【解析】
⑴主旨大意。根据第一段Eight in ten New Zealanders thought that school children should learn a language besides English可知80%的新西兰人认为在校学生应该学习一门除了英语之外的语言，所以本文是关于在新西兰学习语言的事，故选Ｂ。
⑵细节理解。根据表格可知学习毛利语的有22729人，在所有的语言中最多，故选B。
⑶细节理解。根据倒数第二栏可知支持学习中文的大多数是60岁以上的人，故选C。
⑷细节理解。根据第一句可知A错误；根据表格可知11888人学日语，20478人学法语，所以学法语的人比学日语的人多，故B错误。根据living in high—income(收入)families可知C错误；根据最后一栏可知支持学习毛利语的是毛利人、女性和60一下的人，故D正确。
