【解析】

試題分析：本文介紹英語(yǔ)作為世界通用語(yǔ)言，在世界一些地區(qū)形成了別具特色的地域英語(yǔ)。

【1】is spoken English和speak之間是被動(dòng)關(guān)系，表示客觀事實(shí)用一般現(xiàn)在時(shí)態(tài)，故填is spoken。

【2】It 此處是it作形式主語(yǔ)，真正的主語(yǔ)是后面的動(dòng)詞不定式，故填it。

【3】from 固定搭配tell...from...，意為“把……和……區(qū)分開”，故填from。

【4】widely 副詞修飾動(dòng)詞，故填widely。

【5】correctness 句意：只要能互相聽得懂，正確并不重要。此處名詞作主語(yǔ)，故填correctness。

【6】who 在這里prisoners作先行詞，指人，后面是一個(gè)定語(yǔ)從句，從句缺少引導(dǎo)詞和主語(yǔ)，故填who。

【7】passed 句意：土著的很多單詞進(jìn)入到英語(yǔ)中。描述過去的事情，故用一般過去時(shí)態(tài)，故填passed。

【8】But 句意：但主要的區(qū)分在于獨(dú)特的發(fā)音和語(yǔ)調(diào)模式。前后表示轉(zhuǎn)折，故填But。

【9】spoken 此處是過去分詞作后置定語(yǔ)，故填spoken。

【10】other 表示“世界的另一邊”，故填other。
