    There is no denying that English is a useful language. The people who speak English today make up the【B1】________ speech community in the world with the exception of speakers of Chinese. Originally they were small tribes of people from northern Europe who【B2】________ in England. Their languages became more and more【B3】________ to each other. Finally, the language had enough uniformity to be used by all speakers in England. The people were united into a speech community through their shared language.
    Speech community is similar to other kinds of【B4】________ The people who make up the community share common language. Often they live side by side, as they do in a neighborhood, a village, or a city. More often they form a whole country. National boundaries, however, are not always the same as the boundaries of a speech community. A speech community is any group of people who【B5】________ the same language no matter where they happen to live.
    We may say that anyone who speaks English【B6】________ to the English speech community. For convenience, we may classify the speakers into two groups; one in which the speakers use English as their native language, the other in which the speakers learn English as a second language for the【B7】________of education, commerce, and so on.
    English serves as an alternative language in several areas of public activity for most nations in the world which employ it as an【B8】________ second language. English has been adopted as the language of air traffic, commerce, as well as international diplomacy. Moreover, English is the【B9】________ of the majority of published materials in the world so that education has come to rely【B10】________ on an understanding of English.
    A. international     B. native             C. speak
    D. belongs           E. purpose            F. language
    G. communities       H. settled            I. similar
    J. same              K. heavily            L. largest
【B3】
选项
答案I
解析 此处系动词became后需要填一个形容词作表语，这个形容词还要和后面的to each other搭配，纵观备选单词中的几个形容词：largest已用过，same，international，national和native放在此处句意不通，也排除，故similar为正确答案。similar to为常见搭配，此句意思是“他们的语言变得越来越相似”，因此此题应选I。
