填词补文
解析

1.此处需要填一个形容词作定语。根据后半句“with the exception of Chinese”判断前面应该用形容词的最高级,故largest为正确答案。largest非常适合此句语境:现在除汉语外,说英语的人构成了世界上最大的语言群体。

2.此处的定语从句缺少谓语,因此需要填一个动词。备选单词中有三个动词:belongs, speak和 settled。此处前半句为过去时,根据时态一致原则,此处也应该用过去时,故belongs和 speak都被排除掉。此外, settle in为固定词组,意思是“安顿下来,在……定居”。

3.此处系动词 became后需要填一个形容词作表语,这个形容词还要和后面的 to each other搭配,纵观备选单词中的几个形容词:largest已用过,same, international, national和native放在此处句意不通,也排除,故 similar为正确答案。similar to为常见搭配,此句意思是“他们的语言变得越来越相似”。

4.此处介词of后应填名词。根据此句主语 speech communities判断此空应填“communities”。此句意思是“语言社区和其他社区类似”。

5.此题需要填一个动词作谓语。备选单词中有三个动词: belongs, speak和 settled其中 settled前面已选过,排除掉; belong后面不能直接接宾语,应该与to搭配使用,也排除掉，故 speak为此题的正确答案。 speak language也是常见搭配。

6.此处需要填一个动词作谓语。备选单词中的动词只剩下 belongs, belong to属于固定搭配,意思是“属于”。 belongs非常适合此处语境:可以这么说,讲英语的人都属于英语语言社区。

7.此处需要填一个名词 for the purpose of属于常见搭配,意思是“为了…”,符合语境。

8. 此处需要填一个形容词。备选单词中有六个形容词: international, national, same native, similar, largest。由于此空前面是冠词an这几个形容词中只有 international前面用an。

9. 此处需要填一个名词。 language非常适合此处语境:此外,英语也是大多数出版材料使用的语言……

10.此句不缺少句子成分,因此此处需要填一个副词修饰动词词组 rely on。备选单词中只有一个副词 heavily. heavily也非常适合此处语境:教育已非常依靠对英语的掌握。
