问题     Quite often, educators tell families of children who are learning English as a second language to speak only English, and not their native language, at home. Although these educators may have good【C1】______, their advice to families is misguided, and it【C2】______from misunderstandings about the process of language acquisition. Educators may fear that children hearing two languages will become【C3】______confused and thus their language development will be【C4】________; this concern is not documented in the literature.

选项

答案 K

解析 由空格后出现的or可推知空格处应填入副词,与sequentially相呼应。本句前半部分提到了“孩子们有能力学习一种以上的语言”。而空格后的“依次地”一词点明空格中的单词也是对孩子们学习语言顺序的一种描述,与“依次”一词相对的意思为simultaneously“同时地”,故为答案。备选项中,successively“接连着,继续地”也可以表示动作行为的顺序,但该词与sequentially意思相似,不能形成选择关系。故排除。
