Monolingualism, that is, the ability to use only one language, is such a
widely accepted norm in so many parts of the world that it is often assumed to
be a world-wide phenomenon, at the extent that bilingual and multilingual in- (1)______
dividuals may appear to be "unusual". Indeed, we often have mixed feeling (2)______
when we discover that someone we meet is fluent in several languages: per
haps mixture of admiration and envy but also, occasionally, a feeling of supe- (3)______
riority in that many such people are not native to the culture which we func- (4)______
tion:they are likely to be immigrants, visitors, or children of "mixed" marria
ges and in that respect "marked" in some way. Although, in many parts of the (5)______
world an ability to speak more than one language is not at all remarkable. In
fact, a monolingual individual would be regarded as a misfit, lacking of an im- (6)______
portant skill in society, the skill of being able to interact freely with the
speakers of other languages with whom regular contact is made in the ordina
ry business of living. In many parts of the world it is just a normal requirement
of daily living which people speak several languages: perhaps one or more at (7)______
home, another in the village, still another for purposes of trade, and yet
another for contact with the outside world of wide social or political organiza- (8)______
tion. These various languages are usually acquired naturally and unselfcon
sciously, as the shifts from one to another are made without hesitation. (9)______
People’s language choices are part of the social identity they acclaim for (10)______
themselves. [br]
选项
答案
acclaim—claim
解析
动词误用。acclaim与claim外表相似,但意思不同,acclaim是及物动词,意思是“向……欢呼,向……喝彩,称赞”;claim也是及物动词,是“声称,要求(应得权利);拥有”的意思。句意为“人们的语言选择是为自己表明社会身份的一部分。”因此应使用claim(the social identity)。
