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.

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.
【B4】
选项
A、Furthermore
B、Therefore
C、Meanwhile
D、But
答案
D
解析
上一句讲到由于欧盟是英国的最大出口市场,所以英国企业高度重视欧洲语 言并不出人意料。而此句大意为“______考虑到中国和拉美市场正呈现稳步增长,拥有远大 抱负的企业希望招聘那些拥有相应语言技能的人才……”,很明显两句之间为转折关系。 故D.But符合题意,为正确答案。Furthermore“此外,而且”表递进,Therefore“因此,所以” 表因果,Meanwhile“同时,期间”表并列,均不符合题意,故排除。
