问题     It seems more and more Americans want schools to teach foreign languages to children younger than five years old.

But there can be a problem when children in the United States begin to learn another language at such an early age. Not many elementary schools【S5】______the effort as the children get older.
    Only seven of the fifty states【S6】______schools to teach a foreign language to students between the ages of six and twelve.

By then, students are about thirteen years old.
    American schools face difficult【S8】______about the cost of educational programs. The federal government has【S9】______support for foreign language study in its education law called No Child Left Behind.

选项

答案 M

解析 空前的most及空后的way表明,此处应填一多音节形容词。文章开头提到越来越多的美国家长想让学校在他们的孩子不到5岁时就开始教授外语,接着下文介绍了immersion(浸入式教学法),由此可知,这种外语教学法应该是被很多学校所接受,即受到大家的欢迎,故答案为[M]popular“广受欢迎的”。
