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、smooth
B、open
C、prepare
D、stimulate
答案
A
解析
考查动词辨析。此处句意为“…拥有远大抱负的企业希望招聘那些拥有相应语言技能的人才,为进入这些新市场______道路,…”,smooth the path为固定搭配,意为“铺平道路,促进”,符合题意,故A.smooth为正确答案。open“打开”,prepare“准备”,stimulate“刺激”,均不符合题意,故排除。
