(10 points) Learning a second language fuels childrens intelligence and makes their job prospects brighter. 1 the fact is, in U.S.A, as in many other English speaking countries, speakers of two or more languages are in the 2 . Eighty-four percent of US people are monolingual (speakers of only one language). This leaves a small number who 3 to speak two or more languages.No matter how proud people are of their cultural roots, to speak anything 4 English is a marker of difference here. Thats why fourteen-year-old Umar is 5 when people comment on the fact that he is able to speak Arabic. Umars mother points out: In U.S.A, its not 6 for kids to be bilingual. But, if you speak another language to your children in U.S.A, it is thought that you are not helping them to 7 society.But in fact, the general 8 among experts is that learning a second language is good for children. Experts believe that bilinguals people who speak 9 languages have a clear learning advantage 10 their monolingual schoolmates. This 11 on how much of each language they can speak, not on which language is used, 12 they are learning Arabic, French, Chinese or any other language.Vinss Millon, a professor of Foreign Language Training, says: A lot of studies have 13 that children who speak more than one language sometimes learn one language more 14 , but in the end they do as well as their monolingual schoolmates, and often better, in other subjects. The view is that there is a(n) 15 from the effort of learning another language. A few other 16 agree that “Bilinguals tend to use language better as a whole. They also 17 greater creativity and problem-solving ability, and they learn further languages more easily”.With all of the benefits, why do we not show more 18 for learning other languages? Parents and teachers 19 in bilingual education say it is pressure from friends at school, general 20 to other languages in English-speaking countries, and problems in the school system that are to blame.1、AAndBSoCButDThus2、AminimumBmaximumCminorityDmajority3、AclaimBpretendCdecideDplan4、Amore thanBless thanCrather thanDother than5、AexcitedBembarrassedCdisappointedDappreciated6、AcommonBunusualCuniqueDgeneral7、Afit inBbuild upCcontribute toDfigure out8、AdistinctionBcommissionCannouncementDagreement9、AoneBtwoCthreeDmore10、AbeneathBbeyondCoverDof11、AdeterminesBfocusesCcommentsDdepends12、AifBwhetherCwhenDbecause13、ArejectedBreleasedCrevealedDreminded14、AslowlyBrapidlyCeasilyDefficiently15、AoutcomeBimprovementCadvantageDtendency16、AparentsBlearnersCschoolmatesDprofessors17、AdisplayBproduceCinspireDdiscover18、AconcernBrespectCenthusiasmDintelligence19、AinvolvedBimpressedCcompetingDreplacing20、AopinionsBobstaclesCsensesDattitudesSection II Reading ComprehensionPart ADirections:Read the following four texts.

Fifty percent of patients completed the program in this way.Summarizing the findings, Kuzmar says: “What patients wa
