问题 单项选择题

历史上,语言在世界上的分布反映了世界权力的分配,使用最广泛的语言,如英语、西班牙语、法语、阿拉伯语和俄语,都是或曾是帝国的语言,这些帝国曾积极促进其他民族使用它们的语言。权力分配的变化产生了语言使用的变化,英国和法国都曾坚持在其殖民地使用自己的语言,但大多数前殖民地独立后,都在不同程度上努力用本土语言代替帝国语言,并取得了不同程度的成功。 这段文字意在说明:

A.本土语言是民族独立的重要标志 

B.语言使用是政治权力的某种表现 

C.利用权力推行语言是无法持续的 

D.殖民统治对语言分布有深刻影响

答案

参考答案:B

解析:

解析

根据提问可知本题属于隐含主旨题。

文段描述的主体是语言和权力,权力是因,语言使用是果。具体介绍了语言的使用受到权力分配的影响。无论是帝国、殖民国家、殖民地,语言的使用都反映了权力的分配,语言也随着权力的变化而变化。

B项是对因果关系主旨的概括,政治权力是因,语言使用是果。A项延伸错误,从文段中只能得知殖民地独立之后努力用本土语言代替帝国语言,而不是本土语言是独立的标志;C项无法从文段中得到,根据文段描述,帝国语言在殖民统治期间仍然是强力的、持续的,独立之后改变语言是为了摆脱殖民的阴影,无法得到权力推行语言的持续性如何;D项是不重要内容,文段并不想强调殖民统治的影响。

故正确答案为B。
