About a century ago more people would not have appreciated the study of a foreign language as they do today. Gone are those days when patriotism (爱国主义) towards one’s own language was a major obstacle to learning foreign languages, a time when most nations were trying to throw their alien (外国的) rulers out of their countries in their freedom struggles.
Gone are those days when people were proud of their mother or father tongues and considered that their native languages alone will meet the need to survive. Language skills today have become as important as other business and career skills like IT, vocational or professional skills. Thus learning a foreign language today has become essential for an individual whether it is for careers, growing a business, or even to make an impression.
All that one needs to possess these days is a drive to learn a foreign language and there are all kinds of institutes and courses that teach various foreign languages like French, German, Spanish, and Japanese. Today’s world economy has bridged the barriers of race, sex, color and religion and the world has become a smaller place. Today’s businesses also demand language skills to expand and grow in other countries. Tens and hundreds of businesses worldwide are expanding and growing their businesses by promoting them in countries other than their countries of origin. The tremendous growth of the Internet has further increased the demand for language skills. In Canada an official rule also says that all commercial establishments must have their websites created both in English and French, the official languages of the country.
Language can also ease race and border barriers. You are more welcome in an alien nation if you know the language of the people there and can converse in their tongue. People in these countries immediately respect you and think you care about their culture as much as they do because in any culture language is the key identity.
The growth of the Internet requires______.
选项
A、better command of English
B、more commercial establishments
C、more bilingual websites
D、more foreign language skills
答案
D
解析
根据题干中的The growth of the Internet将本题出处定位到第三段倒数第二句。该句提到,网络的急速发展进一步增加了对语言技能的需要,也就是说,网络的发展需要更多的语言技能。故答案为[D]。语言技能不一定就是指对英语的掌握,可能指对法语等语言的掌握,且只有对母语非英语的人来说,command of English才属于foreign language skills,故排除[A];[B]不是网络发展的结果,故排除[C]是针对该段末句例子设的干扰项。
