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.

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】______.

选项
A、happiness
B、worry
C、surprise
D、sadness
答案
B
解析
考查名词辨析。此处句意为“令人______的是,我们学校中的外语学习正在承受压力,每五所学校中,…”。联系上下文可知,外语学习者人数下降是一件令人担忧的事。故B.worry“担忧”符合题意,为正确答案。其他三项happiness、surprise和sadness均不符合题意,故排除。
