题目内容
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 历史上，来自不同国家和不同文化的人们在英国生活在一起，英语是由这些人带到英国的语法和词汇组成，这就是为什么英语有这么多迷惑人的规则的原因．本文主要讲了英语的演化过程和词汇来源．
解答 61．consists考查一般现在时．句意：英语是由语法和词汇组成的，根据句意可知句子叙述的是客观情况，所以应用一般现在时，故填consists．
62．these 考查代词．根据空后的 people是集合名词可知，此处应用this的复数形式修饰people，故填these．
63．why 考查表语从句．句意：这就是为什么英语有这么多迷惑人的规则的原因，此处意为"为什么"用来说明理由，故填why．
64．replacing 考查现在分词． replace的逻辑主语是Old English，它们之间是主动关系，所以用现在分词，故填replacing．
65．from 考查介词．differ from 是固定用法，意为"与…不同"，句意：古英语是多种语言的混合体，与今天的英语不同，故填from．
66．given 考查过去分词． give与其逻辑主语name是被动关系，所以应用过去分词形式，故填given．
67．approximately 考查副词．因为副词修饰动词，所以修饰动词used应用approximate的副词，故填approximately．
68．contributions 考查名词复数．根据空前的many可知此处应用contribution的复数形式，故填contributions．
69．was served 考查时态和语态．which指代先行词animals且与动词serve是被动关系，根据came from…可知时态是一般过去时，所以是一般过去时的被动语态，故填wasserved．
70．whether 考查连词．句意：英语将来是否会继续变化这个问题很容易回答．这里whether"是否"引导的是同位语从句，它们只起连接的作用，在句中不作成分．故填whether．
点评 语法填空是通过语篇在语境中考查语法知识的运用能力，在解题前应快速浏览短文掌握大意，在读懂短文的基础上，结合短文提供的特定的语言环境去逐句分析，逐题解答．扎实的语法功底加上准确的理解是解答语法填空题的关键．
