Who hasn’t wanted to master not just two languages but 10? Take Giuseppe Mezzofanti, a 19th-century priest who was said to be(1)_____ in as many as 50 languages. Native speakers came from all over the world to test his(2)_____, and many left astonished.
In Babel No More, Michael Erard investigates the legend of Mezzofanti and(3)_____ linguistic geniuses.(4)_____on Erard asks what it means to really know a language. Claire Kramsch tells him the question(5)_____ not be "How many languages do you know?" but rather "In how many languages do you live?" Understanding the(6)_____ cultural difference of a language requires extensive and(7)_____ contact with its speakers, and for that reason Kramsch (8)_____ that anyone could ever live in more than four or five languages.
Fair enough,(9)_____ what about the astonishing feats of memory and calculation that people display when they(10)_____ up a new language, or eight? Erard points out that, for no good reason, this question has been(11)_____ by science. After all, we study extraordinary(12)_____ in mathematics and music; why not linguistic geniuses?
Erard(13)_____down Mezzofanti’s papers, speaks to many language experts and even learns that some bilingual people experience mental illness in one(14)_____ but not another. Most interestingly, he (15)_____ a group of modem linguistic geniuses.

Unlike Mezzofanti, their goal was not to(19)_____ but to do—see the world, read the local paper and not get(20)_____.

选项
A、answered
B、tackled
C、neglected
D、rejected
答案
C
解析
空格前的for no good reason“无缘无故地”以及后文wby not linguistic geniuses表明关于语言的研究没有进行,故这个问题被科学界neglected“忽视”了。answered“回答”和tackled“解决”都与why not矛盾;rejected“抵制”。
