问题     It seems more and more Americans want schools to teach foreign languages to children younger than five years old. The most【S1】______way to teach these young children another language is the method【S2】______immersion (浸入式教学法). Children in immersion programs hear only the new language in the classroom. The children play games, sing songs and talk to one another in the【S3】______language. Some experts say immersion programs are the most【S4】______way for young children to learn a language. But there can be a problem when children in the United States begin to learn another language at such an early age. Not many elementary schools【S5】______the effort as the children get older.
    Only seven of the fifty states【S6】______schools to teach a foreign language to students between the ages of six and twelve. Language experts say it is easier for younger children to learn a language. Still, American schools【S7】______do not begin to teach foreign languages until secondary school. By then, students are about thirteen years old.
    American schools face difficult【S8】______about the cost of educational programs. The federal government has【S9】______support for foreign language study in its education law called No Child Left Behind.
    At the college level, the Modern Language Association says more students than ever are studying foreign languages. The group recently announced its【S10】______from the period from 1998 to 2002. The number of students who studied foreign language in American colleges and universities increased by 17 percent.
[A] defined           [F] findings             [K] require
[B] called            [G] continue             [L] make
[C] generally         [H] primarily            [M] popular
[D] native            [I] choices              [N] effective
[E] increased         [J] new                  [O] preferences [br] 【S9】
选项
答案 E
解析 空前的助动词has及空后的名词support表明，本空应填一过去分词，[A]defined和[E]increased入选。由前面提到的学校面临困难可知，此处应该是说联邦政府增加支持，故答案为[E]increased“增加”。[A] defined“给…下定义；限定”不符合此处语境。
