Question

20．Language is always changing and developing．This isn't a bad thing．If English hadn't changed for a long time，we won't have words to describe telephones，washing machines，computers or some other new things．
  Language changes for several reasons．First，it changes because the needs of its speaker change．New technologies，new products，and new experiences need new words to express them clearly．Another reason for change is that different people have different language experiences．People use different sets of words and expressions，because they have different ages，jobs，education levels（水平） and so on．
  How does language develop then？On the one hand，many of the languages changes begin with young people．When young people communicate with others of their own age，their language grows in grammar，words and expressions that are different from the older people's．Some have a short lifetime but others can influence the language for long．On the other hand，we get new words in many different ways．We borrow them from other languages，we create them by making words shorter or combining words and we make them out of proper names．
  Languages that don't change over time are considered dead languages．The fact that English changes so much shows that it is alive and well．

Answer 1

分析 語言是不斷變化和發(fā)展的，這不是一件壞事，如果英語沒有長時間進(jìn)行改變，我們將沒有語言來描述電話、洗衣機(jī)、電腦或者其他一些新東西．
語言變化有幾個原因．首先，他改變是因為說話人改變的需要．新技術(shù)、新產(chǎn)品、新體驗需要新的詞匯來表達(dá)，變化的另一個原因是，不同的人有不同的語言經(jīng)驗．人們使用不同的詞匯和表達(dá)方式，因為他們有不同的年齡、工作、教育程度等．語言是如何發(fā)展的呢？一方面，許多語言的變化開始于年輕人．當(dāng)年輕人與其他人交流時，他們的語言在語法、詞匯和表達(dá)方式上都與老年人不同．有些人有短暫的一生但其他人會長久影響語言．另一方面，我們在許多不同的方式中得到新的詞匯．我們借用其他語言，我們通過把單詞縮短或組合單詞，然后把它們從適當(dāng)?shù)拿�字中�?chuàng)造出來．
不隨時間而變化的語言被認(rèn)為是死亡的語言，英語變化如此之多，這一事實表明他很活躍，而且很好．

解答 71．not a bad thing 細(xì)節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)"Language is always changing and developing．This isn't a bad thing．"可知作者認(rèn)為語言的發(fā)展變化不是壞事情，故答案為not a bad thing．
72．a(chǎn)ges，jobs 細(xì)節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)"People use different sets of words and expressions，because they have different ages，jobs，education levels and so on．"可知人們用不同的單詞和短語，因為他們有不同的年齡、工作和受教育水平等．故答案為ages，jobs．
73．two．細(xì)節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)"First，it changes because the needs of its speaker change．"和"Another reason for change is that different people have different language experiences．"可知本文提到了語言變化的兩個原因，故答案為two．
74．communicate with 細(xì)節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)"When young people communicate with others of their own age，their language grows in grammar，words and expressions that are different from the older people's．"可知年輕人和同齡人交流時，他們的語言在語法、詞匯和短語不同于年長的人．故此處為communicate with．
75．doesn't change 細(xì)節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)"Languages that don't change over time are considered dead languages．"可知不隨著時間而變化的語言被認(rèn)為是死語言．先行詞The one為三單，故從句中的謂語動詞用does，故答案為doesn't change．

點評 本題題型與常做的選擇題型不同，也不同于寫答句．只需要在原文中找到相對應(yīng)的原句，找出所缺的信息，然后根據(jù)所給的答句內(nèi)容，來變化其形式，組成完整的答句．
