问题     Rola, a 16-year-old girl, is excited, yet scared, as she begins her first year of college in the United States. She attributes her achievement to her public school 【S1】______ in the Middle Eastern country of Lebanon.
    In Lebanon, teachers in public schools teach students two or three 【S2】______ languages, usually French and English. Since Rola already mastered English, it became easier for her to perform 【S3】______ in the class. To shape our future, educators must recognize the 【S4】______ a second language affords to students such as Rola. Research indicates that children who study a foreign language show increased cognitive ability and 【S5】______ normal classroom expectations. Why not teach a second language to elementary school youngsters? Teachers in many European and Asian countries do just that.
    The majority of students born and raised in the United States 【S6】______ formal education in an other language. Sometimes, they are first 【S7】______ to a second language in high school when it is of ten difficult for them to master a second language. Newsweek supports this claim when it notes that "A child taught a second language after age ten is unlikely ever to speak it like a 【S8】______." Re search supports this notion. Positron Emission Tomography(PET) scans show that by age four children’s brains are twice as 【S9】______ as adult brains. This 【S10】______ level of activity makes it easier for children to learn a second language.

              Word Bank:

B. performance          J. competently
C. poorly               K. high
D. potential            L. involved

选项
答案 M
解析 attributes揭示了句中存在因果关系，her public school______in the Middle Eastern country of Lebanon是her achievement的原因，文章第二段告诉我们黎巴嫩公立学校的老师教学生两三门语言，由于Rola已经掌握了英语，因此她在美国上大学时就能更轻松地胜任学习了，因此空格处所在句子的含义应该是：Rola把自己在大学取得的成绩归功于她在黎巴嫩公立学校的学习经历—她已经掌握英语了。因此答案选experience。performance形成很强的干扰，但是performance指的是“表现”，强调的是人做某事的好坏，而文章并没有提她在黎巴嫩的学习表现，只是说她在黎巴嫩已经学了英语，因此只能说是学习经历。
