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】______.

选项
A、guarded
B、followed
C、tied
D、confirmed
答案
B
解析
考查动词辨析。联系上题可知此处句意为“欧洲语言——法语、德语和西班牙语——仍在企业想要的外语技能排行榜上高居榜首,但______就是汉语普通话和阿拉伯语”。B.followed与by搭配,表示“紧随其后,其后是”的意思,符合题意,为正确答案。其他三项,guard“保卫,守护”,tie“系,连接”,confirm“确认”,均不符合题意,故排除。
