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.

选项
A、happiness
B、worry
C、surprise
D、sadness
答案
B
解析
考查名词辨析。此处句意为“令人________的是,我们学校中的外语学习正在承受压力,每五所学校中,…”。联系上下文可知,外语学习者人数下降是一件令人担忧的事。故B.worry“担忧”符合题意,为正确答案。其他三项happiness、surprise和sadness均不符合题意,故排除。
