解答 61.consists 62.these 63.why 64.replacing 65.from
66.given 67.approximately 68.contributions 69.was served 70.whether
61.consists 考查动词时态.language与consist之间是主谓关系,表示一般事实,用一般现在时态,因主语language是单数三人称,谓语动词也要用单数三人称形式consists.
62.these 考查代词.people是集合名词,其前的代词要用复数形式these.
63.why 考查连词.根据句意:英语为什么有这么多规则,可知用why.
64.replacing 考查动名词.lead to意为"导致",to是介词,后接动词时用动名词形式.
65.from 考查介词.differ from意为"与…不同",是固定搭配.
66.given 考查过去分词. name与give之间是动宾关系,用过去分词作定语修饰name.
67.approximately 考查副词.数词要用副词修饰,形容词approximate的副词是approximately.
68.contributions 考查名词复数.contribution意为"贡献",是可数名词,其前有many修饰时要用复数形式.
69.was served 考查动词时态和语态.meat与serve之间是动宾关系,要用被动语态,且动词发生在过去,要用一般过去时的被动语态.
70.whether 考查连词.根据句意:英语在未来是否继续变化的问题是容易回答的,用连词whethr引导从句介词of的宾语从句.
