13.All through history,people from many different countries and cultures have lived together in Britain.The English language (61)consists (consist) of the grammar and vocabulary (62)these (this) people brought to Britain.That is (63)why English has so many difficult rules that confuse people.The development of English experienced three periods-Old English,Middle English and Modern English.From the 5th to the 9th centuries,Britain was occupied by different groups from other countries,which led to Old English (64)replacing (replace) Celtic.Old English,a mixture of different languages,differs (65)from today's English.Middle English is the name (66)given (give) to the English used from (67)approximately (approximate) the 12th to the 15th centuries.During this period,French,though it didn't replace English,still made many (68)contributions (contribution) to Middle English.This resulted in more words with similar meanings.The words for the meat of these animals which (69)was served (serve) to the Normans,came from Old French.Modern English appeared in the 16th century,which went through many changes during this period.The question of (70)whether English will keep on changing in the future is easy to answer.It is certain that this process will continue.
分析 本文讲述了英语的发展过程,英语分为古代英语、中古英语和现代英语.古代英语是不同的语言的混合物,它不同于今天的英语;中古英语大约在12到15世纪,这时出现了具有相近意义的很多单词;现代英语出现于16世纪.
解答 61. consists;考查动词的时态,本文陈述事实用一般现在时,主语The English language 是第三人称单数,故用consists.
62.these;考查代词,根据句意"这些人带到英国的语法和词汇"可知此处的people指代上文的 people from many different countries and cultures,故用复数these.
63.why;考查表语从句,句意为"这就是有着很多使人困惑的规则的原因",why引导的从句作表语.
64.replacing;考查非谓语动词,短语lead to中to是介词,后跟动名词作宾语.
65.from;考查介词,differ from是固定搭配,意为"不同于".
66.given;考查分词作定语,这里name与动词give存在逻辑上的被动关系,故用过去分词作后置定语.
67.approximately;考查副词,此处用副词形式在句中作状语,意为"大约在12到15世纪".
68.contributions;考查名词的复数,many修饰名词的复数,故用contributions
69.was served;考查动词的语态,分析句子结构可知主语which与动词serve是被动关系,故用被动语态.
70.whether;考查连词,根据It is certain that this process will continue可知此处的意思为"英语是否会继续变化这个问题很容易回答",故用连词whether表示"是否".
