选项 A、said
B、told
C、talked
D、spoken

答案 D

解析 此题属于语义搭配题。speak意为“说话”,着重开口发声,不着重所说的内容,一般为不及物动词,在作为及物动词时,宾语只能是语言(如Chinese/English)、真话(truth)等少数的词,不能接that引导的名词性从句,例如:I have heard him speak of you.原句出现的宾语English说明,此处选项D) spoken正确。选项A) say意为“说出,说道”,着重所说的话,用直接引语时只能用say,例如:(1) He said little that we didn’t know yet.(2) He said,“I don’t know what happened.”选项B) tell意为“告诉”,兼有嘱托,命令之意,除了较少的情况,如tell the truth/a lie之外,一般后面接双宾语,tell sb. sth./ to do sth.或tell sb. about ste例如:She told me tO wait for her.选项C) talk与speak意思相近,一般也用作不及物动词;用作及物动词时,宾语只能是某国语言,nonsense等词,但talk含有“话是对某人说的”意思,有较强的对答、讨论意味,例如:He went On talking for a long time,but he spoke so fast  that few of us could catch what he said。
