The English language is the lingua franca (通用语言) of business to an extent not imaginable even a decade ago. Three-quarters of the world’s mail, faxes and e-mails are in English. And each of those figures is growing.
English is now the official language of a number of international companies. The EFTA organization has English as its official language despite the facts that none of its six member countries use it as a native language. The European Community (EC), by contrast, so complicates its affairs by using all nine official languages that 60% of its administration budget goes on translation and interpretation, despite the fact that most of its staff speak English or French.
The first foreign language the Japanese learn is English. Every Japanese child who finishes secondary school will have had an average of eight years of English language instruction, for a total of 1,000 hours. There are over 700 English language training schools in Tokyo alone, as many as there are in all of England. A further 13,000 Japanese students undertake courses, many of which emphasize language as well as technical skills, in America. The shortage of Japanese managers who are able to speak other European languages is far greater, that is a major factor in attracting Japanese firms to Britain rather than anywhere else in the EC.
选项
A、has been the lingua franca of business for a decade
B、began to be used in business a decade ago
C、has been more widely used in business in recent years
D、was not imaginable to be used in business ten years ago
答案
C
解析
本题为句意和段落判断题。第一段第一句的意思并不是:英语变成了商业上使用的通用语言只有十年时间,因此A)不对;也不是十年前才开始使用,B)也不正确;更不是D)所说的十年前使用是不可想象的。该句的意义是:甚至在十年前英语就在一个难以想象的程度上变成了商业上使用的通用语言。现在应用的就更广了。故选C)。
