people are monolingual可知，多数人只会说一种语言，因此会说两种及多种语言的人为少数，故选c项。minimum最小；maximum最大；minority少数；majority多数。3解析 a根据语境可知，说两种及多种语言的人很少，因此，这就导致了一小部分人要求学两种或多种语言，故选a项。claim主张，要求； pretend假装； promise承诺；refuse拒绝。4解析

children可知，学习第二语言对孩子大有裨益，这与之前认为会说外语并不能帮孩子融入社会的观点相反，故选a项。fit in适应；build up建立；contribute to捐助，导致，促成；figure out计算出。8解析 d根据下文中的experts
