8.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 these people brought to Britain.That is (62)why English has so many difficult rules that confuse people.The (63)development(develop) of English experienced three periods-Old English,Middle English (64)and Modern English.From the 5th to the 9th centuries,Britain was occupied by different groups from other countries,which led to Old English replacing 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 本文主要介绍了英语为什么会有那么令人困惑的复杂规则的原因以及英语所经历的三个发展阶段:古英语、中世纪英语和现代英语.
解答 61.consists 考查时态及固定词组 此处在句中作谓语,根据前后句都使用了一般现在时可知,此处描述的是英语在通常情况下的特点;由于consist of(=be made up of意为:由…组成)没有被动语态;而主语The English language 为第三人称单数形式;故用consists.
62.why 考查句意理解及从属连词 本句的意思是:这就是为什么英语有那么多令人困惑的复杂规则的原因;此处用来引导表语从句,意为:为什么…;故用why.
63.development 考查名词 此处用在定冠词The之后,在句中作的是主语,故用名词development.
64.and 考查连词 此处用来连接两个以上表示并列的名词短语,故应将and放在最后一个词语Modern English的前面.
65.from 考查动词短语 differ from意为:与…不同,区别于…;故用from.
66.given 考查过去分词 此处在句中作后置定语,修饰名词name;由于动词give与该名词构成被动关系,故用过去分词given.
67.approximately 考查程度副词 此处用在介词短语"from (67)the 12th to the 15th centuries"中作状语,意为:近似地,大约;故用approximately.
68.contributions 考查名词的单复数 此处用在形容词many之后,意为:许多贡献,由于contribution是可数名词;故用contributions.
69.was served 考查时态与语态 根据上文可知,此处指的是发生在12世纪到15世纪之间的事情,应使用一般过去时;由于动词短语serve to与主语which(关系代词,指代先行词The words )构成动宾关系,故用was served.
70.whether 考查从属连词 本句的意思是:将来英语是否会继续变化这个问题很容易回答;此处用在介词of之后,引导宾语从句,意为"是否",故用whether.
