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. "【C4】________with China and Latin America seeing solid growth, ambitious firms want the language skills that can 【C5】________ the path into new markets," she said.
The 2014 annual education and skills survey by the CBI and Pearson, the educational【C6】________that owns the Financial Times, 【C7】________that 41 percent of the 291 companies surveyed across the UK【C8】________knowledge of a foreign language was【C9】________to their business.

选项
A、unclear
B、obvious
C、expectant
D、measurable
答案
A
解析
考查形容词辨析。联系上下文,可推测此处句意为“政府最近出台的鼓励学校开展语言教育的举措是否会有效果尚不清楚”。A.unclear“不清楚的”,符合题意,为正确答案。obvious“明显的,显著的”,expectant“期待的,预期的”,measurable“可测量的,可预见的”,这三项与文中表达意思相反,故排除。
