Nearly two-thirds of businesses in the UK want to recruit staff with foreign language skills. French is still the most highly prized language, but Spanish and Mandarin speakers are more【B1】______demand than in the past.
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. "【B4】______with China and Latin America seeing solid growth, ambitious firms want the language skills that can【B5】______the path into new markets," she said.
The 2014 annual education and skills survey by the CBI and Pearson, the educational【B6】______that owns the Financial Times,【B7】______that 41 percent of the 291 companies surveyed across the UK【B8】______knowledge of a foreign language was【B9】______to their business. European languages—French, German and Spanish—still【B10】______the list in terms of desirability, but these were closely【B11】______by Mandarin and Arabic.
Ms Hall said it was【B12】______whether recent government initiatives to encourage language learning in schools would have any【B13】______. "It has been a【B14】______to see foreign language study in our schools under pressure with one in five schools having a【B15】______low take-up of languages," she said. "Young people【B16】______their future subject choices should be made more【B17】______of the benefits to their careers that can【B18】______from studying a foreign language."
The number of students studying foreign languages has【B19】______in the past decade. In January, the UK Commission for Employment and Skills said the number of "skills shortage vacancies" had risen from 16 per cent of all【B20】______in 2009 to 22 per cent in 2013.
【B10】
选项
A、topped
B、accounted
C、evaded
D、controlled
答案
A
解析
此处句意为“欧洲语言——法语、德语和西班牙语——仍在企业想要的外语技 能排行榜上——”,根据第二段的it was no surprise to see European languages so highly valued及此句中的still,可知,欧洲语言仍处于企业想要的外语技能排行榜上的榜首位置。 故A.topped“为……之首,居……之冠”,符合题意,为正确答案。account“解释,导致”, evade“逃避,躲避”,control“控制”,均不符合题意,故排除。
