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 in English 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(认知的) 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 another 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:
A. lack                    I. different
B. performance             J. competently
C. poorly                  K. high
D. potential               L. involved
E. overtake                M. experience
F. active                  N. exceed
G. introduced              O. native
H. low
选项
答案M
解析 attributes表明句中存在因果关系，her public school ______ in the Middle Eastern country of Lebanon是her achievement in English的原因。由文章第二段可知，黎巴嫩公立学校的老师教学生两三门语言，正是因为Rola受到过这样的教育，她才能在英语方面取得好的成绩。所填词应能体现Rola在黎巴嫩公立学校学习的过程，所以选M.experience“经历”。干扰项B.performance指“表现”，而文章并没有提到Rola在黎巴嫩公立学校的具体学习表现。
