【解析】

試題分析：本文講述了世界上存在各種不同的語言，而每種語言有包含有廣泛的詞匯。我們所學(xué)習(xí)和掌握到的永遠(yuǎn)只是一部分，但是字典的存在可以幫助我們解決許多對(duì)生詞的疑惑，字典是非常有用的語言學(xué)習(xí)工具。

1.living ，人們生活在不同的國家是一個(gè)現(xiàn)在進(jìn)行的狀態(tài)，應(yīng)該選用一般現(xiàn)在時(shí)living。

2.languages ，根據(jù)下一句Each contains many thousands of words可以看出這里說的是世界上有許多種語言，故填language的復(fù)數(shù)形式。

3.or/to， A very large dictionary, for example, contains four ____ five hundred thousand words.數(shù)字的表達(dá)，這里可以說四十萬或五十萬也可以說四十萬到五十萬，故填or或者to。

4.all ，根據(jù)下一句To read short stories you need to know only about two thousand words說在閱讀短的故事是僅需兩千詞匯可推斷這里是說全部詞匯，故填all。

5.Before ， _ you leave school, you will learn only one thousand or more.根據(jù)句意和“will”可以判斷是在離開學(xué)校之前，你會(huì)學(xué)到僅一千詞匯或者多一點(diǎn)，故填Before。

6.bigger ，make your vocabulary_,很顯然這里是要形容詞的比較級(jí)，提示詞為big，故填bigger，注意此比較級(jí)需要雙寫末尾字母。

7.written，There are a lot of books _ __ (write) in easy English.此句結(jié)構(gòu)很明顯需要用被動(dòng)語態(tài)，是許多書被英語寫成，故填written。

8.a ，句意表達(dá)的是一個(gè)新單詞，單詞是可數(shù)名詞，故填a。

9.up，look it _ ___ in your dictionary，在字典里查閱單詞，look up查閱、查找，考查固定搭配，故填up。

10.most，通過全文可知，作者旨在強(qiáng)調(diào)字典的作用，字典是最有用的工具書，由提示詞可知應(yīng)填most。

考點(diǎn)：考查單詞與語法
