Answer 1

分析 本文主要介绍了英语将变得越来越重要，英语也会被广泛使用，我们应当努力学好英语．

解答 61．spoken，考查过去分词，此处是过去分词短语作后置定语，speak和language之间是被动关系，所以用spoken．
62．where，考查定语从句，先行词为42countries，在从句中作地点状语，也可以用in which．
63．are found，考查被动语态，主语为"most native speakers of English，绝大多数以英语为母语的人"，和find之间是被动关系，并且文章说的是现在，所以用一般现在时态的被动．
64．An，考查固定搭配，a number of"大量的"，number前的形容词equal是以元音开头的，所以用an，放在句子开头要大写．
65．is，考查主谓一致，主语为"te number of people who learn English as a foreign language"，the number of+复数名词作主语时，谓语用单数形式．
66．widely，考查分词用法，修饰过去副词spoken应该用副词．
67．to learn，考查不定式，"be requested to do sth．被要求做某事．"所以用不定式作 宾补．
68．using，考查现在分词，主语"Chinese businessmen，taxi drivers and student"和use是主动关系，所以用现在分词作方式状语．
69．on，考查介词用法，on the radio固定搭配，意思为："通过收音机"．
70．it，考查it的用法，本句主语为后面的不定式to have a good knowledge of English，当不定式作主语时，常用it作形式主语．

点评 本题主要考查了用单词或短语的适当形式填空．做本题的关键是在理解短文的基础上，灵活运用所学的基础知识．本题考到的知识点有：固定的短语，词类的转换，名词的复数形式，副词以及祈使句的用法等．因此，这就需要在平时的学习中，牢固掌握各语言点及一些语法知识．
