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、American culture is becoming more global.
B、Asian culture is greatly influenced by America.
C、American culture is becoming more Asian.
D、Asian culture is becoming more global.

答案 C

解析 新闻中提到两位教授,他们都对此现象都发表了意见,注意本题问的是Schaberg的意见。他的观点是韩语学习走俏对美国文化也有很大影响,美国文化开始更亚洲化(American culture is becoming more Asian)。C内容与此一致,为答案。注意B“亚洲的文化受到美国的巨大影响”与新闻的说法刚好相反了。
