[答案简析] 通过阅读，我们知道这是一篇关于英语词汇和读音的演变。

1. words。意思是“一些新的词汇是借用于其他语言”。

2. great。“巨大的变化”为great change。

3. many。words为可数名词的复数形式，用many修饰。

4. French。从前文…were borrowed into English from…可知应填Fre nch(法语)。

5. another。大约500年前，英语又发生了变化。

6. much。英语发音虽然有了变化，但拼写没有太多的变化。

7. same。拼写还是和原来相同。

8. tell。前一句用shows，很显然，此处应用tell表示“告诉”。

9. example。这里是在举例子。For example意为“例如”。 10. why。由于英语在拼写方面没有太大的变化，而在读音上发生了变化。这就是学英语的学生拼写容易出错的原因。
