问题     Quite often, educators tell families of children who are learning English as a second language to speak only English, and not their native language, at home. Although these educators may have good【C1】______, their advice to families is misguided, and it【C2】______from misunderstandings about the process of language acquisition. Educators may fear that children hearing two languages will become【C3】______confused and thus their language development will be【C4】________; this concern is not documented in the literature. Children arc capable of learning more than one language, whether【C5】______or sequentially(依次地). In fact, most children outside of the United States are expected to become bilingual or even, in many cases, multilingual. Globally, knowing more than one language is viewed as an【C6】______and even a necessity in many areas.
    It is also of concern that the misguided advice that students should speak only English is given primarily to poor families with limited educational opportunities, not to wealthier families who have many educational advantages. Since children from poor families often are【C7】______as at-risk for academic failure, teachers believe that advising families to speak English only is appropriate. Teachers consider learning two languages to be too【C8】______for children from poor families, believing that the children are already burdened by their home situations.

选项

答案I

解析 空格位于谓语become和形容词confused之间,可以判定该词是对形容词confused进行修饰,必须填入副词。空格所在句的意思是“教育者们可能担心同时听到两种语言的孩子会对这两种语言产生——混淆”。由fear“担心”这个词可以推断产生的应该是不好的影响。分析备选副词选项的词义,只有permanently“永远地.长久地”符合句意。另外两个副词simultaneously和successively的意思与上下文语意不符.故排除。
