问题     The richness of our languages is considered by many to be the
distinctive and crowing achievement in human evolution. Language
provides us for the means to communicate ideas, emotions and【M1】______
knowledge and express our cultural identity. In Europe different
languages are a fact of life. The European Union considers the diversity
of tongues as an inalienable component of our cultural heritage; but【M2】______
the principle of language equality is present in Europe’s founding
treaties. Preserving linguistic diversity has been at heart of its policy【M3】______
from the very beginning. However, linguistic diversity demands a
sustain and substantial investment. For example, the European【M4】______
institutions spend considerable portions of their operational budgets on
translation and interpretation services. For European industry and
business language diversity is a challenge or an asset, as the【M5】______
Commission has recently pointed out in its first Communication ever
on a new strategic framework for multilingualism. What is sure that【M6】______
early investment in multilingual communication technologies can
provide rapid access to new and emerging markets anywhere in the
world—the factor that is vital for the long-run success of Europe. The【M7】______
ability to access and use information across the languages is vital for【M8】______
citizens, governments, and commerce. And human languages
technologies can play an important role for enabling easy【M9】______
communication between people, administrations and businesses.
The European Union, in collaboration with the Member States,
have sponsored over the last 20 years several R&D actions which【M10】______
have contributed to building expertise, resources and a pan-European
language infrastructure. [br] 【M4】
选项
答案 sustain→sustained
解析 词汇误用。sustain意为“支撑，维持”，为动词，不能修饰investment，而其过去分词sustained可用作形容词，意为“持续的”，a sustained and substan—tial investment的意思是“持续的实质意义上的投资”。
