Question

7．你了解美麗的內(nèi)陸山國(guó)瑞士嗎？你知道瑞士人講什么語(yǔ)言嗎？
School children in eight German-speaking states of Switzerland are to learn English，rather than French，as their second language．
Education bosses said that pupils would now start learning English four years earlier than at present-in the third year instead of the seventh．
The teaching of French-Switzerland's second most widely spoken language after German would start in the fifth year．
The move follows a decision by the mainly German-speaking canton of Zurich two years ago to make English the first foreign language to be taught in schools in place of French．
Officials in Zurich said the measure was justified （證明）because English was increasingly becoming the most important language in both professional and personal circles．
But critics （評(píng)論家）of the decision are mainly native French and Italian speakers．They said learning the languages of other Swiss nationals had helped the country to live in harmony，avoiding the ethnic tensions （種族緊張關(guān)系），for example，in Spain．
Around 64% of the Swiss population is German-speaking，while French speakers make up nearly 19% of the population．
Italian is the mother-tongue of 5% of Swiss nationals and a small group speak Romansch，a descendant （后裔）of Latin．
The situation is complicated by the fact that 20% of those living in Switzerland are foreigners，speaking a variety of languages．
53．From the passage，we knowDis the first most widely used language in Switzerland．
A．English        B．French         C．Italian         D．German
54．Why do children in German-speaking states regard English as their second language？B

解答 53-56．DBBC
53題答案：D考查細(xì)節(jié)推理，根據(jù)文章中的Around 64% of the Swiss population is German-speaking．（大約64%的瑞士人口講德語(yǔ)）可知本題答案為D選項(xiàng)．
54題答案：B考查細(xì)節(jié)推理，根據(jù)文章中的because English was increasingly becoming the most important language in both professional and personal circles．
因?yàn)橛⒄Z(yǔ)在職業(yè)圈和個(gè)人圈越來越重要．可知本題答案為B選項(xiàng)．
55題答案：B考查細(xì)節(jié)推理，根據(jù)文章中的Around 64% of the Swiss population is German-speaking，while French speakers make up nearly 19% of the population．Italian is the mother-tongue of 5% of Swiss nationals and a small group speak Romansch，a descendant （后裔）of Latin．大約64%的瑞士人口講德語(yǔ)，而講法語(yǔ)的人占據(jù)了將近19%的人口．意大利語(yǔ)是5%瑞士籍人的母語(yǔ)，還有還有一小群人講羅曼斯語(yǔ)--他們是拉丁人的后裔．可知本題答案為B選項(xiàng)．
56題答案：C考查細(xì)節(jié)推理，根據(jù)文章中的They said learning the languages of other Swiss nationals had helped the country to live in harmony，avoiding the ethnic tensions （種族緊張關(guān)系），for example，in Spain．他們說學(xué)習(xí)其他瑞士籍人的語(yǔ)言有助于幫助國(guó)家生活在和諧之中，從而避免種族緊張關(guān)系，例如在西班牙．由此可知西班牙人曾經(jīng)看到過"種族關(guān)系緊張"，故本題答案為C選項(xiàng)．
