　　Ⅳ.閱讀理解

　　There are a growing number of language immersion (沉浸) schools in the United States, including one that was founded in Columbia called La Petite Ecole, which teaches children French as a second language. Statistics, however, show that language instruction in regular schools is actually decreasing, and relatively few Americans know a second language.

　　Scholars have spent years studying why Americans seem to ignore the importance of learning languages. While they have developed theories and given potential solutions, the future of language learning in the United States remains_hazy.

　　Since 1997, the percentage of elementary and middle schools that offer foreign language courses has fallen 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 has appeared primarily in public schools, while the percentage of private elementary schools teaching foreign languages has remained roughly the same at 51 percent. The percentage of high schools teaching foreign languages has remained at about 91 percent.

　　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 those who speak another native language—have developed in 28 states.

　　“The younger the learner is, the more likely the acquisition of a second language will be facilitated，” Adel Safty wrote in the Canadian Journal of Education. Linguistic ability shows the greatest development between the ages of 4 and 8, she wrote.

　　While the number of people who speak a language other than English at home is still relatively small, it has more than doubled over the past 30 years, according to a survey released in April.

　　People between 18 and 40 make up the largest percentage of people who speak a foreign language. The 5 to 17 age group follows closely. But, among those 41 and older, the percentage of people who speak a second language decreases.

　　語篇解讀：學習外語似乎已經成為了一個全球化的熱潮，在美國是一種什么情況呢？

　　1．What does the passage mainly deal with?

　　A．The situation of Americans learning foreign languages.

　　B．Why Americans don't like learning foreign languages.

　　C．The importance of learning foreign languages.

　　D．Suggestions for learning foreign languages.

　　答案：A　主旨大意題。文章主要剖析了美國人學外語的現狀。

　　2．The underlined phrase “remains hazy” in the second paragraph probably means “________”．

　　A．is still unimportant B．continue to be uncertain

　　C．have to be impossible D．is impolite

　　答案：B　詞義猜測題。前文提到外語學習的形勢不容樂觀，此處又說明雖然學者們提出了一些解決方法，但是前景應該仍然“不好、不確定”。

　　3．According to Adel Salty, ________.

　　A．people should begin to study foreign languages after age 8

　　B．learners who have a friend to help them study a language better

　　C．age has a big effect on people's ability to learn a foreign language

　　D．people's linguistic ability grows with their age and experience

　　答案：C　推理判斷題。從第五段的“The younger the learner is, the more likely the acquisition of a second language will be facilitated”可知Adel Safty認為學習外語的能力會受到的年齡的很大影響。

　　4．We can learn from the passage that ________.

　　A．the percentage of public elementary schools teaching foreign languages has increased since 1997

　　B．the percentage of high schools teaching foreign languages has decreased since 1997
