新单词，是泛指，无特指，故填a
9.up 考查动词词组搭配。Look up查阅，查找；句意：当你碰到一个不认识的新单词，可以去查字典。故填up
10.most考查形容词最高级。句意：字典是你最有用的书。Useful有用的，是一个多音节形容词，要变为形容词最高级的时候，前面加most来表示，括号里给出的是much，故填most
考点：考查篇章理解及相关语法知识
