The developments of the English language can be seen in the changes in_________
A、spelling rules
B、sentence order
C、word meaning
D、word forms
【正确答案】：D
【题目解析】： 细节判断题。文章第二段在提到英语发展的一个重要特征时以盎格鲁•撒克逊语言为例，指出其曲折变化形式影响词义，并说我们现在主要是根据词的顺序和功能词汇来表达意思，而这种更古老的语言则通过词形的变化来表达意义（We must now depend largely on word order and function words toconvey the meanings that the older language did by means of changes in the formsof words），因此英语语言的发展就是词汇形式的变化。选项D是正确答案。
