问题     Language barriers present a variety of challenges for children of any age. In Houston alone, bilingual education programs have helped many grade-school students【S1】the trials that accompany not being able to speak English.
    In the past, such vital curriculum was not always readily【S2】for children who needed it. One person who experienced the【S3】of school life without a bilingual program was UH education professor Yolanda Padron.
    As a child, Padron and her family moved from Cuba to the United States. Settling in Landover, Mass., she was placed into elementary school, but had no working【S4】of English. With that, she found herself at a【S5】disadvantage.
    "When I came here, I was in the fifth grade, but because I didn’t speak English, they put me back a year," she said. "We lived there for about six months before we moved to Houston. When I came here, I still didn’t speak English, so I was placed back another grade. At the time, that was the【S6】to how to deal with children who didn’t speak the language." Despite the awkwardness of being placed back two grade levels, Padron【S7】some much-needed attention from concerned teachers. After being【S8】, it was learned that she was on par with other students of her【S9】age despite not knowing English. By the eighth grade, Padron was【S10】able to join students in her peer group.
A) little I) lost
B) major J) received
C) impossible K) difficulties
D) tested L) knowledge
E) finally M) available
F) response N) basically
G) own O) overcome
H) happiness [br] 【S10】
选项
答案 N
解析 经分析可知，空所在句不缺主体成份，故本空应填副词，E)和N)入选。上文一直在说她不懂英语，而到了八年级，她能加入同伴们的谈话了，这里强调的是一个渐进的过程，结合Padr6n并无语言基础的事实可知应选N)basically。E)finally表达的是一种最终结果，和文意不相符，因为她以后肯定能更精通英语，八年级时达到的水平并不是一个终点，故排除。
