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] (16)
选项
A、neither
B、either
C、as
D、so
答案
D
解析
空格后为主谓倒装,符合此用法的只有neither和so。后一句说。那些讲11种语言的人的目标是实践(to do),所以此处要说明实践策略与记忆、动机和练习同样重要,故填入so。
