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(yǔ)言，人們?cè)谡�府機(jī)構(gòu)，商業(yè)機(jī)構(gòu)，以及學(xué)校，都在用普通話。杭州的年輕人雖然也說(shuō)杭州話，但是沒(méi)有他們的父母或祖父母說(shuō)得好。因?yàn)樵谌粘Ｉ�活中，他們說(shuō)普通話的機(jī)會(huì)越來(lái)越多，說(shuō)杭州話就越來(lái)越少。現(xiàn)在人們想通過(guò)建立博物館或語(yǔ)言節(jié)來(lái)加強(qiáng)杭州話的學(xué)習(xí)，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。
【小題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(yǔ)言，因位于介詞of之后，故用賓格形式。
【小題2】句意：它是更多人要問(wèn)的問(wèn)題。根據(jù)Will Hangzhouhua be one of 61)________? 可知這是一個(gè)問(wèn)題。因有冠詞a 修飾，故用單數(shù)名詞question。
【小題3】句意：那就意味著它是政府語(yǔ)言。根據(jù)In China, Putonghua is the official language. 可知普通話是官方的語(yǔ)言，這就意味著公共場(chǎng)所都說(shuō)普通話。因主語(yǔ)是that, 故此處用第三人稱單數(shù)形式means。
【小題4】句意：它也是在學(xué)校使用的語(yǔ)言。結(jié)合句意，表示被動(dòng)，故用過(guò)去分詞used。 
【小題5】句意：杭州話通過(guò)現(xiàn)代，時(shí)尚，美麗的方式展示出來(lái)。By+doing 通過(guò)......。
【小題6】句意：年輕人雖然仍然說(shuō)杭州話，但是不像他們的父母和祖父母說(shuō)的那么好。as well as和......一樣好。   
【小題7】句意：所以杭州話在日常生活中被說(shuō)的越來(lái)越少。根據(jù)They are under more and more pressure to speak Putonghua. 可知生活中他們說(shuō)普通話越來(lái)越多，因此說(shuō)杭州話越來(lái)越少。故此處用形容詞less。
【小題8】句意：但是一種語(yǔ)言不是一幅畫(huà)也不是一本書(shū)。在否定句中，表示并列關(guān)系，用連詞or。   
【小題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......。
【小題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。
