Katja Hall, deputy director-general of Confederation of British Industry (CBI), said that,【B2】______the EU was the UK’s largest export market, it was no surprise to see European languages so【B3】______valued.

选项
A、persistently
B、unpredictably
C、accidentally
D、irregularly
答案
A
解析
考查副词辨析。此处句意为“…就有一所存在外语学习者人数______下降的现象”。联系上下文可知,外语学习者人数持续下降令人担忧。故A.persistently“持续地”符合题意,为正确答案。unpredictably“不可预见地”,accidentally“偶然地,意外地”,irregularly“不规则地”,均不符合题意,故排除。
