Katja Hall, deputy director-general of Confederation of British Industry (CBI), said that,【B2】______the EU was the UK’s largest export market, it was no surprise to see European languages so【B3】______valued. "【B4】______with China and Latin America seeing solid growth, ambitious firms want the language skills that can【B5】______the path into new markets," she said.
The 2014 annual education and skills survey by the CBI and Pearson, the educational【B6】______that owns the Financial Times,【B7】______that 41 percent of the 291 companies surveyed across the UK【B8】______knowledge of a foreign language was【B9】______to their business. European languages—French, German and Spanish—still【B10】______the list in terms of desirability, but these were closely【B11】______by Mandarin and Arabic.
Ms Hall said it was【B12】______whether recent government initiatives to encourage language learning in schools would have any【B13】______. "It has been a【B14】______to see foreign language study in our schools under pressure with one in five schools having a【B15】______low take-up of languages," she said. "Young people【B16】______their future subject choices should be made more【B17】______of the benefits to their careers that can【B18】______from studying a foreign language."
The number of students studying foreign languages has【B19】______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【B20】______in 2009 to 22 per cent in 2013.

选项
A、unclear
B、obvious
C、expectant
D、measurable
答案
A
解析
联系上下文,可推测此处句意为“政府最近出台的鼓励学校开展语言教育的举 措是否会有效果尚不清楚”。A.unclear“不清楚的”,符合题意,为正确答案。obvious“明 显的,显著的”,expectant“期待的,预期的”,measurable“可测量的,可预见的”,这三项与文 中表达意思相反,故排除。
