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.
The empire once controlled so much of the world when it was said【M1】______
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】______
English, someone would have to explain it to you what many【M6】______
words mean.
    England has product many famous writers since Chaucer.【M7】______
They include such poets as John Milton and Percy Bysshe Shelley
and such novelists as Jane Austen and Charles Dickens. England is
also known for its theater. That art has remained important since
the time of playwright William Shakespeare some 400 years ago.
England’s Oxford and Cambridge are two of the oldest universities
in the world. The country’ s contributions of classical and folk【M8】______
music, as well as to rock and roll, are also important. It’s not hard【M9】______

performers such as the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, and David
Bowie. The English also discovered two of the world’ s most【M10】______
popular sports: football(known as "soccer" in the United States)
and cricket.

选项
答案not一去掉not
解析 语篇错误。前一句提到英国对流行和古典音乐也有重要的贡献，所以可以推断“如果没有英国著名的表演者例如披头士……”，应该是“难”以想象摇滚乐会如何发展。若用not hard，则与文章语义相反，不符合逻辑，应将not删掉。
