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. 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】________ . "It has been a【C14】________to see foreign language study in our schools under pressure with one in five schools having a【C15】________low take-up of languages," she said.

选项
A、significance
B、function
C、impact
D、response
答案
C
解析
考查名词辨析。联系上下文可知,此处在讲述政府鼓励学校开展语言教育的举措是否会有效果。故C.impact“影响,效果”,符合题意,为正确答案。significance“意义”,在这里不符合题意,因为政府此举意义明确,是为了鼓励学生学习外语。function“功能,作用”,response“回应”。均不符合题意,故排除。
