解析

1. office official 词汇错误。Officer意为“长官，官员”用于此处，句意不通。“官方语言”应用official language来表示，故将officer 改为official.

2. of of 或comprises consists 词汇错误。comprise 为及物动词，表示“由…… 组成”，后面不需要跟介词of，故将of删掉。此外，consist of 也表示“由…… 组成”，因此本题可将comprises of 给为consists.

3. rough roughly 词汇错误。形容词rough 不能修改动词divided, 故此处需将形容词rough改为副词roughly，表示“粗略地，大致地”。

4. father further 词汇错误。father意为“更远的”通常用以表示具体地理空间的距离，用于此处，明显不妥。只有further可用以表示抽象意义的“更加”或“进一步”的意思，故此处需要用further。

5. scared sacred 词汇错误。逗号后面的the……book是作Quran（古兰经）的同位语，对其进行补充说明。过去分词scared作形容词表示“害怕的”，而形容词sacred意为“神圣的”，古兰经是伊斯兰宗教种的圣书，故用sacred符合语义。

6. speaks speak 语法错误。分析句子结构，who引导的定语从句修饰Arabs，根据主谓一致的原则，此动词应该配合复数名词Arabs而改为复数形式speak。 7. and but语篇错误。根据句意“没人知道阿拉伯语最初发展于何时”以及“阿拉伯半岛的人最先使用它”，可看出两个分句之间并非是并列关系，而是转折关系，故将and改为but.

8. first^ to 语法错误。在people…use it 中谓语动词为were，故use不能用动词原形，只能用动词的非谓语形式。此处在use前加to，用不定式做后置定语修饰the first，表示“最先使用阿拉伯语的人”，符合上下文语义。

9. played^ an词汇错误。play a role in…是固定搭配，意为“在……方面起作用”。此处的played后面缺少不定冠词，且由于increasingly是以元音开头的词，故需

要在played后加上不定冠词an。

10. In As词汇错误。As a result为固定搭配，意为“作为结果，因此”，故将In改为As。此外意为“因此，阿拉伯语已经成为目前国际经济和政治中使用的一门主要语言。”

Arabic a.阿拉伯人的 comprise vt.构成，组成

official a.官方的 dialect n.方言 Saudi a.特阿拉伯的 Sudanese a.苏丹的 subdivide vt.细分

roughly ad.粗略地，大致地 Egyptian a.埃及的

Tunisian a.突尼斯的

descendant n.后裔，后代 alphabet n.字母表
