Actually all languages change and develop _1.when_ cultures meet and municate with each other. At first the English _2.spoken_(speak)in England between about AD 450 and 1150 was very different from the English spoken today. It was based more on German _3.than_ the English we speak at present. Then _4.gradually_(gradual) between about AD 800 and 1150，English _5.became_(bee) less like German because those _6.who_ ruled England spoke first Danish and _7.later_(late) French. These new settlers enriched the English language and especially its vocabulary. So by the 1600s Shakespeare was able to make use _8.of_ a wider vocabulary than ever before. In 1620 some British _9.settlers_(settle) moved to America. Later in the 18th century some British people _10.were_taken_(take) to Australia too. English began to be spoken in both countries.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。解析：1考查状语从句。根据句子结构可知该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产生变化和发展的。”可知填时间状语从句的连词“when当的时候”符合语境之意。故填when。2考查非谓语动词。因空后面的短语“(speak)in England between about AD 450 and 1150 ”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”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。”故填than。4考查副词。因在句中作状语，所以该用副词。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。因空及后面的句中“_ruled England”是修饰前面的代词those(那些人)的，所以是定语从句。因先行词是those是指人的词，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。因make use of “利用”是固定搭配。故填of。9考查名词。因作主语，意为“殖民者”，所以该用名词，又因前面用some可知是“一些殖民者”，所以得用复数。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”可知该用过去时的被动语态，又因主语people是复数。故填were taken。
