问题     China is casting such a huge shadow on the United States that many Americans are trying hard to learn the Chinese language with an effort to keep their competitive edge.
    "Interest in learning Chinese among American youth and their parents has grown【47】in the past five years," said Vivien Stewart, vice president at the Asia Society, a US group trying to bridge the【48】between Americans and the peoples of Asia and the Pacific.
    China’s rapid progress is driving the interest to【49】the language, experts say. "The Chinese rich cultural traditions and【50】economy mean that it is now essential for all of our students to be better prepared to engage them and seize opportunities together," said Michael Levine, Asia Society’s executive director of education.
    A 2004 College Board survey found that 2400 high schools--an【51】number--would be interested in【52】the Advanced Placement (AP) courses in Chinese language and culture when the courses become available in 2005.
    China, the world’s most populous (人口稠密的) nation, is【53】to the United States because it is a leading trader, consumer and investor. It has【54】the United States as the world’s largest consumer and could become the second largest economy in the world, in the next two to three decades.
    Even though the US State Department has regarded the Chinese language extremely important to national prosperity , the "【55】conditions to support recruitment of students and teachers as well as the growth of high quality programs are【56】inadequate,  an Asia Society study says.
    A) thriving          B) automatically          C) dramatically          D) important
    E) regained          F) replaced               G) pursue                H) request
    I) incredible        J) efficient              K) gap                   L) scarcely
    M) current           N) offering               O) discouragingly [br]
选项
答案 O
解析 这里需要填入一个副词来修饰inadequate，选择范围缩小到B、L和O。B放入空白处明显不合逻辑，L放进去意思和上下文不符，只有O“令人泄气地”是“不足”的正常反应，故正确答案为O。
