There are a growing number of language immersion schools in
the United States, including one that was founded in Columbia
called La Petite Ecole, which teaches children French as a second
language at an age when children’s brains are the most compliant.
Statistics, however, show that language instruction in regular
schools is actually decreasing, and relatively few Americans know
the second language. Scholars have spent years studying why【S1】______
Americans seem to regard the importance of learning languages.【S2】______
While they have developed theories and posited potential solutions
to, the future of language learning in the United States remains【S3】______
hazy.
Since 1997, the percentage of elementary and middle schools
that offer foreign language courses has dropped significantly, from
31 percent to 25 percent at the elementary level and from 75 percent
to 58 percent at the middle school level.
However, the decline in elementary schools appeared primarily
in public schools, as private elementary schools teaching foreign【S4】______
language remained roughly same at 51 percent. The percentage of【S5】______
high schools teaching foreign language have remained at about 91【S6】______
percent. This information comes from a nationwide survey of public
and private schools conducting in 2008 by the Center for Applied【S7】______
Linguistics in Washington, D. C.
Meanwhile, the number of language immersion schools designed
to teach a second language to English-speaking children and young
adults has actually increased. Since 1962, 367 two-way immersion
programs—schools that pair native English speakers with these who【S8】______
speak another native language—developed in 28 states, including【S9】______
Washington, D. C. And, as in 2007, 263 total and partial【S10】______
immersion schools have been established.
【S1】
选项
答案
the—a
解析
冠词误用。the second language的意思是“第二种语言”,表示特指,不符合句意,而a secondlanguage的意思是“另一种语言”,表示泛指,符合句意。该句的意思是“很少有美国人懂得另一种语言”,故将the改为a。
