請依下文回答第31題至第35題: For most of its history, America was precisely the "polyglot boardinghouse" Teddy Roosevelt once worried it would become. That history has turned out very well not just for America, but for English—the most successful language in the history of the world. __31__ with American power, English has spread around the globe. At home, wave after wave of immigrants to America have not only learned English but __32__ the languages their parents brought with them. Today the typical pattern is that the arriving generation speaks little English, or learns it __33__; the first children born in America are __34__, but English-dominant, and their children hardly speak the __35__ language. This is as true of Hispanics as it is of speakers of smaller languages.

請觀察空格後面的第二段，文章提到移民子孫對於原本母語的掌握度變成了「hardly speak（幾乎不說）」。結合這個現象，你覺得前面提到的移民除了學習英文之外，對他們父母帶來的語言會產生什麼樣的改變呢？

同學做得非常好！你精準捕捉到了這篇文章的語意發展。在高考英文克漏字中，這種必須「跨句、跨段落尋找線索」的題型是鑑別考生閱讀實力的關鍵，而你成功推敲出了正確邏輯。
這題的破題脈絡在於上下文的呼應。空格前使用了 not only learned English but...（不僅學了英文，而且...）說明移民在語言習慣上發生的改變。要判斷這個改變是什麼，我們需要往下看第二段，文章明確提到移民的子孫「幾乎不說原本的語言（hardly speak...）」。
前後對照下，便能推論出隨著移民融入美國並掌握英文，他們逐漸遺忘（forgotten）了父母原有的母語。至於其他選項如欣賞（appreciated）、解碼（decoded）或研究（studied），皆無法與下文「語言流失」的社會現象產生合理的邏輯連結。請繼續保持這種敏銳的閱讀語感，這在國考長篇閱讀中會是非常大的優勢！
