Nearly two-thirds of businesses in the UK want to recruit staff with foreign language skills. French is still the most highly prized language, but Spanish and Mandarin speakers are more 【C1】______ demand than in the past.
Katja Hall, deputy director-general of Confederation of British Industry (CBI), said that,【C2】______the EU was the UK’s largest export market, it was no surprise to see European languages so【C3】______valued. "【C4】______ with China and Latin America seeing solid growth, ambitious firms want the language skills that can【C5】______the path into new markets," she said.
The 2014 annual education and skills survey by the CBI and Pearson, the educational【C6】______that owns the Financial Times, 【C7】______ that 41 percent of the 291 companies surveyed across the UK【C8】______knowledge of a foreign language was 【C9】______ to their business. European languages—French, German and Spanish—still 【C10】______ the list in terms of desirability, but these were closely【C11】______by Mandarin and Arabic.
Ms Hall said it was【C12】______whether recent government initiatives to encourage language learning in schools would have any【C13】______. "It has been a【C14】______to see foreign language study in our schools under pressure with one in five schools having a【C15】______low take-up of languages," she said. "Young people【C16】______their future subject choices should be made more【C17】______of the benefits to their careers that can【C18】______from studying a foreign language."
The number of students studying foreign languages has 【C19】______ in the past decade. In January, the UK Commission for Employment and Skills said the number of "skills shortage vacancies" had risen from 16 per cent of all 【C20】______ in 2009 to 22 per cent in 2013.
【C4】
选项
A、Furthermore
B、Therefore
C、Meanwhile
D、But
答案
D
解析
考查逻辑关系。上一句讲到由于欧盟是英国的最大出口市场,所以英国企业高度重视欧洲语言并不出人意料。而此句大意为“______考虑到中国和拉美市场正呈现稳步增长,拥有远大抱负的企业希望招聘那些拥有相应语言技能的人才…”,很明显两句之间为转折关系。故D.But符合题意,为正确答案。Furthermore“此外,而且”表递进,Therefore“因此,所以"表因果,Meanwhile“同时,期间”表并列,均不符合题意,故排除。
