阅读理解Language is always changing. In a society where life continues year after year with few changes, the language does not change either. The earliest known languages had difficult grammar but a small, limited vocabulary. Over the century, the grammar changed, and the vocabulary grew. For example, the English and Spanish people who came to America during the sixteenth century gave names to all the new plants and animals they found. In this way, hundreds of new words were introduced into English and Spanish vocabularies. Today life is changing very fast, and language is changing fast too.There are several major(主要) language families in the world. Some scientists say there are nine main families, but other scientists divide them differently. The languages in each family are connected, and scientists think that they came from the same parent language. About 3 percent of the people in the world speak languages that are not in these major families.1.The early language had ________.A.a lot of problemsB.words and easy grammarC.words but no grammarD.grammar but not many words2.In the next few hundred years we can expect language to _____.A.stay exactly the sameB.change a great dealC.change only a littleD.ask more words and drop some grammar3.What this article shows is that _____.A.languages change fastB.languages really don't want to changeC.language really with changes in societyD.Spanish and English change
