【解析】
试题分析:考查名词性从句。由内容可知truth后是同位语从句,而同位语从句中又包含状语从句there are air, water and sunlight,根据句意可以判断状语从句应由wherever 引导,而同位语从句句意完整不缺少成分,所以要用that引导,that在同位语从句中只起连接作用,不做成分。句意:我们都知道这个事实----只要有空气,水和阳光的地方就有生命。
考点:考查名词性从句。
As we all know, language is always changing. In a society where life continues year after year with few changes, the language does not change either. The earliest known languages had difficult grammar but a small, limited vocabulary. Over the century, the grammar changed, and the vocabulary grew. For example, the English and Spanish people who came to America during the sixteenth century gave names to all the new plants and animals they found. In this way, hundreds of new words were introduced into English and Spanish vocabularies. Today life is changing very fast, and language is changing fast too.
There are several major(主要) language families in the world. Some scientists say there are nine main families, but other scientists divide them differently. The languages in each family are connected, and scientists think that they came from the same parent language. About 3 percent of the people in the world speak languages that are not in these major families.
