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.

European languages—French, German and Spanish—still 【C10】______ the list in terms of desirability, but these were closely【C11】______by Mandarin and Arabic.
Ms Hall said it was【C12】______whether recent government initiatives to encourage language learning in schools would have any【C13】______.

选项
A、unclear
B、obvious
C、expectant
D、measurable
答案
A
解析
考查形容词辨析。联系上下文,可推测此处句意为“政府最近出台的鼓励学校开展语言教育的举措是否会有效果尚不清楚”。A.unclear“不清楚的”,符合题意,为正确答案。obvious“明显的,显著的”,expectant“期待的,预期的”,measurable“可测量的,可预见的”,这三项与文中表达意思相反,故排除。
