【正确答案】 D

【答案解析】此题属于语义搭配题。speak 意为“说话”，着重开口发声，不着重所说的内容，一般为不及物动词，在作为及物动词时，宾语只能是语言(如Chinese/English)、真话(truth)等少数的词，不能接that 引导的名词性从句，例如：I have heard him speak of you．原句出现的宾语English 说明，此处选项[D]spoken 正确。选项[A]say 意为“说出，说道”，着重所说的话，用直接引语时只能用say，例如：(1)He said little that we didn't know yet．(2)He said:“I don't know what happened．”选项[B]tell 意为“告诉”，兼有嘱托，命令之意，除了较少的情况，如 tell the truth/a lie 之外，一般后面接双宾语，tell sb.sth/to do sth．或tell sb．about sth．例如：She told me to wait for her．选项[C]talk 与speak 意思相近，一般也用作不及物动词，用作及物动词时，宾语只能是某国语言，nonsense 等词，但 talk 含有“话是对某人说的”意思，有较强的对答、讨论意味，例如：He went on talking for a long time，but he spoke so fast that few of us could catch what he said.
