选项 A、said
B、told
C、talked
D、spoken
答案D
解析 此题属于语意搭配题。speak表示"说话"，着重开口发声，不着重所说的内容，一般为不及物动词，在作为及物动词时，宾语只能是语言(如Chinese/English)、真话(truth)等词，不能接that引导的名词性从句，例如：I have heard him speak of you．原句出现的宾语English说明此处选项spoken正确。选项said表示"说出，说道"，着重所说的话，用直接引语时只能用say，例如：(1)He said little that we didn’t know yet．(2)He said，"I don’t know what happened"．选项told表示"告诉"，兼有嘱托、命令之意，除了较少的情况，如tell the truth/ a lie之外，一般后面接双宾语，tell sb．sth．/to do sth．或tell sb．about sth．例如：She told me to wait for her．选项talked与speak意思相近，一般也用作不及物动词；用作及物动词时，宾语只能是某国语言，或nonsense等词，但talk含有"话是对某人说的"意思，有较强的对答、讨论意味，例如：He went on talking for a long time，but he spoke so．fast that few of us could catch what he said．
