In Babel No More, Michael Erard investigates the legend of Mezzofanti and(3)_____ linguistic geniuses.(4)_____on Erard asks what it means to really know a language. Claire Kramsch tells him the question(5)_____ not be "How many languages do you know?" but rather "In how many languages do you live?" Understanding the(6)_____ cultural difference of a language requires extensive and(7)_____ contact with its speakers, and for that reason Kramsch (8)_____ that anyone could ever live in more than four or five languages.

Erard points out that, for no good reason, this question has been(11)_____ by science. After all, we study extraordinary(12)_____ in mathematics and music; why not linguistic geniuses?
Erard(13)_____down Mezzofanti’s papers, speaks to many language experts and even learns that some bilingual people experience mental illness in one(14)_____ but not another.

选项
A、direct
B、continuous
C、active
D、exclusive
答案
B
解析
此处需要填入与extensive“广泛的”并列的形容词,修饰contact“联系”。广泛的联系说明联系已进行,故排除direct“直接的”、active“积极的”和exclusive“排外的”,选择continuous“连续的”,说明要理解理解文化差异,需要与本地人广泛而连续的接触。
