36.____________　37.____________　38.____________　39.____________　40.____________
41.____________　42.____________　43.____________　44.____________　45.____________

答案： 36.is caused 考查动词的时态和语态。句意:造成这个问题的部分原因是英语单词的各种起源。分析句子结构可知，所设空处作谓语，根据语境，本句讲述客观事实，应用一般现在时，cause与Part of the problem之间为动宾关系，因此应用被动语态。故填is caused。
37.sources 考查名词复数。句意:德语、拉丁语、法语和希腊语都是常见的来源，每种语言都遵循不同的拼写规则。分析句子结构可知，所设空处为表语，根据其前的all可知应用名词复数。故填sources。
38.memorizing 考查非谓语动词。句意:一些英语学习者知道，记住英语单词拉丁词根是扩大词汇量的好方法，因为许多拉丁词根的单词是在诺曼人征服后从法语进入英语的。分析句子结构可知，该句为主系表结构，“memorizing the Latin roots of English words”作主语，所以可用动词 -ing形式作主语。故填memorizing。
39.as 考查介词。句意:诺曼人使用法语作为宫廷语言，将古英语从官方用语中淘汰了大约300年。根据句意可知，此处应用介词as。故填as。
40.actually 考查副词。句意:实际上没有固定的拼写形式。分析句子结构可知，所设空处作状语，所以应用副词形式。故填actually。
41.froze 考查动词的时态。句意:直到15世纪，印刷机的使用和书籍的大规模发行将单词的拼写固定了下来。分析句子结构可知，所设空处作谓语，根据时间状语“Until the 15th century”可知，应用一般过去时。故填froze。
42.pronunciation 考查名词。句意:我们今天使用的拼写系统是基于当时的发音。分析句子结构可知，“the pronunciation of that time”作宾语，所以应用名词。故填pronunciation。
43.to remember 考查非谓语动词。句意:英语拼写改革的支持者认为用规则的拼写规则替换单词会使它们更容易被记住。作表语或宾语补足语的形容词后常跟不定式作补足成分，所以在easier之后用不定式形式，意为“记起来更容易”。故填to remember。
44.which 考查定语从句。分析句子结构可知，“on which English is based today”是非限制性定语从句，修饰先行词the spelling system，在定语从句中使用了固定短语be based on...(以……为基础)，该先行词作介词on的宾语。故填which。
45.helping 考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知，“helping readers understand the origins of words”作伴随状语，所给词help(帮助，有助于)与句中主语之间为主动关系，所以应用动词 -ing形式。故填helping。

Last week, an English speech contest on “The Power of Voluntary Work” was held in our school. Students from different grades participated in the competition. By sharing some of their most unforgettable volunteering experiences, 20 contestants deeply impressed the audience with their vivid stories, feelings and insights. The judges, consisting of our headmaster and teachers, also commented on each student's performance and finally selected the best three.
As most of the students say, this activity will be very helpful for the better understanding of volunteering work among middle school students. More activities of this kind are expected in the future.
