Who is …？可以用于问身份或职业吗？
2016年高考英语全国卷听力题：17. Who is Wang Ming? （A. A
student. B. An employer. C. An engineer. ）
这道高考听力题是值得商榷的。who是用来问姓名或出身的，可所给的选项是人们所从事的职业，这不是不合理饿，应改为：What is Wang Ming?。请看词典例句：
— What is he? —他是做什么的? — He is a teacher. —他是教师。《21世纪英汉汉英双向词典》
▲ 费致德《现代英语惯用法词典》有如下具体说明：
1. who通常用以指人的姓名，有时可指人的出身、性格、重要性。例如：
Who is he? (=What
is his name?)
2. What通常用以指人的职业，有时可指人的级衔、国籍。例如：
What is he? (=What
is his profession? What is his occupation? What is he by profession?)
