问题     People learn languages all the time, and for all kinds of
reasons. For example, you probably have various reasons to study【M1】______
English than your classmates. But have you ever thought about
creating entirely new language from scratch? There’s been a boom【M2】______
in made-up languages recently, driving by the epic "Lord of the【M3】______
Rings" and other fantasy movies and books. The trend has also
fueled as more and more people venture online. There are【M4】______
websites, discussion boards, and chat rooms that teach how to
build a language, others that share new languages, and some that
seek collaborators. Made-up languages aren’t restricted on Star【M5】______
Trek fans and Esperanto speakers.
    It spends time and determination to create a new language. A【M6】______
creator needs to do more than substitute existing words with
invented ones. There’s rhythm and intonation to consider—how
does the language sound when spoken? If it’s invented for humans【M7】______
in a movie or book, how does biology change the sound? How
does it represent the culture of the people who speak it? Then there
are grammar rules, such as masculine and feminine nouns or verbs,
word order, or the use of irregular verbs. Even if a simple language【M8】______
can take years to develop.
    Yet the new languages don’t have the same sticking power as
real languages like English. As for the made-up languages of
today, there are an infinite number of reason behind their creation.【M9】______
Some people do it as a hobby, another as a way to relax. Some just【M10】______
like the challenge.
【M9】
选项
答案reason--reasons
解析 语法错误。reason为可数名词，当reason被an infinite number of(无限多)修饰时，需要用复数形式，故将reason改为reasons。此外，本句中的there are也提示reason应用复数形式。
