问题 Every time we open our mouths and speak we【C1】______ourselves — I am English, you may be Bulgarian or African. We are all【C2】______, but sometimes we have communication problems which can lead to【C3】______and misunderstanding.
【C4】______you speak English, you have an advantage. The English language means power and freedom to many people. It【C5】______international relations. It【C6】______nearly all our lives in【C7】______way or another, influencing everything from pop music to【C8】______relations. Yet only around 10% of the world’s population is native English language speakers. Many of you who are reading now will have【C9】______to learn the grammar, vocabulary and【C10】______of this very complicated language. But there【C11】______be another solution: learning Esperanto.
Esperanto, meaning "one who hopes", is an artificial language,【C12】______to be the easiest in the world to learn. It was【C13】______in 1887 by Ludwig Zamnehof, a young Polish optician.
The usefulness of Esperanto has been【C14】______the world over. It is now estimated that around eight million people in over 100 countries have at least some【C15】______of it.
In Esperanto, we have a language that is easy to learn and【C16】______to all speakers because it belongs not to one nation【C17】______us all. Many people, who have tried to learn other languages and failed, have succeeded in Esperanto because it is so easy. Although it is often seen as a joke and【C18】______an important【C19】______language, it has been considered【C20】______and governments are sometimes afraid of it, for it may replace the native language of any country.

选项 A、instead of
B、but
C、but to
D、rather than

答案 C

解析语法题此处考查not…but…(不是……而是……)结构，此结构为并列关系连词结构，因此not和but后面引导的成分应该是并列平行的，此处not后采用的是不定式todo结构，but后也应采用to dot占构。instead of与rather than(而不是)，本身带有否定含义，不需与not连用，如：It belongs to us all instead of／rather than one nation。
