完形填空
These days, it is easier for us to travel to other countries than ever before. However, there is a big
difficulty that most of us
1 when we meet people in other countries, we cannot communicate with
them. There are
2 where English is still not spoken, though it is the most widely known language. So,
wouldn't it be _
3_ if there was one language that could be understood by anyone anywhere in the world?
Esperanto that was created in 1887 may be the world's
4 truly international language. In fact, although
5 artificial (人造的) languages have been already created, only Esperanto has had much success. Its
learners say that it is about four times
6 to learn than other languages. Spelling and pronunciation are
both easy, too. For example, it does not have silent
7 like the "h" in" honest". If you
8 a word, you
can spell it without any difficulty. The grammar is also as simple as possible: only sixteen basic
9 , no
irregular verbs (不规则动词), only six verb endings.
In short, Esperanto should be attractive (有吸引力的) as a language to learn,
10 there is a
problem: how many people have met anyone who can really speak it? Anyway, we hope that some day
one language can be mastered easily by anyone.
