问题     Language barriers present a variety of challenges for children of any age. In Houston a lone, bilingual education programs have helped many grade-school students【S1】______the trials that accompany not being able to speak English.
    In the past, such vital curriculum was not always readily【S2】______for children who needed it. One person who experienced the【S3】______of school life without a bilingual program was UH education professor Yolanda Padr6n.
    As a child, Padr6n and her family moved from Cuba to the United States. Settling in Land over, Mass., she was placed into elementary school, but had no working【S4】______of English. With that, she found herself at a【S5】______disadvantage.
    "When I came here, I was in the fifth grade, but because I didn’t speak English, they put me back a year," she said. "We lived there for about six months before we moved to Houston. When I came here, I still didn’t speak English, so I was placed back another grade. At the time, that was the【S6】______on how to deal with children who didn’t speak the language."
    Despite the awkwardness of being placed back two grade levels, Padron【S7】______some much needed attention from concerned teachers. After being【S8】______, it was learned that she was on par with other students her【S9】______age despite not knowing English. By the eighth grade, Padron was【S10】______able to join students in her peer group.

[A] little                    [F] response                       [K] difficulties
[B] major                     [G] own                            [L] knowledge
[C] impossible                [H] happiness                      [M] available
[D] tested                    [I] lost                           [N] basically
[E] finally                   [J] received                       [O] overcome
【S5】
选项
答案B
解析 字所在位置决定此处应填能修饰disadvantage的词。下一段是对空格所在句的具体说明，通过具体描述Padron和其他讲英语的学生比起来的劣势，以及这一不利因素带来的影响一留级两次，说明了这个劣势的严重性，因此空所填词也应表达这个意思，故选major。注意这里不能选impossible和little，这两个词虽然也能修饰disadvantage，但无法使语意通顺，并且空前面是a，而不是an，这也提示所填词不可能是impossible。
