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 us1 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's4 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 times6to learn than other languages. Spelling and pronunciation are
both easy, too. For example, it does not have silent7 like the 'h' in' honest'. If you8a word, you
can spell it without any difficulty. The grammar is also as as possible: only six basic9, 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 ed easily by anyone.
