问题     English is one of the world’s most widely spoken languages.
This is partly because it was the language of the British Empire.

that the Sun never set on the British Empire.
    England, the birthplace of English, takes on most of the island【M2】______
of Great Britain. It is one of the four land that form the United【M3】______
Kingdom. The English that people speak there today is quite
differed from the English that was spoken long ago. If you were【M4】______
read a book by Geoffrey Chaucer, one of the early writers of【M5】______

words mean.

选项
答案 ∧read一to
解析 语法错误。were read为动词过去式的被动语态，此处“你”和读书在逻辑上是主动关系，故此种说法有误。根据if可以猜测这里是用虚拟语气，表示对将来情况的主观推测。主句为should／would／could／might+do，从句用if+主语+were to do的形式。此处符合这种用法，故加上to，整句意为“如果你要读一本杰弗里·乔叟(英国早期作家之一)的书。你不得不接受某人为你解释其中许多词语的意思。”
