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:
A. lack                 I. different
B. performance          J. competently
C. poorly               K. high
D. potential            L. involved
E. enjoy                M. experience
F. active               N. exceed
G. introduced           O. native
H. low
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。
