Who hasn’t wanted to master not just two languages but 10? Take Giuseppe Mezzofanti, a 19th-century priest who was said to be(1)_____ in as many as 50 languages. Native speakers came from all over the world to test his(2)_____, and many left astonished.
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.
Fair enough,(9)_____ what about the astonishing feats of memory and calculation that people display when they(10)_____ up a new language, or eight? 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. Most interestingly, he (15)_____ a group of modem linguistic geniuses. Memory, motivation and practice are all important; they say, but(16)_____is a practical strategy.(17)_____ who claimed to speak 11 languages did not much care about(18)_____ like a native. Unlike Mezzofanti, their goal was not to(19)_____ but to do—see the world, read the local paper and not get(20)_____. [br] (9)
选项
A、but
B、because
C、and
D、or
答案
A
解析
此处需要填入逻辑连词,空格前的fairenough总结了上文kramsch的看法(人们没法生活在多门语言中)是有道理的,空格后提到人们在学习新的语言时表现出了的惊人记忆力和计算本领。上下文之间是转折关系,故填入but。
