About a century ago more people would not have appreciated the study of a foreign language as they do today. Gone are those days when patriotism (爱国主义) towards one’s own language was a major obstacle to learning foreign languages, a time when most nations were trying to throw their alien (外国的) rulers out of their countries in their freedom struggles.
Gone are those days when people were proud of their mother or father tongues and considered that their native languages alone will meet the need to survive. Language skills today have become as important as other business and career skills like IT, vocational or professional skills. Thus learning a foreign language today has become essential for an individual whether it is for careers, growing a business, or even to make an impression.
All that one needs to possess these days is a drive to learn a foreign language and there are all kinds of institutes and courses that teach various foreign languages like French, German, Spanish, and Japanese. Today’s world economy has bridged the barriers of race, sex, color and religion and the world has become a smaller place. Today’s businesses also demand language skills to expand and grow in other countries. Tens and hundreds of businesses worldwide are expanding and growing their businesses by promoting them in countries other than their countries of origin. The tremendous growth of the Internet has further increased the demand for language skills. In Canada an official rule also says that all commercial establishments must have their websites created both in English and French, the official languages of the country.
Language can also ease race and border barriers. You are more welcome in an alien nation if you know the language of the people there and can converse in their tongue. People in these countries immediately respect you and think you care about their culture as much as they do because in any culture language is the key identity. [br] According to the passage, the world has become smaller because of______.
选项
A、the widespread Internet technology
B、a globalized economy
C、the learning of foreign languages
D、the expansion of businesses
答案
B
解析
根据题干中的the world和smaller将本题出处定位到第三段第二句。该句提到,当今的世界经济已经跨越了种族、性别、肤色和宗教的 障碍,因此世界已经变小了。由此可知,世界变小是因为全球化的经济,故答案为[B],其中的a globalized economy与world economy对应。[A]和[D]是[C]的原因,而非世界变小的原因。
