Ⅲ.语法填空
(2020·河南省焦作市高三定位考试)English perfectly shows the “network effects” of a global tongue: the more people use it, the more useful it is. Parents expect their children __1__ (master) English, which is encouraging the __2__ (grow) of private schooling. Education authorities are switching to English medium, in part to control the outflow (外流) of children into the private sector.
Teaching children in English is fine if that is __3__ they speak at home and their parents are fluent __4__ it. But that is not __5__ case in most public and lowcost private schools. Children are taught in a language they don't understand by teachers __6__ English is poor. The children learn neither English nor anything else.
Research shows that children learn __7__ (much) when they are taught in their mother tongue than they do when they are taught in any other language. In a study of children in 12 schools in Cameroon last month, those taught in Kom __8__ (do) better than those taught in English in all subjects.
English should be an important subject at school, but not __9__ (necessary)the language of instruction. Rather than switching to Englishmedium teaching, governments fearful of __10__ (lose) custom (光顾) to the private sector should look at the many possible ways of improving public schools.

篇章导读：本文是一篇议论文。文章阐述了儿童教学宜采用母语，而非英语。 1．to master 考查动词不定式。expect sb. to do sth. “期望某人做某事”为固定短语。故填to master。
2．growth 考查词性转换。the＋名词＋of ... “……的”。故填growth。
3．what 考查表语从句的连接词。分析句子结构可知，is后接表语从句。在表语从句中，what作speak的宾语。故填what。
4．in 考查介词。be fluent in “在……方面流利”为固定短语。故填in。 5．the 考查冠词。that is not the case “情况不是这样”为固定短语。故填the。 6．whose 考查定语从句的引导词。分析句子结构可知，teachers 为先行词，引导词在后面的定语从句中作定语，所以关系代词为whose。故填whose。
7．more 考查形容词比较级。由“than”可知，空处应填much的比较级more。故填more。 8．did 考查动词时态。由“last month”可知，本句为一般过去时。所以空处填did。 9．necessarily 考查词性转换。necessarily为副词修饰整个句子。故填necessarily。 10．losing 考查非谓语动词。of为介词，后接动名词作宾语。故填losing。 Ⅳ.书面表达
