30、nglish began to be spoken in both countries.解析文章大意：本文主要讲述了英语随着时间的推移而改变的原因。1考查状语从句。根据句子结构可知应填状语从句的从属连词，再根据句意“那么，为什么英语随着时间的推移而改变呢？当文化接触和互相交流时，实际上所有的语言都会变化和发展。”可知填时间状语从句的连词“when当的时候”符合语境。故填when。2考查非谓语动词。因空处是修饰前面的名词English的，作定语，再因名词English和speak之间存在着被动关系，即英语被说，所以用过去分词短语作定语，表被动。故填spoken。3考查比较级。根据空前的“more
31、”和句意“比(than)起我们现在说的英语它更多的是以德语为基础的。”可知填than。4考查副词。因在句中作状语，所以应该用副词。故填gradually。5考查时态。因本句because从句中用的是一般过去时，可知是发生在过去，所以用一般过去时。故填became。6考查定语从句。先行词those在句中指人，关系词在定语从句中作主语。故填who。7考查副词。根据空前的first(先)，可知后面应该填later(后来)才符合上下文的逻辑关系。故填later。8考查固定词组。make use of “利用”是固定搭配。故填of。9考查名词。空处作主语，意为“移民”，所以应该用名词，又因前面用some可知是“一些殖民者”，所以用复数。故填settlers。10考查被动语态。根据句意“后来在18世纪一些英国人也被带到澳大利亚”可知应该用过去时的被动语态，又因主语people是复数。故填were taken。
