试题分析:本文属于说明文,主要介绍了英语的发展史以及影响英语发展的两个人:莎士比亚和韦伯斯特。
【1】The 考查定冠词。在形容词或副词最高级前面要使用定冠词the表示特指。句意:现在讲英语最多的人应该在中国。
【2】as 考查介词。本句中介词as意为“作为...”;很多这个人把英语作为他们的外语来讲。
【3】fluently 考查副词。在英语中,形容词通常在句中做定语和表语,副词通常做状语。本句中使用副词fluently修饰动词都一样speak English。
【4】has changed 考查时态。根据本句时间状语over time随着时间的流逝,该短语经常和现在完成时连用。句意:随着时间的流逝,英语已经改变了很多。
【5】spoken 考查分词做定语。本句中动词speak与Old English构成被动关系,所以使用过去分词短语spoken at that time在句中作后置定语。
【6】was based 考查固定搭配。形容词短语be based on....以...为基础;句意:因为英语是以德语为基础的,所以那时被讲的古英语听起来就像是德语。
【7】than 考查介词。介词than通常和比较级连用。句意:现代英语听起来更像法语,而不是德语。本句涉及德语和法语的比较,所以使用介词than。
【8】who/that 考查定语从句。本题定语从句的先行词是the person,关系代词who/that指代先行词并在句中做主语。
【9】other 考查固定搭配。两者中的一个使用one表示,两者中的另外一个使用“the other”表示。
【10】its 考查代词。本句中its指代American English,这是一个单数名词,所以使用its指代它。他写了一本字典最终给了美国英语自己的身份。
