[size=10.000000pt]Columnist: The winner of this year’s national spelling bee won by correctly spelling the spoken word Ursprache,which means “fame” in German. Given the richness of our language, why must we resort to words taken frommodern foreign languages to challenge our best spellers? Ursprache is listed in our dictionary, as are words frommany other foreign languages, but future spelling bees should limit themselves to words in our dictionary that havebeen anglicized in all aspects because spelling English words, not knowledge of linguistics and international phonetics,is the point of these contests.
[size=10.000000pt]Which of the following can most reasonably be inferred from the argument above?

A. The spelling contest winner knew how to spell most of the anglicized words in the dictionary.
B. Foreign words are more difficult than anglicized words for all contestants to spell.
C. Spelling contestant winners should be determined by their facility with all aspects of language.
D. To spell foreign words, contestants must recognize the language and know its pronunciation.
E. The English language contains more borrowed words than most other languages.

答案D
  • 可能是我没有理解题目的意思,后半段的内容不是说,拼写而非理解或发音才是比赛的关键嘛?那么为什么选D呢?D说要拼写这些舶来词,需要知道这种语言并了解其发音。很可能是我理解错题目的意思了,麻烦大神看一下,谢谢。

The  author  wants  to  exclude  foreign  words  because  spelling bees  should  be based  only  on spelling  ability,  not  on  "knowledge  of linguistics and international phonetics." Thus, the author mustbelieve that spelling foreign words correctly when they are spoken requires knowledge of the phonetics of the foreign language in question.
