维度四 课文语法填空
As far as I am concerned,English is not alone in 1.borrowing(borrow) words from other languages—borrowed words can be found in almost all languages.
Word borrowing comes about when two cultures with different languages interact.At first,the borrowed word is only used by bilingual speakers.It then spreads to people 2.who do not know the original language,and they will change the pronunciation to fit the way they speak,almost unknowingly.Over time,the sounds that are difficult to pronounce 3.have been replaced (replace) with more familiar ones.The longer a borrowed word has been in use,the more it sounds and even looks like the native language.
4.However,some language communities oppose adopting words from other cultures.Some languages with 5.an extremely small number of speakers reject outside influences in order to survive.While some communities are pessimistic 6.about the exchange between languages,there are also other communities that 7.readily(ready) welcome borrowed words.English,especially,is based on a mix of Latin,Greek and Germanic languages.Borrowing words allows the language 8.to continue (continue) to develop,enabling the community to have a more efficient language,spreading novel ideas and 9.exchanging(exchange) different beliefs more conveniently and quickly.As for the future,the more international and globalized the world becomes,the more language 10.characteristics (characteristic) will be shared between nations and cultures.

Ⅰ.阅读理解
(2022·河北省部分名校高二期中)
There are many challenges such as kayaking(划独木舟)the Colorado River Rapids,climbing to the summit(顶峰)of Qomolangma,mountain biking Colorado’s 100mile Leadville Trail and skydiving solo.Adventurers take on these challenges all the time.One thing that makes an American named Erik Weihenmayer stand out is that he has done them all without the sense of sight.
He is the first blind person to have climbed the tallest peak in every continent.When he was 4 or 5 years old,he was diagnosed with an extremely rare disease called retinoschisis(视网膜劈裂症)and when he finally went blind,he felt it was an unbelievable relief as if the worst thing had happened,so there’s nothing else to lose.
He began rock climbing with the help of a recreational group taking blind kids rock climbing and fell in love with it immediately.He felt it was just for him.It was sort of the full package of adventure,all the things he wouldn’t have as a blind person.He has learned to do the things,which sighted people learn to do with their eyes,with his hands.
He stated,“When people say they climb for the view,I think they’re misunderstanding why we do the things we do.Honestly,the summit is not the destination.The movement is for me the most exciting part.”
As a blind climber,it’s really hard,but he has to accept that suffering.Blindness is just a thing that happened to him.He thinks he likes all challenges and that people have got to use them as a drive to push them in new directions.It’s the idea of turning bad things into good things,and it’s something all could use.
