Korean language studies are quickly growing in popularity across the United States. The Modem Language Association says the number of U.S. college students taking a Korean language class rose by almost 45% over the last few years. The group notes that the increase comes at a time when the number of college students taking foreign language classes has declined.
    Many people around the world like the sound of K-pop, Korean popular music. Also, the children of Korean immigrants want to speak to their parents and grandparents in Korean.
    Professor Sung-Ock Sohn teaches Korean classes at UCLA. She says another reason people want to learn the language is the growing economic power of South Korea. Professor David Schaberg, Dean of Humanities at the University of California, says the popularity of Korean language training is also affecting American culture. He says it shows that American culture is becoming more Asian, or at least opening up to more Asian influences. Language researchers say the growing number of U.S. students taking Korean language classes shows no sign of ending anytime soon. Their reasons: the popularity of K-pop and the rising number of Korean-Americans seeking to re-connect with older family members.
5. What is K-pop?
6. Why is Korean gaining popularity in the U.S. recently?
7. What does Professor Schaberg think of this phenomenon?

选项 A、Students learning Korean.
B、Children of Korean immigrants.
C、Korean popular culture.
D、The Korean pop music.

答案 D

解析 新闻从开始就一直围绕着韩语学习的热潮,在新闻前段可以明确听到关于K-pop的解释(K-pop,Korean popular music),故答案是D。A“学习韩语的学生”、B“韩国移民的孩子”是根据新闻主要内容(韩语学习在美国的流行)而捏造的干扰项。C将新闻中的music扩大成了culture。
