1考查动词短语。根据句意:曾经,人们梦想着一种世界上每个人都能理解的语言,可知此处应选择dream of,由Once可知时态用一般过去时,故答案填dreamed of。

2考查序数词。根据句意:现在,人类历史上第一次,或许由一种语言——英语,可知此处应选择first,意思是“第一、首先”,故答案填first。

3考查动词。根据句意:2.25人至3亿人把英语作为第二语言,可知此处是说“2.25人至3亿人说它,并把它作为第二语言”,“说”speak,由于这里所描述的是客观事实,所以时态用一般现在时,主语是people,在这里是集体名词,所以speak用其原形,故答案填speak。

4考查形容词比较等级。根据下文most of its common verbs are irregular and it has a large vocabulary它的大多数普通动词都是不规则的,而且词汇量很大,可知此处是说英语不是最容易学的语言,所以应选择easy,由前面的定冠词the,可知应用其最高级形式easiest,故答案填easiest。

5考查代词。根据下文For example, nouns don’t have gender ( 性别) and the usages of verbs are simpler than other languages例如,名词没有性别,动词的用法比其他语言简单,可知此处是说“但是有些事情使它变得简单,所以用it指代“英语”,故答案填it。

6考查副词。根据句意:只有一种形式可以直接与某人对话——“你”,“仅仅”only,故答案填only。

7考查介词。句意:形容词与名词不一致,许多名词也常常是动词。agree with固定搭配,意思是:和意见一致,故答案填with。

8考查动词短语。根据句意:但是英语在许多不同的领域被使用,这里指英语被使用,所以用被动语态,结构为be+动词过去分词,主语是English,所以系动词用is,use的过去分词是used,故答案填is used。
