【解析】

試題分析：本文敘述了杭州話將要消失。現(xiàn)在，普通話是官方語言，人們在政府機構(gòu)，商業(yè)機構(gòu)，以及學校，都在用普通話。杭州的年輕人雖然也說杭州話，但是沒有他們的父母或祖父母說得好。因為在日常生活中，他們說普通話的機會越來越多，說杭州話就越來越少�，F(xiàn)在人們想通過建立博物館或語言節(jié)來加強杭州話的學習，但是如果在日常生活中人們停止使用它，博物館或節(jié)日都起不了作用。

1.句意：杭州話將是其中之一。 此處用代詞them代替即將消失的語言，因位于介詞of之后，故用賓格形式。

2.句意：它是更多人要問的問題。根據(jù)Will Hangzhouhua be one of 61)________? 可知這是一個問題。因有冠詞a 修飾，故用單數(shù)名詞question。

3.句意：那就意味著它是政府語言。根據(jù)In China, Putonghua is the official language. 可知普通話是官方的語言，這就意味著公共場所都說普通話。因主語是that, 故此處用第三人稱單數(shù)形式means。

4.句意：它也是在學校使用的語言。結(jié)合句意，表示被動，故用過去分詞used。?????????????

5.句意：杭州話通過現(xiàn)代，時尚，美麗的方式展示出來。By+doing 通過......。

6.句意：年輕人雖然仍然說杭州話，但是不像他們的父母和祖父母說的那么好。as well as和......一樣好。?????????????

7.句意：所以杭州話在日常生活中被說的越來越少。根據(jù)They are under more and more pressure to speak Putonghua. 可知生活中他們說普通話越來越多，因此說杭州話越來越少。故此處用形容詞less。

8.句意：但是一種語言不是一幅畫也不是一本書。在否定句中，表示并列關(guān)系，用連詞or。?????????????

9.句意：它是一種活生生的東西，你要么使用它，要么失去它。Either......， or.......要么......，要么......。

10.句意：如果在日常生活中人們停止使用它，博物館或節(jié)日都起不了作用。stop doing sth. 停止做某事。

考點：短文填空。
